For what it’s worth, I’ve read this is the ‘gold standard’ for home FDM printers, and I have to say that seems accurate. This thing was dialed right out of the box. I got the pre-assembled because I’ve built a RP machine before and it wasn’t terribly exciting. That, and I’m a baller.
And then I got some rainbow filament:
And THEN I done went and got crazy with the rainbows…
The biggun was a ~24hr print, and it went perfect for the first 16hrs, then the Prusa had some random ‘crash detections’ even though it didn’t crash, and it had a layer shift, confined to a single layer. So gold standard as it is, it’s not perfect. But still waaaaaaay better than the Rostock v2 Max I built.
These things, especially w/ fast-change rainbow/silk-like filament, is shiny and sparkles like a dang sparkly thing! Awesomer than hail baby!
