Several years ago I splurged and purchased myself an Original Prusa i3 MK3 kit, at the time I had an original Kickstarter Robo3d which I had mixed results with and was getting tired of its issues. Life went off track and the MK3 kit has sat in the shipping box ever since.
I’ve got the itch to get back into the hobby and am wondering how I should proceed. Build the kit as is or purchase one of the upgrade kits? Or something else?
Money is a bit of an issue but I do have several rolls of Prusa filament still sealed so I should be able to get many prints with stock on hand without any additional spending.
Obviously I’ll need new gummy bears…
I’d build the MK3. It’s a workhorse of a machine if you treat it right. After a while if you decide that first layer calibration is grinding you down or you need it to be a bit faster, you can buy an MK4 upgrade kit or build a Voron… or both
