Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies?
anguo@piefed.ca 4 weeks agoPrusa printers are also "turn on and print" nowadays, except if you buy it as a build-it-yourself kit. And even that is like a more advanced Lego kit, the instructions are very thorough, with community comments for every step. They're very easy to repair, and you can usually buy upgrade kits to upgrade them to the next version.
I agree that If you don't have a filter system or some way to vent the printers outside, stick to PLA for indoor items, PETG for things that might be in the sun, and potentially TPU for rubbery parts. You don't even need an enclosure for those.
If you have the budget for it, get a Prusa MK4S or Core One. In my opinion, the only reason not to buy a Prusa is the price.

What about the mini? I see that Prusa does get quite expensive quickly with shipping and taxes.

The mini is OK, but starting to be pretty outdated.

Outdated isn’t great. Thanks!
