1 Month Rental - High Quality SLA's - Mojo

I''m currently considering renting the Mojo 3D printer from Stratasys for ~$1500. As an entrepreneur, with a shoestring budget, I'm looking for the best value. Do you think anyone would rent their printer for $500 for a month (maybe add a security deposit)? I'd like to have the printer so I can make changes on the fly, etc. I'm in Nashville,TN. All help is greatly appreciated.

For $1500 you can buy a nice FDM DIY kit. Or a little more could get you an Ultimaker - probably the closest thing to a turn key solution in the pro-sumer market. A little work can be done to build your own controlled environment build envelope. Even $500 will get you something decent.
Of course there is a learning curve with a pro-sumer/DIY solution. But there is enough help available that just a little technical skill can get you going pretty quickly. Many of the Stratasys machines are heavy. A Dimension weighs about 300 pounds and I believe a UPrint weighs nearly 200. The Mojo looks much more portable but I'm not sure how common they are. Additionally, those who have such machines and use them a lot (they pretty much have to in order to justify buying it) would probably lose a lot more money than $500 by renting it out.
Stay away from Makerbots. They are generally regarded as over priced for the construction and print quality.
All that said, I do have a Stratasys Dimension FDM. While I can't offer personal delivery or pick up of prints. I do have short turn around times. If you are willing to pay for shipping I could probably get prints to you in 2-3 days. At my day job we do have an Objet Eden 350V. I would be happy to assist you in making arrangements for that. Send me a message if any of this is appealing to you or if you would like to talk more. Makexyz does not alert you when new comments are made on a post.

Mojo only weighs 50-60lbs so it's not as heavy as the uPrint.
