My first printer was Prusa MINI and it sucked so much. Something constantly stuck or broken.
And when they went closed source, they lost all my support.
Odd, I had the exact opposite experience. That thing is still going strong with next to no maintenance.
Lucky you, I even got a faulty motor in there. Getting a good print was constant tinkering. That's fine for Ender 3 price point, not Prusa prices.
Maybe I was just unlucky, but unlike many people on the internet I simply don't like Prusa printers.
That sucks, I'm sorry you had such a shitty experience. It does seem like they dropped the ball there.
Thanks. I'm a Bambu user now. Might have to come back to Prusa some day because I really dislike what Bambu's doing lately, but so far not a single thing has broken (well, other than things I broke) after two years of use.
I would really like something top level which is not made by Prusa nor Bambu, I guess.
I don't know what was wrong with your printer but the support should have figured it out and given you spare parts to fix it.
They didn't, apart from when the motor got broken which they send me a replacement for.
