Ha, I didn't recognize where that was.
I don't know what we would buy if we were in the market today. There is a lot more available on the market today and the technology has grown since I was shopping around in 2015. I see it as a tool, DW sees it as a hobby toy, so it would come down to whatever she says. I'll keep my Prusa and she can have the new toy. I think this Prusa will last me a long time.
I saw Ender has a small flexible enclosure for $60. That's not a had deal if it works
Prusa's, are still considered the best option for an out of the box experience, and after talking to voron people, the voron's don't print better then the ender's just faster.
I only got a second printer, because I started selling, and stuff comes in waves.
I am not going to complain about the Ender, my original is rolling up on 1500 hours, and I don't even watch the first layer anymore, turn it on go to bed, get part in the morning etc. and print quality is not really going to be beat, at least not from what I have seen from other printers. ASA print below, no enclosure.
https://bambulab.com/ this is the one to watch now. its a kickstarter so I dont know if I would send the money to back it, but rumor is it is ready to ship this summer, so not a normal kickstarter.
as for a ender printing as good as a Voron, only with a bunch of upgrades.. out of the box they print good, but the voron with out any tuning can print just as good but 10 times faster, with tuning the quality goes up also. I was just getting ready to order my voron parts, then this Bambu labs unit came out.. now I waiting to see if they have plans for one with a bigger bed.
