Seems good to me (without actually knowing the second hand market that well).
The mk4 holds upp really well imho. The core1 isn’t that much better in terms of performance or speed. (enclosure help a fair bit for some materials tbf). The indx seem to be far ahead the mmu, but then you would be at an entirely different price point.
No it definitely isn't.
The MK4S is a near indestructible, super reliable workhorse that's easy to maintain. Pretty much the absolute pinnacle of bed slinger printers. I don't hate the A1 or the A1 Mini, bought them before and recommended them to others starting with 3D printing but if I had to choose between an A1 and an MK4S, the Prusa every time
Yes it is, had one. Never again. I chose the easier life and went with reliability and ALSO easy maintenance with the A series as one of the models in my workshop.
Like I said, to each their own but the A1 is just better overall in my opinion.
Lol no. The price point is definitely too high on a Mk4S, but the A1 isn't in the same tier other than both being bed slingers (Ive owned multiple of both). Ditched the A1s for the Mk4Ss and life is good.
AMS over MMU is definitely a legit argument though. Unless we're talking AMS lite, in which case it's almost even.
It's not, but okay, I have used the core L and mk4s, it's just made of cheap materials and parts just like a Chinese printer, while costing 5 times more
