Yes, the upgrades are really not cheap and also cause problems with each other. With the Enclosure + MMU3, the bracket supplied for the buffer plates does not fit into the enclosure. When upgrading from the mk4 to the mk4s, the LCD holder no longer fits at the front of the enclosure and other small things like that, which are quite annoying.

Before I bought the MK4, I also thought long and hard about the brand, especially as only OSS brands came into question for me. I quickly decided on Prusa and then had to think about which one (resin was out of the question because of my cats). I initially had my eye on the HT90 and the xl with 5 extruders before deciding on the mk4. Regarding the price, however,
I said to myself from the start “I don’t care, I’m supporting other future oss developments” and the fact that it is produced in a neighboring country was also a point in its favor. I only went for the mk4 because I thought I would have too many problems with the xl or even the ht90 as a first 3d printer.

Oh yes, the enclosure itself also causes problems because you have to place a plate under the enclosure and under the printer. So that the printer does not start to amplify its own vibrations with the sheet metal of the enclosure but stands on a stable base.

But damn im so hapoy with my choices

Troubleshooting after upgrading from mk4 mmu3 to mk4s mmu3 took well over a week despite help from the Prusa forum and support and in that time I had disassembled and reassembled it several times. In the end it was quite trivial and with the help of additional tools (screw clamp to firmly fix the stepper motor of the y-axis for mounting) quickly fixed. Knowing the localization and the interaction of everything with each other would have helped me a lot and certainly saved time. But I don’t even want to deny that you have to be prepared for several hours and several hours of frustration. Instead, you have to follow the planned and most important steps with the exact number of haribo gummy bears and place them correctly on your tongue and get to the process of enjoying them as quickly as possible. If you also opt for a prebuilt, you could also use the core one

I can only advise every first-time buyer not to choose a prebuilt but to assemble it themselves in order to learn everything directly and gain experience.
I bought the mk4 prebuild as my first 3d printer with enclodure and it worked wonderfully. Except for problems at the beginning due to wet filament etc. but it’s not due to the printer itself. Then I installed the MMU3 later when it was available.
After that I had slight problems,
especially first layer problems, which I was able to fix. then the release of the mk4s so I ordered and installed the upgrade. Initially had massive problems which I would not have had if I had assembled the printer myself and had experience.
The troubleshooting was unnecessarily time-consuming as I had practically disassembled and reassembled the printer but was still successful. At some point (after several successful start-ups and printers) I started up the printer and wanted to print something. Since it had always run smoothly before and never had any really bad problems,
I sat at the PC with headphones on until I looked at the printer and saw that it wanted to become a CNC. Printing plate damaged but still usable, nozzle damaged but could be repaired, heater and thermistor destroyed.
The support was very cooperative but of course I got the heater and thermistor replaced as they are not wearing parts.
I am still extremely happy and can only warmly recommend prusa

The problem is people’s stinginess. They want to save money and buy from China. The manufacturers help themselves to the OSS community but do not contribute anything - on the contrary, the manufacturers undercut the OSS alternatives enormously. They have no development costs or anything else to compensate. So that the OSS solutions do not finance the development for other companies and push themselves out of the market, the only option is to lock it in. It’s the people who want to get into an expensive hobby on the cheap.

Edit: example about developing stats.

PrusaSlicer

PrusaSlicer is our own open-source in-house developed slicer software. The PrusaSlicer team consists of 13 full time developers. As of January 2024, we spent a total of 145,720 work hours developing PrusaSlicer (that’s over 16 years of non-stop work by one developer). While only about 10% of the original code remains, we are still extremely proud that PrusaSlicer is originally based on the open-source project Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci. Each of the source files has a short header with the list of all contributors. We believe this is the right way to acknowledge whose shoulders we’re standing upon.

PrusaSlicer is a completely free, feature-rich, frequently updated tool that contains everything you need to export the perfect G-code for your 3D printer. Today, the PrusaSlicer code powers most slicers on the market.

You lucky nexus owner. I wish GrapheneOS could be flashed on more smartphones. Yeah so that definitely reads like the feature that bouncer provides and if that’s anchored at the system level the Graphene solution is guaranteed to be better too. Either way, it offers a lot of good functions that you can’t simply make available on another Android via root.

Edit: I also forgot that Bouncer needs root to be fully functional.

Maybe bouncer is something for you

Android and ios use completely different methods. For example, they listen to frequencies that are inaudible to us and, for example, TV advertising plays an inaudible sound as a trigger for Android/IOs in addition to the audible sound. To impose targeted advertising in order to allocate devices even without a network, etc. They wouldn’t actually need backdoors as they get more than enough information as it is. But I don’t want to imply that I don’t expect backdoors there, because this has been proven in any case and often enough.

So i think 29 undocumented commands are far too many for a mistake…

Not good in theory either. Just think of the broken UEFI and how everyone has to chase MS to get distributions signed and bootable with secureboot. One can only hope that in October many authorities and private individuals worldwide will say fuck ms.

Again MS signed drivers? Lol

It’s just a rat’s tail like so many other things.

I miss opera with own engine

Yes ok my mistake, despite * I am of course not talking about files with e.g. .css extension but only the browsers with chrome* as name. :)

Well dont use chrom*

I just say glibc

Arch was my first choice precisely because of the learning curve. As soon as nothing works with the other distros the user is completely overwhelmed because just like on Windows he is kept stupid and away from bash etc…

No, with every other “used” friendly distro I had such massive problems… and their wikis and other help end at the arch wiki anyway.

Reason is as example bambu. Prusa and the other open source player’s doing the development and off has the development cost. So now there the closed source manufacturer which picking their printer from the open source work. Has no development cost… its not sharing anything for the open source community and ofc can sell their printers for so much lower. This destroys the open source community

Thihi and sooner or later they all end up at the arch linux wikis.

Well, it wasn’t a spectacle frame and was a bit more robust and rigid. After printing and as soon as it goes on the nose, it is permanently exposed to UV radiation and external influences.
