⚖️ Expert Verdict

The Elegoo is massive and fast, but the Prusa Mini+ is that legendary European engineering that just doesn't throw a wobbly. The Neptune 4 Pro gives you way more build volume for your quid, but you'll be spending your weekends calibrating it. The Prusa Mini+ is the winner for anyone who values their time—it prints perfectly every single time, even if it is a bit slower. If you’re building a business and need reliability over raw size, the Prusa is the one that's proper sorted.

Thomas ★★★☆☆

"Firmware was a bit dodgy out of the box, needed an update immediately to stop the nozzle from grinding. Solid bit of kit once you tinker with the settings."
