What printer fits this list of what i need.

I want a 3D PRINTER. I like the ultimaker 2

Budget is 800 to 1,800 and would spend more if i had to.

I want to print larger size of the objects 8" minimum, Ideally 10" or larger.

Quality is more important than speed to me. This is the maximum amount of deviation that you may find with these printers. .2 not so good WOW i like .04 this would be great plus for me.
PRINTER TOLERANCE: This is the maximum amount of deviation that you may find with these printers. .2 not so good WOW i like .04 ( want to stay as close to .4 as posable)

Want to have a Heated Platform.

Need to Print PLA and ABS.

Want to keep Printing cost down to something reasonable.

Do i need a Duel Extruder?

Would like to have Wi-Fi connection and Touchscreen but i can live without them.

Thankyou

Step 1

Form your needs and questions in actual sentences and paragraphs.

None of us have any clue what you just posted.

Even just bullet points of your requirements and questions would be great! Why do you 'need' to buy a printer, and what are you planning to produce with it? How else are we supposed to guess what fits your needs?

Wow everyone would want a $800 - 1220 3D printer with those specs.

May be able to get one in $3000 - $4000

separate NEEDS from WANTS

See [www.3ders.org]

Understand terms deviation? resolution etc

Remember 3D printers are in the stage of development
perhaps equal to early dot matrix printers

Instead of spending $1000 now then another $2000 later
Look at a HYREL system

Is there a process of elimination that might help me decide.
What are you guys using.

I am open to any suggestions you have.

All that you've written before can be achieved. It may not all work directly when you buy it from your supplier, but after all, you'll have your own 3D printer and it is pretty easy to improve it.

I suggest you try a well know printer and improve it to reach your goals.
I personally have a MixG1 printer which isn't a really great printer. I bought it because it was affordable. I've learned a lot and modified many parts. The maximum speed was 30mm/s when printing, originally. I'm currently printing at 70mm/s. That's an improvement!

Too many to choose from.
Now i just ran across these.

I realy like the Ultimaker 2 / Just wish it was not priced so hogh.

But i think the one to have is the RPM mill if they ever get it finished, do not know about ease of use on it yet.

AirWolf 3D just came out with a larger machine that has some pretty big claims to quality but it's nearly $3k

I currently have similar wants and needs, and decided to make something happen. So I started a indiegogo campaign for a bigger 3d printer that it under $1500. It can print 2x3x3 ft and has a heated bed, dual extruders, and will print in both pla and abs, maybe other materials too. You can check it out here: [igg.me] I'm not able to give much for perks at the moment, I'm only in college.

Other than that, I'm not sure I've seen another printer like that on the market that is cheap enough
