There seems to be hundreds of 3D Printers available to pick from. Cheap chinese kits and exceptionally expensive industrial systems. But what are the machines that simply work. Good quality machines that might not be the cheapest but are tools that you can rely on to make a good quality part ever time. Here are some good quality workhorse 3D Printers.

Taz 6 - $2,950

The Taz 6 is an open source 3D printer created by Aleph Objects. It is constructed of a powdercoated aluminum and steel frame and 3D printed parts. The Taz 6 is built in the US and is recognized as good reliable industrial desktop 3D printer. The one disadvantage of the Taz 6 is that it utilizes a moving print bed which effectively waves your parts through the air so that warping can be an issue.

Mason V1 - $1,995

The Mason V1 is a 3D Printer specifically designed to run for years with just normal maintenance. Born from printers designed for high volume 3D printing in a factory the Mason is made from a tough aluminum extrusion frame and 3D Printed parts created by the Mason itself. One truly unique advantage of the Mason is that any part made on it can immediately be produced by the thousands by the Slant 3D printing factories without samples are setup fees making it ideal for prototype to production design and planning. Through the Mason does have a slightly smaller print volume than other machines on this list.
