I've created a survey on school ratings of 3D printers, if you'd like to submit a response

[Peter Zingg]

Would anyone be interested in taking a survey and contributing good and bad experiences you've had with your 3D printer(s)?

I am a technology coordinator at a public K-8 school district in California. I'm interested in collecting feedback from real-world middle- and high-school users of 3D printers that come recommended by various websites and magazines, and also finding out what you think are the most important criteria when selecting a 3D printer to use in a school setting. 

Here's the survey:

Please give it a look and if you feel inclined, submit a response. I'll compile and summarize the responses in a couple of days and post it back to the group. Note: I gathered the data on some "highly rated" pre-assembled 3D printers (but these ratings come from magazines, not from educators) and put them in a spreadsheet for comparison purposes.  So far, the only responses I've gotten are about Makerbots. I'd love to collect some feedback on other makes and models.

Here's my comparison spreadsheet on 3D printer features and prices:

PS. For those who like comparison websites, I gathered most of the data for the spreadsheet from a few websites that have some nice comparison charts:

NICE charts. Thanks.

This is great, Peter! Thanks for sharing!

Do you mind if we share these resources out, including your spreadsheet and survey?

[Zingg, Peter]

Please do! I've got 11 responses to the survey so far.  I'm going to see if there are any trends and maybe report them back.
