Why Does Nobody Speak Truth About The Prusa I3 Mk.3? - It's Overhyped and Over Priced.

EDIT: Yes, the Prusa was turned up to 236% print speed, but the Focoos was also turned up to 235% I did not make 70mm/s was too slow to elicit the ghosting response I wanted. Therefore, starting with the Prusa I increased the speed factor to 236%. I explicitly talked about it at the 30:06 timestamp saying "The original file was set to be 70mm/s up here, print speed, and I printed at 236% so that's like 150 or so -ish mm/s" Then, when I was talking about the Chinese printer I said at 32:42 "I did up the speed also on this one to 235%" Therefore, the test is valid as both gcode files had the top speed set to 70mm/s and then both machines were run at 235mm/s. The comparison is fair.

For Prusa Fanboys it's not really about the printer. It's a populist political groupthink quasi-religious thing. I think it is post rationalization to avoid buyers remorse. They spent too much on their printer and don't want to feel stupid so they justify it by calling the Mk.3 "the best" and then they attack anyone who dares to say otherwise.

Both printers were run at 235% print speed: I talked about it in the vide here 30:06 and here 32:42. Stop leaving comments saying "gotcha" if you haven't watched the entire video

This channel has a long history of criticizing Prusa and because nobody else is willing to say these things (for fear of the toxic Prusa mob) Design Prototype Test has become a punching bag in many 3D printer forums across the internet. I have been branded as an unreasonable hater of Prusa. Let's see what happens when I actually get my hands on a Prusa I3 Mk.3.
