MAKE's Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing and Buyer's Guide

At Engadget Expand on Nov. 8 in New York, MAKE digital fabrication editor Anna Kaziunas France announced the MAKE 3D Printer Buyer's Guide on the main stage to an audience of sponsors and press. Along with addressing the current state of 3D printing, she also describes the process of testing the printers, and the winners of each category.

You guys and gals at Make are doing a great service to the 3D Printing community and the general public. Thank you! And bravo Anna for the great presentation.

I'm disappointed that the reprap project wasn't even mentioned.  Not to put too fine of a point on it, but this is "Make" and not "Buy", right?

I have the ultimaker for nearly year now and still impressed and printing seems to get better the more in prints and that faster it prints. Very happy. Cura software recently though not working correctly on a mac only complaint.

It says that 23 printers are tested. I would just like to know if the one I have decided to buy is included -- as I'm sure a lot of others might before deciding to buy the mag (hence my choice is really irrelevant: Why not list all the names?)

She spent more time speaking about the process than the printers themselves. A little long winded. Otherwise a good presentation.
