Is there future of the Original Prusa MK4/S Enclosure a dead end?

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

What’s your go to 3d printer brand? And printer that you have used and have barley any complains about

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

Why I am disappointed of the Core One

I've had a Core One upgraded from MK4s for 4 months. The only problems from your list I've experienced are the gantry squaring, and prior to the fixes Prusa made there were minor VFAs in some prints, now gone. There's definitely an assembly problem if your nextruder main plate wore out in 2 months.

Core 1 finally arrived. Some initial impressions.

This just tells me you haven't used a Prusa with Prusaslicer. Here is an image of woodfill PLA printed on a fully calibrated Bambu X1E vs a Prusa XL with zero calibration aside from the original setup. Prusa on the right. Here is an X1C vs a Prusa MK4 using bambu woodfill PLA.. The Bambu on the left

What printer?

You summarize why I went with a Bambu printer and not a Prusa. I need a bigger printer. If Prusa had released their L sooner instead of the Core one, maybe I would have took that route. But then, with what Bambu is offering, and even Qidi, I don't feel like Prusa is there anymore. For absolute fabs,

MK3.5 or MK3.9, my dilemma...

I actually have 5 mk3s+. Upgrading all of them to mk4, mk4s or later to Core One would put a big hole in my pocket. So I just upgraded two of the mk3s+ to mk4, both to mk4s afterward and one to CoreOne two weeks ago. However, I upgraded only two mk3s I had in stock configuration. Two of the other mk

Let's talk about quality control for Prusa kits

I assembled my first MK3 following a YouTube guide instead of the prusa manual - and he recommended to soak all the linear bearings in IPA, wipe them out, and repack them with your own grease using a printed applicator. It is a practice I carried over when building the MK4S kit. I do wish that the b

3D Printer Recommendations UK

When you say fix or flash yourself, are you looking for open source compatibility top to bottom, or are you looking for something where you don't have to ship it back for repairs? That level of involvement/modifiability is a wide and varying scale across brands and models. Bambu and some other brand

DIY 3D Printer

A secure way with granted success at the end of the process would be buying a Prusa Mk4s+ Kit and assemble it. The build manuals offline and online are awesome i have no doubt that you will success. Not the cheapest but you need no printer to build one. After the build you have a workhorse printer a
