Hey all,

I'm planning on upgrading my Ender 3 V2 with a new printer, and I'm not sure which printer to choose.

SV08 has a massive build area, which I really like because of the size of my personal projects. And Klipper is a plus I guess? Never tried this firmware before.

On the other hand Prusa is well tested and known, also its multicolor extension is alluring to me.

Can you share your experiences if you used them before to help me choose? Thanks!

I have a Prusa MK4 and i really like it. Even though you would get better quality prints with the same amount of money else where, its just good enough for my needs. And i love having the peace of mind that the owner behind it really likes open source. I do not have the feeling that i get features stripped away from me or some other corpo bullshit ruining my day. Use it since 2.5 years (~5 prints/month) now never had to fix anything.
