I have a Prusa MK2 clone that I recently revived with Klipper firmware, a cheapo Kingroon MK3S Pro that I bought to tweak a bit, and have been looking at getting a Bambu Labs or building a Voron - and either of those seems like a better investment than the MK4 if you can build and tweak the printer yourself.
But the key thing is that the Bambu (and other upcoming Core XY printers) are aimed at the non-modding market and seem to be a much better deal overall, so I'm not sure what Prusa is going for here other than leveraging brand traction...
- bittercynic 4y agoI think they appeal to a different crowd. I built a Prusa kit, and enjoyed building it, and enjoy printing with it. I consider it a bit of a hobby product, and wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't interested in learning anything about 3d printing. It works great, but you have to take an interest in it. For the person who just wants a consumer product, I suspect the Bambu might be the best option.
- polishdude20 4y agoHow is the Bambu a better deal? All I'm seeing is a $1500 printer. Is there some other model?
- JofArnold 4y agoBetter deal by some measures, but definitely not part quality. Far from it. My equally-priced VzBot kit has much better quality components in every area right down to the screws. That said, if I put a price on my time I think the X1C would be 1/10th the cost :D
