Very much. Can print bigger projects, or smaller one with more parts on the same plate (for example, rims for rc car, which is technically part of the bigger project)
I’ve got one now with a V6 knockoff hot end, steel PEI print bed, and running klipper firmware. It was backup printer, and now it’s the backup to the backup (purchased Comgrow $70 used Ender 3 pro).
I’d like to give this to a friend that’s interested in printing, but I’d have to flash back to stock firmware. The buttons and display don’t work with klipper, and I don’t have a spare raspberry pi.
It’s still relevant with the upgrades I made to it, except it’s still has really noisy steppers, and the build volume is so small it’s really limiting. I think the Prusa mini is still large enough to be practical. The monoprice is mostly relegated to toys.
I need some 18650 holders for a project which the mini can do great with, but I need a lot and printing them two or three at a time won’t cut it.
Yeah that is a tough size if it’s all you have. When I fist got mine I had just the mini and a CR10s 400 which is 400x400mm so anything I could get away with on the little guy I did and kept the big projects on the monster.
