From what I've heard (I don't personally have this one), this is a really good one for price and quality. http://wanhaousa.com/collections/3d-printers/products/duplicator-i3-steel-frame

Its gotten good reviews and has 3d files available to print off parts to improve it in areas where it is lacking.

I'll let you know if it's any good, mine arrived today.

I definitely can recommend the Wanhao i3. Been using it now for almost over a year and it's working perfectly without any problems whatsoever.
You can check out my Animatronic Wheatley worklog (signature) to see a few parts I've been printing with it.

At work we're having a Ultimaker 2 Extended+ and I can't see barely any difference between the parts I'm printing at home and those which come off of the bed at work.

Just order that one, their's a lot of mods of improve the quality print, but for 400$, it's your best choise
