Looks impressive! I really like my MK4S (with enclosure), but by the time the Core ONE ships maybe I'll be tired of it or need an additional printer. They say it's not a replacement for the MK4S, but I'm not sure why anyone would opt for the MK4S when this is available. My MK3 still works fine...use it for printing PLA. The MK4S is used for printing ASA and TPU.

Neal, are you printing much these days?

Neal, are you printing much these days?

Sadly no, I used to print non stop but when I started fighting with the MMU2, now MMU3 is better, it took the wind out of my sails I think. Just need some ideas. Last time I printed I had to fight something again on the printer, can't remember what, but it ended up printing fine. Sometimes the battles with these printers can be tough. It does what I need so I don't see getting a MK4S or the new core one. I did look at Bamboo as my friend has one but I still think Prusa prints higher quality from what I've seen. I do enjoy the design process as that's what my degree was in (Mechanical Engineering) but just need something to print. The airplane part I had manufactured actually nearly sold out the quantity I ordered so that was cool. Definitely opportunity to make some money off it.

How about you?

I've been struggling with my Prusa M3KS+ of late, worst decision ever was going with the MMU (multi-color mod). Anyways, just haven't been able to get a good print or one to complete, much less with any decent quality. I figured it's due to my ancient filaments so I tried a filament dryer. Good to have, but it didn't help. Replaced nozzle, didn't help. So it's either throw this out the 3rd floor window and buy a new one, or, okay, one last effort, I'll replace the hot end. I did this not long ago I believe but something isn't right. As I had another in my drawer I went ahead and replaced it, voila, beautiful print in progress once again!

While all of that was said I decided to go to my original first born 3D printer, my FlashForge Creator Pro @Chuggs trained me on getting me into 3D printing. It is amazing how wonderful this printer prints, it certainly does better with FLEX (TPU) than the Prusa via MMU3. Absolutely perfect print of a TPU holder for an insta360 gps remote holder I need for my plane that controls my insta360 cameras. Great to use the ole FlashForge again, the sounds it makes are nostalgic
