After over four years of non-stop runtime and continued improvements in hardware and software, is the i3 Mark-3 ecosystem from Prusa Research still the workhorse king?
The short answer: Absolutely. I take a look back to give our unique insight running a print farm full of Original Prusa printers, all of them updated to the Prusa i3 Mark-3S+ specifications. From our experience printing, repairing, and replacing parts, I can be confident in saying that these printers are extremely reliable; even compared to newer options in the market, the Mark-3S+ comes out on top. They will continue to churn out products for us well into 2021, 2022, and beyond. That alone proves their worth invaluable.
UPDATE 4/2023: Prusa has recently announced the Prusa Mk4, which is a further improvement on their i3 design. We have purchased a Mk4, and we'll be running it through its paces in the coming months. Stay tuned for more content about that!
