Is this good for kids (ages 9 to 15)? Any other one you'd recommend above it?

The printer is great for starters of all ages. Just make sure you use a slicer such as Cura as it will be simple enough for starters but can be good for advanced users as well. Just make sure to use only PLA from good companies such as Printrbot or hatch box.

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.

I bought 2 of these for my sons, aged 9 and 13. I had to send one back because my 13 year old hated it. He said it "sucked". My 9 year old, however, really likes it. So for an adult, I'd say buy something else.Hope that helps.

wow, 10-- kids are so computer savvy... my 16-year old is doing pretty advanced 3D animation, so I think that it's possible for a 10year old to learn this if he has patience and the attention span. Someone may have to help him here and there, but you know best if he's a kid that can learn things on his own. I do find that you can Google almost any question and someone somewhere has an answer, so that's helpful. Also, we love Lynda.com, which has tutorials for almost any software for unlimited learning at $35. a month. I don't remember if they have this software but you can go on their site and see. At the very least, if he finds it too hard, he can put it away for a year or two and try it again later-- but if he does well at this at age 10 he's doing great and has a future in this area if he wants it. I do have a background in design and know Adobe suite, so I find this fairly simple to learn but it is time consuming. Hope this is helpful. I will say that it is well worth the price.

I think this is great for that age level!! I think the kids one is too complicated for that age level.

Kids age 4 to 7 will probably enjoy it the most. Older than that, and they might think it too "babyish" for them.

We bought it for our 10 year old grandson. He loved it! 5 years old might be ok, but you would have to set it up and give him some guidance on it.

It's fast...really fast. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 10. Go with something electric for younger kids.

I would say it's ok for kids up to four years old but too small for older kids. It's basically designed for toddlers but the motor is noisy and scares younger kids.

I have a 5 and 9 year old. Both of them thought it was great, but I recommend that you have a sizable sand box for it. It also takes a little time for them to figure it out. In any event, it definitely is worth the purchase for the price and enjoyment.

Yes but it the skill level is low. I would say it would be good for a kid 11 or older.

I purchased this for my four year old. My twelve and nine year old play with him as does my two year old :) I would say it's best for 3-5 year olds.

I'd say awesome for a youth for the money. My son is 7 turning 8 this year. I don't know of a better one for the money, if you find it, let me know.

My daughter is 12 and absolutely loves it. I think it is good for up to pre-teens. Teenagers would enjoy it for a time, but would probably lose interest after awhile.

My daughter saved up for this and bought it at age 6, and it was just fine for her. She's 7 now and still uses it! Hope this helps.

I'd say that it's good for a child 7 yrs and up. My son is 8 and has been playing it for a while.
