3D Printer Recommendations [2017]

R3D

I'm in the market for a new 3d printer, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for specific price points. I've been staring at 3dhubs for a while and checked out their reviews specifically here https://www.3dhubs.com/best-3d-printer-guide but I was wondering if anyone had any additional recommendations.

Creality CR-10 is what has my attention right now. Amazing price, huge print area, good quality prints.

I'd pick something else if you are interested in finishing smaller, higher quality prints. For ABS with that printer you'd need to come up with a large custom enclosure and it'd take a while to heat up.

I'm really fond of my Dremel Idea Builder. $1k, doesn't print ABS but unless you're doing engineering work you don't need it.

I own a Flashforge Finder and a CR-10 S5, and I would personally recommend both. But what are your requirements for the printer itself? Specific materials? Size? Dual extruder? Heated bed? Auto leveling? Kit printer? High quality prints? Plug n play? Enclosed?
