I'm fighting with my Prusa mini and it's too small anymore, it'll definitely go. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner tho, for a newbie it's too picky.

Which one would you buy and why?

My friend, who prints for money, recommended used mk3. I just want something bigger than mini and simple enough, I don't have the capacity to tinker around. But now I'm thinking about just switching his Hornet for sale with him, it's bigger and might be enough. I have for now no interest in printing figures, details and other fine things, probably even 0,6 nozzle will fullfill my needs.

It's good that you know what you want to print with it. Indeed a .6 nozzle is a good choice if you want to print big parts thus want to be able to print smaller details every now and then.

When it comes to making money with printing it's about reliability and repeatability. I love that the mk3s always give the same result when using same material and won't produce much failures. They are just made for printing.

That's good to know from more sources, thanks. Im more versed in sewing machines (they also bring much pain sometimes), but I expect the basic rules to work here as well: better older earlier expensive piece than new and god forbid - cheap one.

That's a good rule, indeed.
