The prusa MK3 has out sold every other printer model, how many issues to we see here from Prusa owners. One or two total. It speaks for its self. Reliability is not cheap. The plans are available for the MK3s price it with the same high end components your self. I have I can’t beat Prusa price. If you can’t source the parts for less is it expensive?
I wouldn’t want to bet money on which printer sold more, Prussa MK 3 or the Ender 3 Series. Not saying the Prussa printer are not quality but the price is what created Creality and the other Chinese printers. For most people it is a case of go Asia or don’t print. An unfortunate reality.
