It is 2024 and I just got this. This time I paid extra and bought it fully assembled. It arrived in Canada quickly and was packed very well. I have already made hundreds of things on it, it is the reason for current projects (I use this to make molds for ceramics).
This upgrade was really worth it. The biggest benefit of the MK4 is improved bed levelling and prints stick much better. The second biggest benefit is precision. It can print molds too large for the bed in two parts and they mate perfectly. 1/10 mm difference in size is the difference between parts fitting precisely for being too lose or too tight. The MK4 is also capable of printing quite a bit faster. And it has a much better controller board and control panel. Filament loading is easier and the controller is smarter about fault conditions. Like the MK3 this arrived with fantastic documentation, I was up and running in no time.
I don't know how I would live without this amazing machine now! This is an example of a recent print. This was printed in two halves (the top half was done upside down), and they fit together incredibly well. The walls are only 0.8mm thick. Using 3D printed side rails I will be able to fill this with plaster to make a block mold (having embeds into which 3D printed natches will mount).
