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

If you haven't found it already, there are assembly instructions for the MK4S here. (make sure to double check you have the right model). Prusa's assembly instructions are always very good and very detailed. They are also paginated, so you can pick up where you left off pretty easily. Each page also

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

Prusa is best at not treating their customers as enemies/adversaries, and their printers are pretty good too. They're a little outside your price range (eg: MK4S kit is €719), but I encourage you to consider it. Buying a second, good printer because you bought a cheap, crummy first printer is even m

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
