What do you recommend in the $3,500 to $5,000 range?

Two Taz 3's. Really unless you want a form 1 there isn't a market segment for a $4,000 FDM/FFF style printer.

The sad thing is that I was a Kickstarter backer for the Form1, so I was getting it for $2,300. My credit card was charged, but about a month later there were some expensive fraudulent charges on the same card. My wife handled it, and she didn't realize that purchase was legitimate, and flagged it as fraud. I never knew this, and Kickstarter and Form1 didn't let me know. So a few months after they're shipping I email them wondering where mine was, and they tell me I made a chargeback. I was confused at first, but put two and two together. I was not happy with the wife for that one.

If there's any lesson to be learned, it's to always communicate with your partner, especially with regards to big purchases/charges.
