I really like the open nature of Prusa. I won’t tolerate a printer that requires a propriety web service to use like Bambu. I have a Prusa Mini, MK3S, and now the XL, and I am happy about how easy they are to operate and maintain. Every printer is a winner and only gets better with every release. I’m a customer for life.

That said, the cost is a little higher than I’d like and the technology is often a little behind (a bit like my Apple products) but the reliability is so good that it’s completely worth it.

I’ve always pronounced it Linux. Who pronounces it another way?

Since my phone is water resistant, I put a magnetic mount in the shower to listen to music, podcasts, and the occasional Teams meeting if I’m running late.

You’re not qualified to have an opinion on TDD — ThePrimeagen

It appears you haven’t used chat gpt for coding help.

Realistically it is going to be one of two options and I doubt your oven goes to 300c. You can probably figure it out yourself.

For me, it’s not great. The web interface and apps I’ve used are kind of bad, there isn’t a lot of content in the topics I’m interested in. I’m mainly here because I refuse to go back to Reddit.

The Prusa mini gantry is solid. I have been printing on one for 2+ years and will vouch 100% that it’s extremely well built. The 20mm you’re missing is seriously not the issue you think it is. It is rare that I ever go to one of my larger printers with the Mini being such a reliable workhorse. (workpony?)

~~Prusa XL, 5 tool version~~

Oops I thought you wrote sub $5000.

I recommend the Bambu Lab A1 Mini. With or without the AMS. It’s a great size to get back into printing. I have the Prusa Mini and 180mm^3 is really all I need for most of my prints.

“Some” is the operative word. Those who do are usually seen as idiots.

  • dry the filament - most filament is wet even if it is brand new
  • calibrate flow rate
  • calibrate first layer (nozzle height)

I rarely deviate from Prusa Slicer’s built in profile for Prusament and have great results. I would try drying the filament first if everything else is working well.
