I absolutely love my Prusa i3 MK3S+. I've printed almost 900m of filament since August, almost all of it going into tabletop minis. Sure, you can tell they're printed, but they still look good.

I bought the assembled version because I'm good at losing screws. I immediately made some stupid decisions and factory reset everything. Fallout? Took something like 10 min to fully auto-calibrate and get up and running again. It was magic.

It took some trial and error in the slicer to get the support settings where I wanted, but this thing just pumps out whatever I give it now.

PrusaSlicer is also really awesome. It doesn't do tree supports like Cura, but it auto-fixes pretty much every model related issue on load. A lot of the other slicers I've looked at either don't work on linux or can't deal with model issues from online .stls.
