MK4S

I would personally splurge for the MK4S, the speed and quality is unmatched, and the MK4S is still phenomenal. Also, you have the option to upgrade it to a Core one later down the line. Rather than a mini for $700, you can get the MK4S kit with free shipping for $800 https://www.printedsolid.com/pro

As promised, here is my homing saga from issue 6 above. Apologies for the length. This is somehow the short version... From the very start, the printer had difficulty with the G28 (home all axes) command before each print and with homing calibration itself. It was tolerable at first, but it graduall

About 6-8 years ago, I worked for a print farm running MK3s, and I built 4 or 5 of them for them in that time. Because even though Prusa was offering fully assembled printers, I made a decent wage assembling them and still came out less expensive building the kits. It was also an excellent education

You can sell it, there is probably some customer base with mk3 and mk4 that may consider it for right price. I believe for various reasons enclosure for mk4 was really dead end. The Biggest issue is to volume you have to heat up, location of the printed part on the bottom due to printer construction

As a XL owner, im sad that they did not release a XL+ performance upgrade to fix issues and improve performance. Also I'm a little disappointed that it's so hard to track subtle improvements as there is no obvious revision list. I have tried to track the printable repository for printed parts and up

Upgrade kits are very well documented, and prusa 24/7 support is very helpful for when things go wrong. I like prusa's philosophy a lot as well. I started with a Mk3 and upgraded it to a mk3.5 last year. When indx comes out, I will move my nextrueder over to it and turn it into a mk4S. So I'm still

The two big pro for me are: That Prusa is open source firmware so you aren't beholden to the whims of the company. Bambu tried to lock down their firmware a few months ago but had to partially backtrack due to community outrage. Still it broke integration with third party slicers iirc. Prusa sells u

Doing the maths over here... with the current black friday deal as a comparison; https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-mk4s-3d-printer-kit/ You would have to be a complete fuckhead to buy from Amazon...? Right? Am I missing something...

I have a Prusa MK2 that I can turn on and print like new, if I wanted. It has 28k hours and I've only replaced belts once, and fans due to bearings wearing out. I have three MK3s with more than 15k hours each, one near 20k. Again, only a few fans, one extruder because of my own dumb mistake. My MK4S
