My boss was at a conference and found a booth for these guys and then within a week of him being back, he bought their 3D printer called the JellyBox. My issue is that I can only find 1 review of the JellyBox printer.Make: ReviewThere is another &#8220;review&#8221; that simply extracts the key points from the Make reviewWe ended up with the Maker&#8217;s Kit so I am in for the full DIY experience \ud83d\ude00 We upgraded to the heated bed and dual filament fans. I will admit I am ecstatic to get to build a 3d printer and get paid for doing so.We are happy to finally have a 3d printer to toy with but this was an impulsive purchase on my boss&#8217; end and no one else was consulted. I had been looking at a Prusa i3 since it is open source and that is a requirement here at the library. Our end goal is 2 or 3 printers for our Makerspace and I am not sure if this $900 printer is any better than a Prusa i3 kit for $500 &#8211; $600 with similar specs. Being a library, we don&#8217;t have a lot of money to work with and I want to make sure we aren&#8217;t throwing money away pointlessly because a printer is geared towards the &#8220;education&#8221; market instead of DIYers.Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you and have an awesome day! http:\/\/ift.tt\/2trfTpk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday everyone!I work at a library in IT and we are in the process of trying to create a Makerspace for the public.
