From what I’ve heard, Prusa mks3 is the golden child of 3d printing. Fresh out of the box perfect prints. I should kept mine but instead opted for CR10s pro and that’s been great as well though I went through some tough learning curves

Ive owned a CR-10 S5, an Ender 3, and a prusa i3 mk3s. Of the three, the prusa is by far my favorite. It is so amazing to be able to push a button and watch it work, no dicking around with anything.
I would say that if 3d printing (and specifically working on printers and tuning) is your hobby, then an ender 3 is a better value. But if you just want something that works when you push the go button, the Prusa is well worth the money.

I totally second that. I assembled mine and it worked straight away. I was actually really surprised by that since the assembly is far from trivial. It took me about a day to do it but the assembly instructions are very well written and easy to follow. Plus, it comes with a pack of haribo bears that you get to treat your self with after completing each part of the assembly. The assembly instructions make it clear that this is mandatory.

Which one?
I bought mine assembled because I had had it up to here with working on 3d printers 
Basically the whole reason I bought it is that I realized that I dont like 3d printing as a hobby. I think that 3d printing hobbyists, as a general rule, enjoy thw tuning and tinkering and whatnot that comes with keeping their machine running.
I realized that’s not for me haha
I use my 3d printer as a tool, and the same way that I dont want to have to fiddle and tinker with my hand drill to get a good hole in a piece of wood, i dont want to have to tinker with my 3d printer to get a good print.
The Prusa has (mostly) lived up to my expectations in that regard.

I recently got a sidewinder x1 V4(2020) purchased by work, for work but it’s gonna sit in my home untill the covid stuff is over. I wanted a printer that prints well right out of the box and bigger than my ender 3. Since work paid for it, I didn’t care that it was $420.
If I didn’t care about having a functional work printer right away, I would have purchased a https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/twotrees-sapphire-plus-3d-printer made it all metal direct drive

I cant even be fucking bothered to level my print bed after owning this prusa
Great info guys… In Serbia there are only assembled units for 850e… I’ll sell my ender 3 for 150-200e so I think 650e is worth all the benefits of prusa

I have the sidewinder printer. Prints ok out of the box. To get great prints, you need to update the firmware so that you can activate linear advance.

Hi, I’m looking for a VX1 remote case, because by experience I found out it is quite easy to brake a relatively expensive piece of equipment…
I couldn’t find anything on thingiverse, only found these ones or sale here:
Do you know if they are any good?
No clue personally but they’re made of tpu… That’s an interesting choice for a remote shell as it’s flexible. I imagine landing on it would offer very little protection to the insides.
@xsynatic was working on a remodel I believe
