Re: Are you happy with your MK3?

After playing around with the MK3 for a few weeks i can say yes i am. A lot of my gripes with the old Robo don't really exist with the prusa. a little earlier i put them both working on one part of a two part print job. the robo did a layer which promptly broke from the bed and stuck the the nozzle and tried to do the dreaded blob. over an hour and a half and the prusa is still running strong. The MK3 has made printing fun again. only issue is what to do with the robo... Maybe make a fancy desk lamp out of it?? lol..

Convert it into a cute little laser engraver? 😉

Re: Are you happy with your MK3?

I've had the MK3 for a few months now. I was quite satisfied in the beginning, and I still kind of am. However I've had way too many issues recently, such as false errors with the filament sensor, extremely visible and shifted layer lines (yes, i did mess with S3D settings and use a sturdy), first layer not sticking to bed even after cleansing with alcohol and optimal first layer height, filament not extruding when it's 1 degree lower than 190, ugh. It's a good machine, but it seems like an Ultimaker is what would suit me the best.

Obviously I'm not good with machines or 3D printing at all. I'm a newbie, don't blame me for amateur mistakes :p

That could be an option actually.
