After six years I'm replacing my BQ Hephestos with the Prusa MK4.

First print. A gcode file that came with the printer. This thing is fast. I had an issue with the homing of the x-axis but that seems to be solved after re-calibrating the printer.

Next comparison of XYZ-cubes. The green one is from the MK4 while the yellow is from the Biqu B1 (basically a deluxe Ender3 clone). What stands out is that it's almost impossible to see or feel the individual layers on the green cube.

Finally the benchy and it looks really good. First impression of the Prusa MK4 is that it works right out of the box. No adjustments or hassle, just slice a file with Prusaslicer and print. Enough for today. Later I'm going to play around with the input shaper and other types of filament (PETG and TPU).

@ericbuijs
Definitely interested in hearing what you think about it as I'm considering getting one myself.

@gomez I will do that. Hopefully I'm able to get some prints done this afternoon.

@ericbuijs Definitely want one. Been considering this printer for ages. Let us hear what you think about it and some images too :)

@ericbuijs Looks like better cooling,filament flow control plus harder accelerations :)

Nice and defined.

@raise_project Indeed. From what I've read a lot of work has been done on a completely new extruder for the MK4.

@ericbuijs that looks super clean. Nice! Enjoy your new toy. 😄
