Hey all,

I'm planning on upgrading my Ender 3 V2 with a new printer, and I'm not sure which printer to choose.

SV08 has a massive build area, which I really like because of the size of my personal projects. And Klipper is a plus I guess? Never tried this firmware before.

On the other hand Prusa is well tested and known, also its multicolor extension is alluring to me.

Can you share your experiences if you used them before to help me choose? Thanks!

FWIW, I've been a long time Prusa user, but I'm returning my Prusa mk4s and wouldn't buy one ever again.

See: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4254

I spent 3 months working with support, they replaced just about everything related, eventually sent me a whole new printer, and the new one had the exact same issue out of the box.

It starts too low consistently, so filament builds up constantly till it drops and ruins the print.

I can't print anything bigger than 20cm² without it dropping a giant blob somewhere in the print and ruining it..

Always perfect first layer is not real, and my experience is that they are distancing themselves from the promise they made when the mk4 was announced.
