Oh yes? perhaps NASA give us some work also? :)
ZP 250, 3D printer, no too bad.
I'm look for to get one but I don't know which is best for the money?

I have really been enjoying the ZP 250. I understand your difficulty in making a decision as to which brand of 3D printer is best for a given price range. There are many more available lately than was the case a year or two ago. However, the criteria remain similar. For example, you should try to determine what your PRIMARY purpose in buying a 3D printer would be (i.e.: personal use, "need for speed", offer 3D printing services to colleagues and/or the public, etc.) This will help you narrow-down the printers that will meet your NEEDS then it is simply a matter of determining which one will offer as many of your WANTS as compared to the others in it's class. BUT, one of the biggest things that you need to consider is the cost of the "consumables" that are utilized by a given 3D printer. Each printer has it's own proprietary "blend" of material that the manufacturer will claim is suitable only for their specific brand (in other words, they want you to buy your replacement materials from them at a much higher price). In some cases this is true. However, in many cases there are third-party consumables available on the internet at greatly reduced prices. This is important because the cost of the build material, obviously, affects the cost of each model as well as your long-term cost of operation. Another thing to consider is whether a printer that you are considering for purchase requires a "base" upon which each model must be built. These bases are not re-usable and can add significantly to the cost of operation. Not all printers require a base for the model. For example, the ZP 250 does not.

I hope this helps. If you would like, you may email me at: driftwood.rd@gmail.com and I will send you a 3D printer "Buyer's Guide" that was helpful for me when I was in your position.
