Does anyone else have issues obtaining kovan ether? I have tried the following links only to recieve 0.01 Keth increments from app.mycrypto.com (when the site is up). The github sites do not respond
https://gitter.im/kovan-testnet/faucet
https://github.com/kovan-testnet/faucet/issues/128
https://github.com/kovan-testnet/faucet/issues
https://app.mycrypto.com/faucet
https://faucet.kovan.network/ returns "this site can't be reached"
I need KETH to debug issues with running a personal project that works locally. Happy to pay (nominal amounts) for KETH as obtaining KETH is too time consuming.
Is the Kovan network to be avoided due to this problem? Would it be less troublesome to test directly on the mainnet?

You could instead use MyCrypto's faucet. It supports Rinkeby, Ropsten, Kovan, and Goerli testnets. Just switch your Metamask to the intended testnet and then visit the following URL to receive your test ETH: https://app.mycrypto.com/faucet
