We spend £9000 a month in material / running costs alone on the two commercial machines we have at work.
We print a lot of things
mcmyk-
I hope to not be spending that much ;)
I want a printer that can work with abs and sla I think, and would be using it either just for non structural prototypes or functioning brackets for non (serious) load bearing applications such as the mount below (which is printed in pla and already cracked). Would you go with something like the lulzbot printer? I loved the finish from the form labs, but not I don't actually need that sort of finish, and it seems like it is not nearly as versatile as an fdm printer.

Sweet, thanks for the link.
Really annoyed I have discovered I like 3d printing, I am pretty sure this is going to get expensive.
