Prusa really seems to be on the back foot these days. Their new CoreXY is the hottest printer of 2020.

I do hope they find their way into an innovative situation soon, Bambu has captured enormous amounts of mindshare and seems poised to stay that way.

It is an attractive machine and a great facelift. The ~ $400 upgrade kit for the MK4 is a great achievement and makes it competitive. But I don't remember even hearing an exaggerated speed claim in mm/s or volumetric flow approximation in the video. Simply "all filaments print the same speed".

Interesting thing, they mention PLA, PETG, ASA, and Polycarbonate but not ABS. Hinting at their declined support for a good filament, if you have the setup.

Overall. Good for them, they are embracing a more open ecosystem, but open hardware open software, and accessible APIs for some GPIOs are different.

I need to see a technical and dumbed down by someone who should stick to resin printing reviews on Youtube before I can further judge it.

It is however laye to the party. Bambu has made a name, the K2C has only a dual z axis and Qidi Pro is as plastic as Hollywood. The competition isn't too strong so any innovation is good for the space.

Bambu are locally too expensive, for a company and me this might be it!

Prusa's stance is 'ABS is obsolete you should all be using ASA', so that's unsurprising. Furthermore, those four filaments happen to all be included in the Prusament line.

Qidi specifically don't have a leg to stand on, considering their last _two_ releases had severe electrical issues.
