What do you use for a 3D printer?

I have Anet A8 modified with AM8 kit and a CR-10. Been wanting to get a Prusa really bad.

My library has a Prusa derivative and several Dremel commercial machines, all running PLA filament. The Dremels are not bad for FDM machines, but the RFID-equipped proprietary spools are not ideal IMHO. On one hand, they tell the machine what it is using so it can auto-adjust its settings and simplify setup. The quality seems good, too. On the other hand, you're locked into a proprietary supply chain.

I feel the same way, we may need this kind of solution, that prevents handling mistakes, to bring 3D printing to a wider population but we need an open standard shared by most companies (unlike ink cartridge for normal printers).

I have a Tevo Tarantula and an Anycubic Photon Zero. I understand, Prusas are great but way out of my budget ^^ I imagine that the AM8 kit increase considerably the stability of the frame, have you seen any significant changes in quality after the mod?

Yes it prints better. It already printed good though just endless leveling problem with the cheapo bed. I bought a heavy duty bed frame but never installed it.
