Selling brand new Prusa i3 MK3S - Wasn't a good fit for me.

I wanted to gift my pre-teen kid a 3D printer, and this one was recommended. I had no idea of the amount of work it would take to set it up. I set it up but I am getting error messages as I'm trying to calibrate it, and I really really don't have the energy to go through the whole thing again and adjust all the screws and connections. I can't even remember what anything is called. I'm just not the right user for this printer. 

Is there any way I can sell it somewhere so I can at least get some of the money back?

 

I'm located in Chicago.

What error messages?  I bought a Prusa from co-worker recommendations.  I have also seen the troubles at work with different models of 3D printers and I can tell you that it isn't as easy as many make it out to be.

This forum is full of people that can help you, you just have to ask.

Visit: https://world.prusa3d.com/en

Zoom in on Chicago, there are several hundred Prusa users in the area, contact a few and see if a local can help you get started.

Cheerio,
