I am sorry for all the people having problems, but my Prusa mjni is finally just workjng and happily printing all the stuff I throw at it. Its been having issues here and there forever. I just figured out that the hotend has not been assembled correctly (heatbreaker to nozzle seal was weak) which became a greater issue when switching to a 0.25mm nozzle. Now after I fixed it, it is just awesome :)

    I do, and it’s one of the reasons I bought a Bambu (pre-lockdown shit of course). Despite not having many hours, the prusa mk3’s my college had in their makerspace were CONSTANTLY having issues and were a lot harder to get successful prints off of. I got an x1c when i got real money after graduating and it’s given me 1200 hours of zero maintenance except grease and a couple belt tension resets.

      I suspect the Prusa issues were because you had a bunch of people not taking care of the machines. My Prusa Mk3S was just as reliable as my Bambu P1S.

      I must admit I love my P1S. It makes me torn, I don’t like the locked down nature of the firmware and slicer, but at the same time, their stuff is damn good for its price.
