Not low-cost at all though
Second hand though would help, wouldn't be surprised if we see a bunch of mk3s and maybe even some mk4 with their new printer coming out. I still use my mk3s pretty frequently, made a bunch of mods to it, still chugs along.
Ooh, that's a good point. I had a similar experience. Specifically, I didn't really know what I needed when I bought my Prusa, so I didn't get all the features. I was pleased to be able to buy/print and mod in a few of the features I was missing in my initial purchase.
There's not really going to be a low cost solution that just works out of the box with no calibration.
