X-Max 3 gang! I have one of those too. I’m only mildly annoyed that they didn’t extend support for their filament changer to it, but that didn’t exist at the time I bought mine so it’s not like I was expecting in-machine multimaterial support anyhow.

I have had to replace the heat bed in mine when the thermistor in it failed, and that is not a separately removable part. I also had to replace the larger of the two fans in the print head, the latter of which was like $2 from China. The heat bed was a little more expensive, a over $100 as I recall. I’m not too broken up about it — I do a lot of printing with my machine, even moreso now that I’m using it for my dinkum hobby business.

I had an OG X-Plus before that which was also quite dependable and needed nothing during my ownership other than replacing worn out nozzles. I gave it to a friend of mine and it’s still running strong.
