Holdays/Black Friday - What is your next printer purchase? Why

As the holidays are quickly approaching, I'm wondering which Prusa printer to purchase. I currently own Minis. What is going to be on sale to make way for any potential new printer(s)? I'm torn on what to do. Buy now or wait and see what happens over the next 6 to 8 week.... Thoughts? Let me hear your suggestions.

xl

I would prefer a Prusa XL, but they may not be available.  If that is the case, I will wait.

For me it's about what comes next, I was extremely disappointed with he mini, even understanding why they produced it, it wasn't for me.

I was looking for a bigger Printing platform with larger capacity, if they can't produce the XL with similar quality to the mk3 then its over, Ill be moving forward with another large format printer.

Sad to me but you have to know when to say when, Prusa has a good deal of my money in the form of multiple printers and extra parts for repairs to my MK3's if they cant come through, or choose not to come through and go the corporate route meaning (commercial) I will jump off the band wagon so fast it will make their heads spin, I have spent a great deal of my personal time and money helping them and the people that support them, and I have learned from my Maker-bot experience.

 

Good Luck to all

Mk3 Upgrade for me

I've got a MK3 on the way - so my next stuff will be the parts to upgrade it to MK3S or 3S+ if that route is advantageous.  Thoughts?

Nothing for a while

I have the Mk3S+. I need to build a Lack enclosure for it, assemble and install the MMU2S and then get to printing my Napoleonic era hordes. I also have the parts for the Voron 0.1 showing up sometime real soon. If I came into some mad money, I'd probably get either the SL1s bundle or another Mk3S+. But for now, I have too many projects and too little time.

SL1S is my hope and dream

Hoping that there is a solid deal on SL1S as I want to add a good resin printer to my stable of printers and then eventually a Prusa XL to retire my MK2.5S+.
