I am sorry for all the people having problems, but my Prusa mjni is finally just workjng and happily printing all the stuff I throw at it. Its been having issues here and there forever. I just figured out that the hotend has not been assembled correctly (heatbreaker to nozzle seal was weak) which became a greater issue when switching to a 0.25mm nozzle. Now after I fixed it, it is just awesome :)

I'm so right there with you and know several people in the same boat. We all got so sick of tinkering and still having a high percentage of failures to the point that it became a chore, but now its as simple as slicing and waiting.

I've put 2800 hours on my X1C in the last 18 months and have had to do only one repair and have had maybe 10 failed prints mostly from adhesion issues. It's been good enough that I've been able to create a side hustle and just bought a P1S during the Black Friday sale to pump out more volume.

I'm not exactly happy about their recent changes but even if you don't like Bambu, you have to hand it to them for knocking the ball out of the park and forcing everyone else to match their quality.
