You really need to add "cheap" when talking of Prusa with the Prusa R&D Tax and European made cost added ;)

Really not a fan of cantilevered anything and in particular one running a mass at speed on the ends of it. It is just asking for resonance and skin artifact issues.

Afraid to say give me an Ender 3 for just on 50% of the cost with a bigger print volume.

Interview with Joe here and some explanations of the bits and why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76K1D-6Y1ao
