Hi Folks - I have seen some fabulous reviews of the Prusa i3 MK2, and the price is great - but I've also seen that there's currently a 7 week wait for delivery, and I have a project that won't let me wait that long.

I've also seen that there's any number of clones of this machine - Geetech and others whose names I currently forget - that are available but don't get the same glowing reviews as the Prusa.

And then there's the original Prusa i3 which also seems to be available.

What do you think - are any of the clones worthwhile? Reliability and availability of replacement parts are very important to me - not to mention excellent print quality.

And is the MK2 really that much better or different than the original Prusa i3?

Your feedback would be much appreciated - thanks!
