I am sorry for all the people having problems, but my Prusa mjni is finally just workjng and happily printing all the stuff I throw at it. Its been having issues here and there forever. I just figured out that the hotend has not been assembled correctly (heatbreaker to nozzle seal was weak) which became a greater issue when switching to a 0.25mm nozzle. Now after I fixed it, it is just awesome :)

I have an ender 5 which I've had to do all sorts of things to. I've also had terrible luck getting z-probes to work with it. They'll work for a while and then just die on me...

A while ago I backed the Phrozen Arco on Kickstarter. It was a mess of a compaign but I eventually got the printer (Over a year and a half late). However it's just worked and makes nicer prints than my ender 5. I love it so much. My makerspace has a Bambu which seems to have the same results. I love just printing something and having it work and not having to fuck with the printer. It's been so nice.
