    My first printer was Prusa MINI and it sucked so much. Something constantly stuck or broken.

    And when they went closed source, they lost all my support.

      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.

      I don’t know what was wrong with your printer but the support should have figured it out and given you spare parts to fix it.
