Selling Prusa i3 Mk2.5 and Buying a Mk3s
Hey Everyone,
I've been thinking of selling my Prusa i3 Mk2.5 with half bear upgrade for £500/£550 and then deciding what printer to move to and the obvious choice seemed to be the Mk3s kit for £699. I mean, it'd be quiter, seems easier to troubleshoot and has some nice QoL improvements compared to my Mk2.5.
Have heard of people building their own clones of a Mk3 but I'm not sure how confident I would be in doing that and whether or not it'd be worth the hassle / money saved.
What do other users think, am I completely nuts or?

the big question is do you need the build volume of the mk3 or may the new mini even be enough?
beside this the MK3s is a solid printer to get and you probably wont regret it.
Personally im looking more into getting the new core XY printer once it comes out but that could be a while and it will be pricier.

I would keep MK2.5 and buy Prusa Mini in addition.
Especially if you have already half bear, then put the printer in an enclosure and print ABS/ASA/Nylon/PC. Use Prusa Mini for regular PLA/PETG stuff.
