Hello deciding

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

I need validation that I didn’t make a hasty and poor decision

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

I suggest checking the following things: - Check Printers>>Single extruder MM setup>>Extra loading distance and filament parking position and

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

Which 3d Printer should I buy?

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

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 Prusa upgraded the Core One but not the XL?

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

MK3 upgrade kit to MK4S more expensive than entire new MK4S?

Actually imho the best way to ugrade the mk3s+ is using a Prusa Minis Buddyboard and Snake-Firmware from Github. Its called "mk3.3". It miss powerloss Recovery, MMU suport, NFC and crashdetection, but comes with a much lower price. The board itself is about 45€ at Prusa. The display, while about 100

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
