Hello,
I've been using a Prusa i2 for the last few months and have been loving what it has allowed me to do. I however am looking to build a new printer with an increased build volume that is hopefully fast and more accurate. I was recently able to grab a RAMPS, stepper drivers, and 4 stepper motors for next to nothing and was hoping to put them to good use. However I'm trying to decide on what the best model would be to build and I was hoping I could get some feedback from people know about each type.

I'm currently trying to decide between making a Rostock (e.g. Kossel with heated build plate) and a Prusa i3.
What are the pros and cons of each?

What I want:
heated build plate
faster than the i2
more accurate than the i2
>~12" vertical build volume

Thanks

The only one of your requirements that the Kossel does better than the i3 is the 12" vertical build, for speed, accuracy and ease of build/maintenance definitely go i3.
