Congratulations on getting everything set up! I like the case. I had a LACK case for my MK3 but I'm not going to use it my MK4. I don't like having to disconnect the PS to get the printer out of the LACK.
How do you like the case?

I added XT60 connectors to the middle of my hotend and heated bed cables, plus a JST in the middle of the power panic wire so it's quick to connect and disconnect.
The XT60s are way overkill in terms of the current they can handle vs what the printer puts out, but I trust them to stay firmly connected and they're really easy to solder... and I had a bag of them.
Case is great, I like not having to mess with moving the power supply or display. It's designed around having the PSU inside the enclosure, with dedicated air ducting to the PSU vents. It is a little noisy with the printer vibrating the melamine base like a drum on top of the enclosure's plastic feet... I'll suspend it on foam and/or a paver someday. It also removed the hot plastic smell from the room entirely (I'm sensitive to it).
Wow, that enclosure is awesome. The print's very nice as well.
I just finished my MK4 build yesterday and was blown away by how well it worked with no dialing in. As close to push a button and print as I've ever come across yet.
Looking forward to more prints and tweaking this weekend.
Do you know how it compare to the MK3S+?
I have one and want another Prusa, and not sure if the upgrades are worth it, or if it's better to just get another 3S+ just for the parity and simplicity. Plus 3S+'s are cheaper now.
It's significantly faster, the higher motor resolution reduces vertical fine artifacts, and the nextruder reduces texture that could otherwise be caused by bad drive gears.
Good to hear some people are happy with their MK4.
I've been seeing so many complaints in the Prusa facebook groups from early adopters.
Personally I'm keeping my printer farm running MK3S printers for now, I'm gonna let everyone continue beta-testing the MK4 for another year or two before I splurge on a few factory assembled machines for the farm.
Is it safe to put dryer with filament on top of the box? I have Tukkari for my Mini and I haven't try that yet
Tukkari support told me directly to do this. It barely gets warm under the dryer, so there's no real risk of it damaging the plexiglass.
I was thinking about the weight. Anyway, thanks for the info
This is their thicker (and more expensive) enclosure, I haven't noticed any issues. The back end of the dryer is right over the corner joint to hopefully add strength.
