Prusa's printers also worked out of the box. They cost slightly more, and their staff aren't volunteers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

No they did not. Calibrating flow and pressure advance was entirely manual. Vibration compensation/input shaping did not exist until 2023 [1], and was also entirely manual. The Pursa XL (only thing remotely comparable) was over double the price [2], with the Core One (Bambu competitor) not coming out until 2024 [2]. Their MMU was a clusterfuck of tinkering [4], so when Bambu released the AMS, people were trying to figure out ways to get it to work on the Prusa! Even now, the new Prusa MMU alone is almost as much as a Bambu + AMS!. Bambu shook the industry because it was better in all ways that mattered if you actually wanted to make something.

More than slightly more, certainly when comparing like-for-like, particularly when considering multi-material features. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
