I own a basic 3d printer and at the moment know enough to download, slice and print. I have heard good things about the makerbot units. Its best to get one with a heated bed as this helps the item stick better, also get one with a decent size bed. Mine is only 140x140mm. You then have to choose PLA or ABS for the actual printing. A printer with a control panel and an SD card slot will be good too as you can print without a computer running.
