Sadly, Prusa is not equally reliable.
The fact that the Bambu printers use linear slides means they have a huge accuracy advantage right out the chute. And the Bambu printers have a bunch of other quality of life improvements that really add up.
While you can certainly slag Bambu for their business practices, the other 3D printer companies are absolutely lagging on the engineering front. Companies like Prusa need to step up their game.
As for phoning home, we isolated the printer on its own network and it hasn't caused us any issues. Sure, some of the monitoring features won't work, but it seems to print just fine without network access.
So you claim Prusa isn't just as reliable because they're allegedly less accurate?
Get your claims straight. My Prusa Mini has been super reliable. Is it less accurate? Maybe, but that's not the claim you're replying to.
Go on, why are you shilling?
Increased accuracy decreases chances of failed prints (especially when you are trying to up the speed)
