    I have finally a working 3D printer! I bought a used Prusa MK3S for 250€. It's about the current price it goes for but for me it's a bargain, as it is the start of the end of many of my printer problems. I want a work horse, reliable, not super fancy, but it does the work, neither exceptionally but competently. Also it's my first direct-drive extruder which will enable me to print with flexible material like TPU at 95 shore hardness.

      @adiwan Congratulations, nothing quite like the end of a string of problems

        @scribus Thanks. The previous owner had printed a test print just before I arrived to demonstrate that it works, and I believe him fully that it always was without any problems. However, There is a lingering thought in my head that is slowly getting louder saying that my luck (more misfortune) will make it to an object with the same amount of problems as I had before. Joking aside, I think it will take me a little bit of time to get it to know and know its limitations and quirks. It uses a magnetic spring steel sheet with a PEI layer as the print bed surface, which can be really tricky to print with PETG, that is my preferred material. It tends to destroy the PEI coating of the print surface when not being carefully handled.
