Currently using a FLSUN Super racer. It’s a delta style printer and fast as hell compared to the printers I had before. 400 hours on it currently.

Had a Ender 3 before it. Lots of issues. Ended up giving it away to a friend who still uses it and still has random issues.

First printer was a Printrbot Simple Metal. Bought one the moment a heated bed was a option. Great printer for the time, but dated now. Keep thinking about resurrecting it to print flexibles on of these days.

Prusa Mini+

Creality CR10 - Almost every aspect of it was upgraded.

  • Control box delete, relocated electronics/psu under the frame.
  • Dual z leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts and oldham couplers
  • Linear rails for XY Axis
  • Bigger XY stepper motors
  • HeroMe Gen 7: Dual 5015 cooling fans
  • Nocuta 40mm hotend fan
  • Noctua 40mm electronics fan
  • BLTouch
  • Orbiter v2.0
  • Spider 3.0 hotend w/ MicroSwiss .4/.6 Nozzle
  • SKR E3 Mini V3
  • Raspberry Pi (OctoPrint)
  • Removable PEI Sheet -Solid Bed mount

I can print just under 190mm/s at volumetric flow rates of 20-25mm3/s. Also gonna try out those CHT nozzles and see if they can help with flow rates too.

I am planning on getting a lighter y carriage and lighter alu bed and see if i can go faster

Also upgrading to an AC powered bed. Probably going to leave it with the 12v PSU, once i get the AC powered bed.

Hotend doesn't take long to heat up unlike the bed almost 16-18 mins to 90c.

I will probably be getting a prusa mk4 or BambuLabs x1c as my next printer then a Voron. Once I get one of these my Prusa Mini will be converted to coreXY.

Id still go with 24v. I think switching psu's would've netted more than the new steppers.
