I know there are few of you on here who have a 3D printer. I've wanted one for the longest time but could never justify buying one. I'm working on a few projects on the drag car so I'm using this as an excuse to get one in order to test fit parts before machining (and to print random unnecessary things too obviously....)
So, what's everyone using? What made you choose the one you have? Likes and dislikes?
I've narrowed it down to the CraftBot 3 and the Prusa i3 MK3, but I'm sure there are others out there that are good. I'm really liking the Prusa and about to pull the trigger on one but want to get some feedback from others first. Any recommendations? Below is what I'm in the market for (things that I liked about the CraftBot and Prusa basically).

- "Decent" build volume without spending more money than what the CraftBot costs
- Good print quality. I understand this is subjective and varies with cost of the printer
- Can print a variety of materials
- No crowdsourced printer. I want something that's available now.
- Wifi standard would be nice but I see people buy a raspberry pi and use Octoprint
- IDEX would be nice but honestly don't know I need it
- Automatic bed leveling is preferred but I'm sure that comes with it's own issues
