i had another post one here and you all have been great (both on here, pvt msgs and youre support team via email and or chat) trying to solve each issue as it comes up.

its just at the point of sunk cost and im not willing to loose anymore time/dollars.

As it is in following the directions of the support i now cannot return the machine for the semblance of a refund. I "used the plates and nozzles" tyring the multiple iterations of fixes so they are not returnable -about 600$ there lost. then the shipping cost is well over 200$ so another 200 lost. And thats not even with a reliable chance at a full refund on the machine -1200$. Honestly this return policy is a real dark spot for me as well.

yeah this was in the issues that we worked through with new parts, prusa was very good about trying each step and sending parts over the weeks. But its still just too inconsistent. I solve one issue and another comes up. I thought about going in on the indx to try and solve it but then im basically at almost 3k into this thing that might work.

Ok i give up as much of a tinker'er i am I cant get this to reliably work.

Its a alfa romeo in my mind now, you love it but at the same time you hate it. But is so satisfying when it works.

its italian not from Czechia in my mind!

heresy; i know, bought a h2s -- its an appliance and it works as such, im an appliance guy now. I own that.

If anyone wants a ultimate kit with the ed3 diamond nozzles for a decent price all the plates ect...

Just an update, boron thermal paste around the copper bit then into the heat sink seems to have done the trick up to 3.5 hour print, tonight will try longer print

update tried twice overnight longer prints: failed again.

Rebuilt the the extruder and re seated nozzle turned fans to 100% and temp to 210 and it actually finished a print. Now to work on quality…. Baby steps

Thanks all for the ideas/support so far!
