Friends Seminary's math department owns a Makergear M2 printer and I use that, with Simplify3D software. We also have an Ultimaker used by our MS Math teachers, which has worked well for them but has a bit smaller of a print bed. Our tech department uses two Makerbot Rep2's which have been a bit of a disappointment in terms of working consistently.
