There is a full range of 3D Printers available in the market. I suppose you are referring to desktop range of printers with their prices lower than $5k. In that regards, you can look at

• MakerBot Replicator 2/2X
• Portabee Go
• Portabee Classic Printer (RepRap)
• Fabbox
• Explorer
• Pirate3D Buccaneer
• Ultimaker

Generally, if you are looking at something that is ready to go with local support, MakerBot, Explorer and Portabee will be a good choice since both of them have retailers supporting them. However, since I do not have hands on experience with other printers except MakerBot, so I shall not comment on the others.

For MakerBot, we usually recommend most of our clients to get the Replicator 2. It is simple to operate and all you need to have your first print is to press a few buttons to get it done. Besides, after being on the market for 1-2 years, there have been minor design alterations and what we have now is a stable printer that prints rather consistently. Here is one of the standard 3D Object available for print.

Of course, as with all Desktop Printers, there are bound to be some hiccups such as nozzle being stuck with filaments and so on, but luckily, it is easily serviceable and you can learn it too if you are keen. (One of our adventurous client just went ahead to strip the Extruder Assembly apart to clear the clog himself.)

It is just two screws to access the inner assembly. Nothing to fancy.

Anyway, what I recommend is that you head down to the following retail shop to take a look first and try out their printing quality. By then, you will have a clearer picture and can make a decision from there.

MakerBot - SGTooling
Explorer/Portabee Go - Simplifi3d

If you really keen on MakerBot with a year of warranty after looking around, simply drop us a call and hop by our office.

Search for Pirate3D.

This is a 3D printer created by local U students. Their project took off from Kickstarter. However not sure if they have a local service center.

[AyuReady]

somehow portabee go like always under extrusion despite all my tuning efforts.

 

[Inn0vator]

Anyone tried replicator fifth generation?

Buccaneer seems like full of delays. Want to support made in Singapore 3D printer also cannot.

 

[monopole]

Don't know the brands, but I was walking around in Funan Center, the top floor challenger have a 3D printer on selling I think. Can go there take a look.

3d printers not easy to handle.

nowadays there are many local 3d printing companies that offers student rates for 3d printing. just google 3d printing singapore got so many companies.

3d printer singapore is one such company that offers student discount, might as well just print with them. save money, save time, save the trouble.

Interesting topic..
I've been testing 3D printed stuff myself too for a couple of months now - thought of doing that more before getting a 3D printer. Having tried several local 3D printing service bureaus and shapeways.com, most of them are really expensive and shipping takes forever.
Found a new crowdsourced 3D printing service marketplace - sourcemake.com recently and realised that nowadays 3D printing in exotic materials like wood, nylon, paper are available too!! Testing some basic plastic prints with sourcemake now and so far the service providers are really quite cheap and fast . Anyone else care to share your other resources here too?

[websterwong]

I'm also interested to get one 3D printer as hobby tools. Too bad too old to get student rate for online printing.

wondering how much does it cost here

 

[allypark]

Actually, how does a 3D printer work at the stores? Do you have to come up with the structure yourself or will the staff help you with it? :/

Will need to design it. These design files can be downloaded from the Internet or the staff also design for you at a cost.
