Pros
- if you are interested in the 3d printer as a tool to enjoy other hobbies, a prusa is an amazing printer, it's not as fast as other options for the same price, but will give you an amazing print result, with an outstanding reliability.
- There’s Prusa and me and my dad are considering it as the second 3d printer, I’ll also get one myself
- Prusa released six major things just in the last month: new hardware, new firmware, new materials, open source improvements… it’s more activity than most brands push out in half a year. He’s still one of the most recognized names in 3D p...
- I have a Prusa and I can get a live person 24/7. Not in China/India outsourced either right in Prague.
- I would have 1000% gone with Prusa again who I have had a fantastic time dealing with.
Cons
- So, mmu3 works, but mmu2 gives us shit.... alright prusa... fine... that's one minus for you!
- Orca is based on Prusa.
- I wasn't getting satisfactory results with my prusa with a .4 nozzle.
- Every brand has released bad printers day 1, Elegoo has had their fair share, Ender definitely has, as did Prusa.
- Prusa is easy to use and reliable, but also more expensive.

Prusa released six major things just in the last month: new hardware, new firmware, new materials, open source improvements… it’s more activity than most brands push out in half a year. He’s still one of the most recognized names in 3D printing, and unlike many “black-box” printers, Prusa keeps things open, repairable, upgradable and transparent.
Orca is based on Prusa.
I have a Prusa and I can get a live person 24/7. Not in China/India outsourced either right in Prague.
I would have 1000% gone with Prusa again who I have had a fantastic time dealing with.
I wasn't getting satisfactory results with my prusa with a .4 nozzle.
Personally, I would fix the Prusa, it seems like a fun project. They are also known to be really good printers.
Every single Prusa release is a little rocky, but it's rarely build or design related and is ironed out with firmware updates. They don't leave people hanging.
