  • Now I have skipped through the video. Nice on eBay next to auction already times a fixed amount to choose from, that should already make skeptical. Then also color deviations from the prototypes shown. But above all, only pictures of the visuals. No device switched on and no display of hardware information. We live in a time where all hardware is also counterfeited and, in addition to the bad counterfeits, good quality counterfeits also appear and even manufacturers demand to recognize the counterfeits.

    So something as extremely simple as a case is really no problem at all, even if it is of the same quality.

    So as long as no information is provided by the seller to verify it, I wouldn’t give a damn.














  • Yes, the upgrades are really not cheap and also cause problems with each other. With the Enclosure + MMU3, the bracket supplied for the buffer plates does not fit into the enclosure. When upgrading from the mk4 to the mk4s, the LCD holder no longer fits at the front of the enclosure and other small things like that, which are quite annoying.

    Before I bought the MK4, I also thought long and hard about the brand, especially as only OSS brands came into question for me. I quickly decided on Prusa and then had to think about which one (resin was out of the question because of my cats). I initially had my eye on the HT90 and the xl with 5 extruders before deciding on the mk4. Regarding the price, however,
    I said to myself from the start “I don’t care, I’m supporting other future oss developments” and the fact that it is produced in a neighboring country was also a point in its favor. I only went for the mk4 because I thought I would have too many problems with the xl or even the ht90 as a first 3d printer.

    Oh yes, the enclosure itself also causes problems because you have to place a plate under the enclosure and under the printer. So that the printer does not start to amplify its own vibrations with the sheet metal of the enclosure but stands on a stable base.

    But damn im so hapoy with my choices


  • Troubleshooting after upgrading from mk4 mmu3 to mk4s mmu3 took well over a week despite help from the Prusa forum and support and in that time I had disassembled and reassembled it several times. In the end it was quite trivial and with the help of additional tools (screw clamp to firmly fix the stepper motor of the y-axis for mounting) quickly fixed. Knowing the localization and the interaction of everything with each other would have helped me a lot and certainly saved time. But I don’t even want to deny that you have to be prepared for several hours and several hours of frustration. Instead, you have to follow the planned and most important steps with the exact number of haribo gummy bears and place them correctly on your tongue and get to the process of enjoying them as quickly as possible. If you also opt for a prebuilt, you could also use the core one
