I'm a fan of Prusa.  I've got a MK3s and a mini and the XL on pre-order with two toolheads.

I'm finished with the mechanical build on my first Voron 2.4, so we'll see if I actually keep the pre-order. 

I'm moving onto the electronics right now, but I have a feeling the wiring is going to take me quite a while.  This is my first build from scratch (not counting the Prusas).
