We're even using the printer shown in the original post, though I doubt that printer did the work shown to the right because it's build chamber is 8 X 8 X 10 Inches.

C'mon Engadget. If you're going to talk about how affordable something is, please try to do a better job of selecting something that qualifies as "affordable". Especially when there is a competing product available for 25% less (or costs 33% more than the competition, depending on how you look at it).

Anyone know how these two 3D printers stack up against each other?

don't be obtuse, different processes are more appropriate than others for different tasks.

my school (DAAP, university of cincinnati) has a couple of 3d printers, an SLA, a couple of laser cutters and so many milling machines. i love them all for different reasons.
