No stringing seen on pla yet. Here is a test I did for you. Not even a slight wisp.

Awesome, it looks well tuned. Did you use some standard PLA profile from PS or had to change something (z hop, ...)?

I changed nothing. Prusament 0.2mm profile.

Those prints look good! What were the initial issues?

RE: MINI first impressions

Thanks everyone for your first impressions. I'm not an early adopter, so was depending on your feedback before ordering my own. Finally pulled the trigger on my own order, with delivery expected April. I already have an MK3S, so this will be for increase in capacity. Thanks again.

He had variety of issues, described in this thread: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/new-mini-not-a-happy-camper-so-far/  

I am glad those were resolved, now there are few more things to add to troubleshooting list 🙂

Glad those issues were resolved. Overall, the issues are fewer & less severe than I expected for a new design. Kudos to Prusa for anticipating most problems & quickly resolving those that remain. I expect most of the bugs will be worked out by the time I get mine in April.
