I don't know I think I would stay away from this one until it has had time to be reviewed properly. i did a little checking if your in the UK then it might not be a bad option but, if your here in the states to buy this at 449 plus the 10 dollars for a spindle of PVA sounds pretty good. The downside is that it cost about $258 in shipping. 3D printers can be great but one of the things that your gonna want is a little customer service and experience, Now i don't know about the customer service, I haven't had to use it. But honestly I think that my first printer i would rather have a printer from an established company here in the States and at least know that i can get a hold of someone that can help if I need it (which I will need). Until they start to sell them in states from the US warehouse and there is a review of this I would keep looking around. Makerfarm.com has some reasonable prices and they have good customer support. I say reasonable because it is cheaper than the Hobby King one with shipping.

My two cents worth...
I'm sure it's been covered here by Patmat and others....3D printing is like a musical instrument. The machine is only a small part of the story. The skill involved in the file generation, slicing and hardware/firmware/material properties settings is a huge part of it. So if you're not a "3D musician", the quality of the machine isn't the key factor.
