This video is an updated comparison, and the original comparison, of the $750 Original Prusa i3 MK3 kit and the $330 Creality Ender 5 kit. While these are both excellent printers they fill different needs.

I recommend you watch both reviews, starting with the original review to gain the best possible understanding of these printers.  The original review is listed on top below followed by the undated review.

I'll start by discussing all the components that impact print quality and then continue by reviewing a calibration print.

The calibration print is used to assess dimensional accuracy, feature resolution, flow control, stringing, and the printer's ability to support overhangs.

As part of the review, I will discuss the importance of the manufacturer's ecosystems their value to you.
