MK3 5 Years!
I'm celebrating 5 years with my original MK3!
Upgraded first to the B3 version (printed).
And then to the MK3S (printed and ordered parts).
Besides consumables, like nozzles, PTFE Tubes and PEI sheets, the only really faulty and failed part I had to replace was the Y-axis runner pulley.
Lately, I have not used it every day, but maybe once a week or two.
But when I do, it is always there and ready. Switch on and print.
Like any machine/tool, regular maintenance helps. I did it every 3 months or so.
Thank you, PRUSA, for your continued support and always believe in your own products.
The cost of this printer has repaid itself many times over!

Mine is four years old, but same. Definitely a reliable workhorse.

Same here, I have of very first MK3, which printed over 80 kg so far with no big issue. Sure, I had to lube machine, clean fans, like normal servis, and change the nozzle once, but other than that it just works pretty well.

Good ol' Mk3. Reliability and trustworthiness are priceless imo.
