<p>HI Jeanean,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have only used the "Mini UP 3D" for printing, so it's difficult to compare it with others. The print areas is about 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm, but in reality it's a bit smaller than that as tall objects tend to warp. Also I'd recommend pre-heating the print
bed to get better results and to assure good adhesion to the print-bed, as it may peal off a cold print-bed which will wreck the print.</p>
<p>With purchasing a printer also look at the printing material as you can get black, white, basic colours, & glow in the dark. And finally testing-wise
<a id="LPlnk841163" href="http://www.thingiverse.com/" class="OWAAutoLink">http://www.thingiverse.com/</a> can give you some excellent models.<br>
