im new to 3d printing and not sure what kind of reprap to start with i was thinking of starting with the prusa i2 but i heard that it wobbles and that there was a ton of wire strain. i looked at the huxley but i think it might be more money to build than the prusa.

The Prusa I2 is a good starting printer. Its easy to build, well documented, and parts are easy to source. I dont think you will have much trouble with wobble unless you are going to do some super speedy printing. As for wire strain, that all depends on the quality of the electrical components you are using and how well you wire it. I've only broken one wire since I started printing about 6 months ago so I would say its probably not as big of a problem as you might think. I wish I could give you some insight for some of the other great printers out there but I've only dealt with the I2 so far. Hope that helps!
