What do you guys think of the Geetech Prusa i3 X of Geetech in general? It seems like a good deal to me because it is the upgraded X version. The instructions also seem good and there are videos included. Here is a link to the printer: [www.geeetech.com] If it isn't good then please give me suggestions on what to get (under 350 please).
Thanks!

At least it comes with build and setup instructions, unlike the nearly identical Sunhokey Prusa i3. And actually I think the GeeTech documentation will be of some help to me with the Sunhokey.

No! Do not use acrylic for anything structural. It develops tiny cracks and will eventually fail. Aluminum and steel are much better.
