Is 5 cents a gram cheap, and is makerbot replicator 2 a good printer?

It depends what you're planning on doing, really.

It looks good, though the finest detail is 100 microns, where as the Form 1 can go down to 10 microns. Depends if you want superfine detail or not.

well my public library just purchased one. For what I have no clue. I have been looking to play around with this method of building, so I was curious about cost wise. I'm mainly looking to make helmets and small intricate parts for weapons.

makerbots are not good printers.
source: I used to work there. read reviews on the makerbot users group online too. it's full of people who are unhappy. there are many other options which are cheaper and better.
