How 1 Man Took on Prusa Research And... Won ? XL Enclosure Comparison

Video Description

Could it be that a solo designer out classed an entire department at Prusa Research? Perhaps. In this video I compare Josef's Original Prusa enclosure for the Prusa XL to the aftermarket Sumo enclosure, designed by Joseph Willis from 3D Sourcerer. I compare these two alternatives on the basis of 5 criteria: ease of assembly, aesthetics, performance, value added features and overall value for money. To answer the question of which enclosure is easier to assemble I challenged two 3D printing enthusiasts to a race to see who could assemble their enclosure quicker. The results surprised me.
