Lets start from the top.A. To anyone who bought this and complained about putting it together, just don't. This was a fun kit to build. It was like getting a leggo kit for a 12 year old and I giggled reading the instruction manual. Don't worry, I won't spoil the fun for anyone new buying but you definitely will smile.B. Probably the single most reliable printer I've ever owned. Scratch that... Definitely the most reliable printer I've ever owned. I've been using this for a month and done very little in the way of upgrades outside of a new nozzle and build plate. Only print fails I've had have been due to slicer/user errror issues. And even those were easy to fix once I figured out what I did wrong.C. Full metal hotend with a nozzle upgrade is *Chefs Kiss*. Can print most anything your heart desires and reliably too!D. Auto Bed levelling. Some people say its trash but they're wrong as can be. You can change the autobed levelling to 7 points which makes a huge array of points levelled by the PINDA sensor and honestly I've never had a base layer issue that wasn't caused by me. Just calibrate, change the offset to where it needs to be with the twist of a knob and BAM, calibrated for good.D. No it's not a BAMBU labs print speed but it does have a stealth mode which is super nice for those of us that have limited space and need this printer in a spot where people exist. It's way quieter than any other FDM printer I own cuz of a single switch in settings.E. Upgradeable. It's July 2023 which means prusa's MMU3 is about to drop and even if that weren't my next upgrade, I'd still be able to upgrade any other part of this printer with kits online. Why? Cuz I built it and the kits are easy to find.F. Just buy it.

Never had a 3D printer before, so if you're looking for a super technical review then I won't be able to help.But... For a first time user, it really wasn't bad to build, about 10 hours in total. Instructions are good. Tools that come with it are not. Having the proper tools would have saved me a ton of time. Then after initial calibration... It's basically been running non-stop (Literally). Running just fine with PLA (Haven't tested other materials yet), overall no complaints. A few failed prints but I'm willing to bet that's more me not knowing the limits of a 3D printer than actual faults of the printer (Who knew you couldn't print plastic on thin air and expect it to stay there?)The display is... Dated to say the least (Looks like a LCD display from 20 years ago) but that's not a big deal. And considering that's the biggest gripe I have with the printer... Very happy with it overall. Although the display is dated, Prusa's slicing software is not... And even for a complete novice like me it's really easy to use and tweak. And the auto bed leveling is so nice, did one calibration when setting it up and it's been printing fine without any tweaking ever since.And the best part is... Down the line if part of the printer breaks... Most of it you can just 3D print, and Prusa will give you the gcode to do it. So you can literally have spares of every (plastic) part just sitting around in a box somewhere and it'd cost you next to nothing. And most of it... Is plastic.

Honestly I run a print farm with cheaper printers and end up spending so much time tinkering and fixing parts all day. I'd rather spend that time modeling or focusing on the business side instead of printers all the time. Everywhere you look everyone recommends these printers I've wanted to order them but couldn't really find it reasonable to wait 2-3 months for them. I finally noticed them here on Amazon and just thought it was another reseller so I hesitated. I ended up buying and contacting Prusa support through live chat and they assured me these are covered with their warranty and are directly sent to Amazon by them. I don't know about other listings but I know this one for sure is covered. I was able to register my printer serial number on the Prusa website. So if you ever have any problems as I saw a review here the guy said he had problems, you could get live support to help you fix it. It seems he attempted multiple things himself without actually getting the advice from Prusa.The printer works great and I don't really have to sit there and watch it or be worried about it not finishing a job. Assembly took longer than expected for me and putting the nuts through the printed parts was overall the most tedious part. I think these printers are worth $700 but $900 + tax for you to also assemble is quite a lot. I think it's only reasonable for me because I run a business and the money I'll save will end up paying for the printers in the long run. The time wait of 3 days on Amazon as well opposed to 2-3 months is also a big plus for a business.Overall I'd recommend this printer mostly for business. I think as a hobby printer it'll be nice but not worth the price on Amazon. I'd rather mess around with other printers and try out cool upgrades and mods if I'm doing it as a hobby.

Assembly took over 20 hours and it was an exhausting nerve-wracking experience. Every bolt presented another challenge. I broke 2 plastic parts during assembly, and customer service was very helpful and responsive through their chat system. I lost one spacer, and although there were many spare nuts and bolts - I had to make a fake spacer out of washers and superglue.After assembly, I plugged it in and nothing happened. Customer service had me open the power supply to check the fuse - and I found the power wires weren't connected properly, an easy fix.Setup and final adjustments went quickly. It is now printing most of the time, and turning into a true workhorse.It is the printer to have if you want to print something.
