Is anyone else having HORRIBLE problems with their Prusa Mk4 or Mk4S first layer quality...

My mk4s developed a problem that Prusa spent 3 months troubleshooting with me where the first layer is being laid down too close, and so filament blobs, then prints fail.

Eventually, they advance replaced my whole printer, and the new one had the exact same problem out of the box..

I managed to find a bug that was raised on github for this exact issue, with 22 other people registering "mee too" for the issue..

I'm just looking for some feedback from the wider community to see if any others have hit this problem?

No, I believe you hold Prusa to a higher standard than they actually deliver. It's true their roots are in open source, but these days they are only partially open source and their control board is not open source at all.

    Reason is as example bambu. Prusa and the other open source player's doing the development and off has the development cost. So now there the closed source manufacturer which picking their printer from the open source work. Has no development cost.. its not sharing anything for the open source community and ofc can sell their printers for so much lower. This destroys the open source community
