For my automated content I go by a factor of 4. Things that I download manually usually also gets ratio 4 but things that are hard to come by or that I really like get unlimited ratio.
A while ago I had an Ender 3 Pro which I upgraded with a BL-Touch and self-printed parts. It worked great and was reliable but not something I would call plug and play....
I understand where you’re coming from, but I can’t justify paying the Prusa tax lol. Don’t get me wrong, I would consider getting one, but my usage just isn’t that high.
Regarding your development point, there are several open-source projects like Marlin or Klipper that are free to use for 3D printers. Even Prusa uses a variation of Marlin as the base for their firmware, though they modify it to fit the needs of their printers.
I’m not entirely sure about this one but couldn’t they simply use Prusa’s firmware if its a 1-1 clone, eliminating the need for additional development costs?
Dude it’s not that serious.
But lets compare:
The price for a MK3S+ just by itself is 719€
The Sovol SV-06 costs 228€
Prusa constantly updates their stuff and it is often pushing the limits of the hardware. This has made every cut price clone obsolete by the time they come to market. This is a moving target. That is the business strategy to avoid clones trying to undercut Prusa.
If I can get last years “flagship” for a fraction of the price I’m going to choose the Sovol.
Yes that obviously makes sense but is the price step up really worth it for someone who only prints occasionally? The price difference between the Prusa MK3S+ and Sovol SV-06 is almost 500€
I have a couple of issues, actually. I had it set up perfectly and loved the results it produced (perfect bed adhesion, perfect layer stacking, no elephant foots whatsoever).
But then I moved and stored it away and didn’t touch it for almost a year. Now I have issues with bed leveling and extrusion.
Even if I manually level the bed it gets uneven in between printing jobs. My BL-Touch can’t even counter it. Some time after that my extruder stopped working correctly. It wont feed filament and just grind away at the gear. I’ve check for clogs and if the gear was worn out but that’s not issue. I have a feeling this printer is cursed lol
Now I just want a clean printer that I haven’t tinkered with yet so I can back into 3D printing after my unintended hiatus haha. Any idea what to do with my current printer? I don’t really want to fix it anymore.
Keep is an app my wife and i use quite a bit and would love to find an alternative on iOS (if there is also an Android app that would be a huge plus, our son has an Android)
Go for it! It’s not as feature rich as the competitors but once you get the hang of it and have a routine it’s great. There’s also no additional cost. Others oftentimes have a premium subscription tier.

I’d like to thank the admins for being so open and direct about the issues that they’re facing.
Do you share?
i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet....
Is there a clone worth getting?

Alternative to Keep on iOS?
