Isn’t prusa the company that did a 180 this year and started to enshitify their firmware? I remember some open source 3d printer co deciding to fuck over their fan bases good will this year and I thought it was them?
Comment on Sovol SV08 or Prusa MK4S

If you are willing to spend the money, I would highly recommend a Prusa. The quality of service and support alone is worth the extra money. If the cost of a Prusa bothers you, I would point you at Qidi as a more budget friendly brand. If I was starting over and looking to buy my first printer, I would be looking at the Core One or the Qidi Plus 4. And Qidi is set to release their own AMS called the Qidi box for the Plus 4 here shortly.

Yeah, they have taken some things proprietary with software and hardware. This was done in response to Chinese manufacturers, and yes Bambu in particular, taking the proprietary pathway and not giving new ideas back to the open source community.
Now, Bambu making proprietary products is well within their right. But that makes life harder for a true open source manufacturer to make enough money to stay in business. So it ain’t taking 20/10 vision to read the writing on the wall if Prusa intends to stay in business. So there is a real need to protect themselves.

Klipper is a game changer for speed and print quality once you get past the intial setup learning curve - it basically gave my old ender a new life before I upgraded.
