Anyone have a 3D printer that's in the "under $500, and doesn't suck too bad, and has Mac Software" category? - Paul F. - 12-19-2014

I'm still very curious and interested in 3D printers... but not quite ready to take the plunge, since for me it would be a toy/hobby, and probably not make me any money.

I'm wondering if there ARE any "under $500-ish" 3D printers, that doesn't suck too bad, and that I can run from my iMac (24" C2D, 10.6.8)?

If you have experiences with one, I'd appreciate learning a little!

I'm off to do some more Googling!

Are you planning on making articulated lobster claws, and turning Max into a battle cat? You'd still need a laser helmet.

Well, I WASN'T until you mentioned it...
That could be cool, once I get used to bleeding. Putting clothes/armor/battlegear on a cat is not without its hazards!

These guys are all Mac. They spoke at our user goup. Great story, and well priced printers.
