The knockoffs are great though and they offered many things years ahead of prusa (32 bit controllers with wifi, bed leveling, ...).
Prusas product cycle is slow which prevents them from keeping up with the competition. Now they have an answer to the latest an greatest versions of their knockoffs like ender s1 pros, but by the time Prusa is ready for their next refresh the market will be dominated by fast and cheap knockoffs of the bambulabs. I believe prusa is not winning this.
- tjoff 4y agoPrusa was the first proper printer with bed levelling in its class? 32 bit isn't really a feature in this context. Wifi, sure. Not for me but I get that some would want it. Not sure what keeping up means here, prusa is killing it and it felt like their sales was reflecting that too. But prusa might not agree. I've looked at the competition and the only printer I'd consider over mk4 is a voron. But I don't want to spend that time on sourcing parts etc. And it would be understandable if the voron built with the tradeoffs for any one individual is going to have it's own type of quirks. I'd rather spend time on designing and using my parts than on the printer. Wasn't always the case though! There was a time where a voron would be ideal for me.
