Prusa Mini here! I only swapped the nozzle for a larger one to print “faster”. All stock stuff so I can spend more time learning and printing stuff I design myself with CAD!
Bought Ultimaker 2+ long time ago. Its amazing and it is a reason why my older prusa like printer is collecting dust. I wouldnt buy it again tho, because there are much cheaper printers available
I have a couple of prusa mk3s one of which I'm upgrading to the 4
AnkerMake M5
Ender 3 pro. Never had any issues with it really. I replaced the motherboard with a skr mini pretty early on, and changed it to direct drive. Running klipper on a pi 3. Sure it's not the fastest, but it works very well for me.
MK3s with an MK4 ordered. My wife also recently got an Anycubic Photon D2
Ender3 v2 running Klipper with a BLTouch and a Micro Swiss NG extruder.
All my printing is done at my local makerspace. We have:
3 x Ultimaker 2
3 x Ultimaker 2 extended
Formlabs Form 3b
Markforged mkII
Most of my printing is in the Ultimakers but I use the form 3b for anything small or that needs that extra find detail. I havent found a good reason to use the Markforged yet (the consumables are quite expensive) but should be fun when the need arises :)
Ender 3 with BL-TOUCH, that BTT drop in replacement board with silent steppers (the first model), geared extruder, Micro Swiss nozzle, Creality glass bed, unholy loud Sunon fan on the block and a few printed extras.
Then a Monoprice Mini Select v2 with an aluminum extruder. Both have their Raspberry with camera and Octoprint.
Also a super dusty Elegoo Mars 2.
I have an Ender 3 V2 that I barely ever print on any more because I have a RatRig V-Minion now. I love this little monster, it's so fast.

- Spider 3.0 hotend w/ MicroSwiss .4/.6 Nozzle
- SKR E3 Mini V3
- Raspberry Pi (OctoPrint)
- Removable PEI Sheet -Solid Bed mount
I can print just under 190mm/s at volumetric flow rates of 20-25mm3/s. Also gonna try out those CHT nozzles and see if they can help with flow rates too.
I am planning on getting a lighter y carriage and lighter alu bed and see if i can go faster
Also upgrading to an AC powered bed. Probably going to leave it with the 12v PSU, once i get the AC powered bed.
Hotend doesn't take long to heat up unlike the bed almost 16-18 mins to 90c.
I will probably be getting a prusa mk4 or BambuLabs x1c as my next printer then a Voron. Once I get one of these my Prusa Mini will be converted to coreXY.
Started with an Ender 3 V2, which I tried modding with BLtouch because I hated the lack of auto bed leveling. Eventually I just got so frustrated that I got a Prusa i3 MK3S+ and I love it to death. It was just a quantum leap over the Ender and well worth the price bump. I’ve lately been selling prints for profit and have been eyeing the Bambulab X1 Carbon for its speed and the AMS.
Flashforge Creator Pro (Modded to single E3d V6 Hotend), Voxelab Aries, Voxelab Aquila, SUNLUT3, Ender 5 S1, Ender 2 Pro, Kingroon KP3S Pro S1 (I currently have a love hate with this one).
Have another Ender 2 Pro sitting waiting for mods, and a Monoprice Ultimate 2 waiting for a custom flash.
I think the next one will be a custom from the groud up build. I want something large.
My first printer was a Artillery Sidewinder X2, but I've pretty much completely switched to a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon now. I never really had too many issues with the SWX2, but the allure of multi-material and faster prints was too much.
I'm running a Prusa Mini at home, and a Markforged Mark Two and Ultimaker S5 at the office. I've been considering a MK4 for home, but I don't really use my Mini enough to justify it.
A BambuLabs X1 Carbon (a nice printer that would be great if they didn't close source it)
A modded Voxelab Aquila (Ender3v2 clone used to learn, break, and train my patience)
I'm thinking Voron next, but I'll see what's out there when it's time to expand.
Ender 3 max neo, how do you check the number of hours ?
I've got an Anycubic Kobra Max at home for big prints that is relatively reliable and a corexy poject printer cobbled together from about 10 different sources.
My first printer was a makerfarm i3v in 2014.
