This is a pretty neat tour of Prusa's printer factory on the Strange Parts channel

They have an absolutely massive 600 printer farm, with the same mk3 and mk4 machines that they sell to customers, which is really impressive.

They do almost everything in-house, including manufacturing the printer mainboards, for faster project planning and turnaround times.

Note - the video is pretty long at about 40 mins!

After watching I'm a little tempted to pick up some prusament filament to support the company, really like how they are supporting local talent.

Not only does the product rock, but you can tell this dude is in it for the right reasons. Definitely worth supporting.

I just wish they had a CoreXY machine for consumers. I'm not buying another CoreXZ as it doesn't print well some of my designs.

It's way too big and heavy for home use. I want something in a regular sized package and also enclosed. Something like Bambu Lab X1C or Creality K1, but from Prusa.
