Hatch box is also what I found best.. I am however trying Printbed and COEX.. so far so good with both.. (Amazon brand the worse I have ever used..LOL)

I built the Prusa Mk 3 from a kit when it first came out. I've upgraded it over the years to the latest standard. I also use the Prusa slicer. Both come with regular free upgrades that make them better than when I purchased the printer. I've printed a lot of different filaments. The experience of building the printer is a lot of help when problems arise. I can't comment on any other printers, but I've been very happy. I plan to buy their new, tool change printer when is is finally available.

I run an older Bibo Touch2 and recently purchased an Ender 5 pro. The Bibo is super fast and includes an enclosure making abs printing a snap, but it's pricy due to dual extruders and included laser (which I've never used). Super loud also. The Ender is really quiet and makes fine prints, but it's happiest when printing considerably slower than the Bibo. I do enjoy the build quality of the Ender and how well it prints right out of the box.

I have tested a MOOZE as well as others.. even a Clay Printer.. (POS).. During testing I have melted a few down pushing them to their specs. LOL.

3D printing is without question a game changer for us design nuts.
