I wonder if you could use the original PEI sheets from Prusa...

Charles do you need the money to pay for filament? 😎 (you gave us the affiliate links to the product, thus you make money for everything we buy from AliExpress after we click your link....)

No.  I have been using it to shorten links to avoid errors from Wordfence.  If I post 2 links, I get an error.

Just to add to this: If someone owns one, post your experiences.  It will convince me to buy one.

I'm confused what they mean with "MW Power" and "normally Power" 🤣

Just a guess, but MW might come with a Mean Well power supply?

That might be possible! I would definitely consider a Meanwell then.

If someone needs to save $ then I guess I understand.  I still don't think it's appropriate to discuss it or advertise it on Prusa's website though.  I'm sure there's a site for clonies to gather and discuss their plans to steal money from Prusa.  Personally, I don't buy pirated product simply because I don't think it's right and it's definitely not fair to the creator of the original product.  Using Prusa's website is a slap in the face IMO.

@smoking_rubber

I was just asking if anyone has purchased it.  I am ordering one to MOD.  I do not want to MID my working printer.
