The 5 tool Prusa XL is currently flawed, but I think it can be fixed

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: @ttracingYT It’s been delayed for some time and the price hasn’t gotten any cheaper, but finally my 5 tool Prusa XL has arrived. Was it worth the wait? So far, the printer is quite undercooked. In this video I take you through my honest experience, including the problems myself and other owners are facing, as well as some of my intended fixes. Hopefully Prusa can release some updates to get this machine working as it should. My apologies for my ranting in this video, but honestly I could have added more. Things like needing to turn down the crash sensitivity to stop false positives, the nozzle dragging across the bed after purging and leaving trails, the fact that you can’t adjust things like acceleration from the printer settings, the friction from the long ptfe tubes making it impossible to load tpu without pulling bits off, the PTFE tubes rubbing on the metal frame behind the tool posts, the USB flash drive being fussy with insertion angle.. The whole thing is just underwhelming. This video is dedicated to my two dogs, Ricciardo and Sofia, who were both tragically killed by snake bite this week. Treasure your time with loved ones and pets, because you never know how long you will have with them. 0:00 Introduction 0:45 What is the Prusa XL?
