My prusa just works. Haven’t done anything to it in years other than change the nozzle. Zero failed prints.

But, but, but... The Prusa is SO EXPENSIVE cause it's made with not slave labor!

And they slightly changed their open source licensing system to try to prevent Chinese cloans from duplicating their work for free!

And... It takes a few more days to ship since it's not coming on the same barge as the rest of the Alibaba slop!

/s (my only printer is a Prusa)

My Prusa pretty much works. I've had a couple feed problems. I've had to revert the firmware twice because 6.4 and later just don't work well. Prusa is stretching themselves thin and it shows.

Haven’t personally touched the firmware in years now. It works, I don’t need any new features personally. Can’t comment on the quality of new fws.
