In 3d printing, the difference between a great print and a mediocre print is attention to 1000 small details. Prusa has addressed 999..... For the type of printer it is ,it's the best you can get. There are many other clones, only one Prusa. I have a clone. It's not close..... Great choice.
The only thing to be aware of with this type of printer is that if you get to the point where you are printing tall heavy objects (like a solid fuel grain for a hybrid) then as the whole print moves when printing , you can still get top wobble marks and will have to slow down printing as the height increases. Hold a pencil vertically in your fingers and move your hand side to side to get an exaggerated version of the effect. The table with your print does the same thing even on glass as a base.
Remember to recalibrate when you change filament type. Print your test cube as a minimum. Different filaments have different shrinkage rates and this will be dependent on the bed temperature and filament type.
And always remember when you come into the workshop to discover your first 1/2Kg ball of 0.4mm plastic string your printer has created for you, it's just a sign the printer loves you, dad!!!!!
