Odd, I had the exact opposite experience. That thing is still going strong with next to no maintenance.

Lucky you, I even got a faulty motor in there. Getting a good print was constant tinkering. That's fine for Ender 3 price point, not Prusa prices.

Maybe I was just unlucky, but unlike many people on the internet I simply don't like Prusa printers.

That sucks, I'm sorry you had such a shitty experience. It does seem like they dropped the ball there.

Thanks. I'm a Bambu user now. Might have to come back to Prusa some day because I really dislike what Bambu's doing lately, but so far not a single thing has broken (well, other than things I broke) after two years of use.

I would really like something top level which is not made by Prusa nor Bambu, I guess.
