I have the 3+ and boy howdy am I tempted to get the upgrade kit for the 4 along with the multi-color add on. Does anyone have any insight into either kit? The additional colors sounds so cool. And I definitely want faster motors with smaller steps...
I have a 3s+ and a 4. As it stands right now my 3 has been much more reliable and is still my go to machine. I feel like the 4 still needs polishing. I have to fiddle with the Z offset here and there depending on my filament and the input shaping alpha is neat, but the finished product on the 3 with a 0.6 nozzle is much nice than my 4 with input shaping. Knowing what I know now I would rather have 2 well tuned 3s.
Did I miss something in the MK4 announcement? I thought the MMU was compatible with your MK3S+
For the MK4 stuff, I need to see an independent person do a side-by-side. I’m sure it’s better, but I’m not sure it matters enough to me, a casual, to spend $hundreds.
I sold my Mk3 and ordered a Mk4. My reasoning was that, if I buy the upgrade kit, I will have many unusable parts, which are technically still good. By selling the Mk3 for 300€ to a colleague, I got about the difference between full Mk4 and upgrade kit.
The upgrade is expensive enough it may make sense to just buy the MK4 outright and keep the MK3 as a second printer. I haven't done that yet, but it's a definite consideration.
