Usually I get excited when I have a new 3d printer to review but the next few have me nervous.

You see, ordinarily these printers are *mine*. Either I bought it with my own money or the company doesn't want them back after my review.

The next few need to be sent back, and not only that, they are more expensive than what I would normally test.

## If I break it, I buy it.

OK, you might be thinking "first world problems", and I might not have sympathy if positions were reversed, but ever print failure, every clog, every screw that doesn't go back in right ... I am thinking this is a $2,000 USD printer (before taxes and shipping - it was $96 CAD just for import duty).

Obviously I am still enjoying putting them through their paces, just an interesting dynamic that occurs as I do this.

## What would you do differently? Let me know in the comments ...
