What IS your preference? It's not a Prusa, but you don't mention any particular others.

I have only owned two different printers, a Monoprice Maker Select and a Prusa MK3S. The Prusa cost me more than double, and it really doesn't produce any nicer prints. I still find it worth the extra cost. Loading filament is much easier, I love the flex bed, and I haven't had to adjust the bed height in over a year.

On the downside, I've had to fix the wires to the heater element twice because the constant motion has broken them.

The Raise3D machine does look very impressive. Unfortunately, I don't print enough to make one worth it for me.

When you say "With the amazing machines in its price range with part displays, auto heating, enclosures, simple head rebuilds, this just seemed Very expensive for what it was.", what would you suggest? It seems that you have much more experience than I do, and I'd really like to hear what you think is a better printer for the money.

I guess maybe I use it more than I thought.
