Thank you, but my budget allows for quite a bit more room. Are you positive that's the best option under 800 dollars?

Yes, I am. I own one. Auto leveling is not something you'll find in most printers. The direct drive lets you print nearly anything and the support they provide is quite good for the 3D printing industry.

I just ordered mine a few days ago! If you have more budget you could get hardened nozzles for printing with metals/ carbon fiber (the printer already can, but might wear out faster).

The printer looks amazing! But the only thing I can afford is the kit, and I'm not super technically experienced. Is the assembly prices vertical difficult?

The only printer kit that I can think of that could be easier to assemble is the Creality CR-10, but the Prusa is a much higher quality printer. (Though the CR-10 has a larger print volume)
