    If you have an interest in a Prusa i3 MK3 I could work you out a great deal on a fully dialed in new last month unit with 5 hours on it. Sticking with my Raise3D Pro units as a production type model. Prusa is nice but more for tinkering. Like an advanced Lego set in my opinion. Let me know.

    Quoted from HHaase:

    I'm actually running a pair of Prusa's right now. One Mk3 and a Mk3s been super happy with them. Leagues better than my old Rostock Max V2. Plans are to add the MMU2S to the older Mk3 at some point.
    If I had any extra scratch right now I'd be asking how much you want for that one. But at the moment I just can't afford another unit.

    Let me know anytime. It really is a nice machine with a deep cult following just not really made for a production environment in my view. For making one part runs a great option. They did Amazing with the marketing no doubt just wish for the price they would have invested in some technology and interface. Having to heat the print bed each run just seems goofy to me. And god for bid you get a clog and you need to fully disassemble the entire machine to get it back online. Haven't honestly figured out what the hype is on this model but for the right user I am sure they will love it!

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    What? You only have to unscrew the extruder tip, heat and push the clogged material through, then unload the filament, clear the tip, and re-attach it. Takes like 2 minutes, tops. I've had one clog in a year across 3 MK3 and MK3S machines, and zero since upgrading to a hardened extruder tip (the "ultimate" one).

    Fair enough I’m just spoiled by the high end units that make every task simple and effortless. Just depends what your planning to use it for I guess. As I do a lot of ABS and Nylon this just didn’t work out for my needs.

    A different level:
