I have no experience with either of the two.

I did however buy a Prusa MK1 ten years ago for 650€. It has since received the MK2 conversion from 3mm to 1.75mm, plus autoleveling. The heatbed needed a new connector at some point, and I’ve enquired about old STLs to replace some parts. It’s still running great to this day, and support has been excellent.

If it ever gives up, I’ll go with another Prusa.

I missed the MK3 part on my first read-through, but yes - the MK3 is still bangarang as-is.

I’m still sporting my original Prusa i3 from 2014, before they had any MK-notations. Must be the first batch actually sold through Prusa Research and not just through his workshops. I’ve dropped the 2.75mm filament and upgraded it to a MK2-style extruder. I’ve also made a rack-and-pinion setup to fold up/down a microtrigger on the extruder itself which I use for mechanical Z-probing.

When you spend most of the day on the porcelain throne you kind of just accept that reality.

I’m writing this on my phone from the toilet.

Before that I was using my 2011 thinkpad x220. Those 2012 MBPs have twice the cores and a usable screen.

It’s a cryogenics lab, so icy.
