Ooooh, the Prusa Mendel i3 MK4 is out! Tomorrow I'll be on a spontaneous road trip over to Prague to check out the MK4 - what burning questions do you have that I need to ask Jo and the team about?

@falki @layers You've got a good point. If I could get at least $300 for a 5-year-old MK3 (upgraded to an MK3S) that is in great condition, I'd come out ahead and have a fresh printer, should I get the MK4 kit. I'm
