Creality to Prusa worth it????
Hi All, I am based in Australia so getting stuff is a pain down under. I have a creality Ender 3 and a CR-10S. My Ender 3 just died and fixing it will cost half as much again plus weeks waiting for parts. And to be honest I dont want to give any more money to creality to fix their own crappy machines.
I have heard that Prusas and more reliable and just work. I am hoping someone out there has made the move from Creality grade machines to Prusa to give me some real world feedback. Moneys a little tight at the moment and a Prusa Mk3 will be about x5 the cost of a new Ender 3.
I use 3D printing to support other hobbies, so I really want something more reliable. I dont mind some tinkering but not every week.

Hi achanak.b, I just got the OG Prusa mark 2 for Christmas and let me tell you, its gonna be worth it. Santa boug... *coughs* made the kit for me because I wanted to put it together my self. Assembly only took me around one full day of work since I was on holiday and had nothing else better to do. The first chapter is the hardest step since it requires you to be extremely accurate when building the y-axis but the rest of the steps should be fine. I would also recommend working on a flat surface mate, since it can mess up the dimensions if you know what I mean 😉 Besides that, its worth your money and it isn't crap like the "BI"POLAR 3D since that piece of crap only works when it wants to. Plus its reliable, and comes with features like "auto calibration", which few printers have, and a heat bed as hot as Penrith yesterday in Sydney. With a little maintenance and patience, the OG Prusa MK3 will be the perfect printer for you and your hobbies.
P.S. I would recommend buying the kit since its around $300 cheaper than the pre-assembled version.
P.S.S. It also comes with gummy dinos, which had me reaching for my wallet right away.

Can anyone advise me about using Creality PLA on my Prusa i3 MK3? Some experience with the quality of prints?
