One thing to check on the factory models is the belt centering on the pulleys. Both my X and Y belts weren’t centered correctly despite following the directions flawlessly, had to shim the motor mounts and also the printed Y motor holder where it mounts to the frame. Seems to be a common issue.
Comment on Finished building the MK4 kit and placed it in the enclosure, first few prints have been great.

Good to hear some people are happy with their MK4.
I've been seeing so many complaints in the Prusa facebook groups from early adopters.
Personally I'm keeping my printer farm running MK3S printers for now, I'm gonna let everyone continue beta-testing the MK4 for another year or two before I splurge on a few factory assembled machines for the farm.

Hopefully the factory can find a good workaround for future revisions of the design. But gotta hand it to Prusa - they quickly respond when something needs be adjusted in the build. I remember the minor upgrades from the MK3s to the MK3s+ which seemed minor to some, but were huge for others (for me I see barely any difference in my farm, but hey I'm glad they made those changes if it increases the lifespan of the rails/bearings, etc).

There’s a reason my mk3s is the one I have as a fallback. It’s really easy to service and I find it doesn’t need a whole heck of a lot of tweaking. I imagine not having to set z height is nice but I haven’t found the need to change it once it’s dialed in as I pretty much only use the satin build plate and don’t change nozzles often.

Dude, satin build plate for the win, it's amazing

I wish there were comparable products because I want that build surface for my voron, it’s just a bit smaller than an xl so there’d be some overhang.
