Prusa Mini update: Improvements including Bondtech extruder & heat-break

In my opinion my Prusa Mini missed the mark on release. Some good features but the print quality and reliability was just not there. With plenty of folks still suffering from these issues, I decided to purchase and test the Bondtech extruder and heat-break upgrades.

Make up your own mind based on the side by side before and after shots, but from my point of view the extrusion quality and consistency has improved. What do you think?
The print quality is now “good enough” for me to use this 3D printer as I intended.
