I wanted the Cadillac of desktop printers#

The Prusa was my second printer purchased overall but might be my best purchase of the 3 (was 4) FDM printers I started with.

It has had far less issues than the others, overall, it is faster than the Creality printers I have so far (Ender 3 V2 * 2), and capable of 0.05mm layer heights.

The printer can be purchased as a kit for $749 or assembled and calibrated for $999. That $250 spend can save you a lot of hours if this is your first printer as the assembly will take 16-24 hours of your time.
