I want to start a business like yours someday, so I'm really interested in your injection molding process and all the aspects of why you decided to start injection molding parts instead of expanding your printing capacity (I've heard you mention it before, but I'm curious about a full rundown). Also, I kind of want to know how your business is structured? And a full story about how you grew it? That'd be cool.

At 13:41 he says its a pricy printer but I find it really justifiable as an engineering student who wants to use the printer as a tool, rather than make working with the printer a project in and of itself. I have nearly 6000 hours on the printer and it really is a reliable tool, as long as you take care of it and service it. Thanks for the review and if anyone is on the fence with this and a cheaper version but can stretch their budget, trust me its worth your money. Also definitely get the kit, knowing every part in and out will make replacement and troubleshooting a breeze armed with the knowledge of the intricacies of the printer

I mostly watch your videos for technical stuff about 3-D printing as well as your product design process. I am just in love with the fact that 3-D printing allows you to think something up and hold it in your hand a short time later. I run a small print farm of a dozen MK3S units and I have also run them 24/7 for nearly a year and a half and I can echo your findings: only minor issues over that time so far. I keep thinking I’d like a larger printer, but I am hesitant to buy something that is not made by Prusa… anyway, thank you for such great videos! I hope to be like you someday when I grow up 😀

As a guy that has worked with support for over 15 years, these simple questions that they ask on your initial support contact with them is crucial for their own sake. They have no means of knowing if you're a superuser or an average pleb. It kinds of eliminates things they have to ask you in order for them to really understand your core issue. 90% of all customers that I have been in contact with have had trouble explaining their problems to me properly over the phone, so that's why I (or them - Prusa support) have to take control and ask the customer a certain amount of fixed questions to narrow it down.

Yes! All our printers continue to be upgraded as parts become available.

I saw that you run PLA. Any complaints from the PLA deforming or breaking down over time?
@outofdarts2 жыл бұрын
None so far. Of course we always recommend people take proper care of their blasters and parts (don't keep their blasters in a hot car, etc).

How's the print speed and quality compared to the Mini? I have the Mini and it works without any issues (I'm not using it that intensively), and I actually don't really need a new/second printer, but the larger bed size would be helpful for some projects, plus double the printers means double the design iteration speed in theory. While I find the Voron models interesting too I don't think I'd enjoy putting those together with my current (lack of) knowledge - the Prusas are nice because they don't turn into projects themselves and I want to keep it that way.

These are speedy printers that produce reliably excellent prints. We used to have some minis, but ended up replacing them with more of the Mk3S+ because we found them that much more reliable than the minis in a print farm setting (it also helped that we only needed to work with one slicer profile instead of two). If you need/want the larger print bed, we can't recommend the Mk3S+ highly enough.

Thanks for the helpful video! I have the opportunity to buy this 3D printer for $650 used for 2 years and assembled or brand new for $850 not assembled. Which would you recommend buying?
@outofdarts Жыл бұрын
If it's your first 3D printer, I highly recommend getting a kit and assembling it yourself. It will help you know your printer inside and out so you can better diagnose and troubleshoot any problems you may encounter.

what would you recommend a new beginner to buy the Prusa mini and learn on that scale to begin with? or jump right away to the Prusa i3 MK3 ? thanks for your feedback

I do agree with your Mini statement, We got one and we keep going back to the MK3. What do you do to keep the PLA to stick to the bed? We do not have an issue when it is down, it is getting it down at the beginning is what is causing us the issue. The first second the extruder starts to push the filament out it kinda pig tails instead of staying on the bed. I know you mentioned you do 220/67 so maybe that is it as we only do 215/60 so maybe the slightly hotter bed will help it stick. We have been using glue sticks and that has solved our issue, but if we can just us clean build sheets then it would drop the cost of needing glue sticks.

Great vid…I use Cura for my build settings etc. I tend to use 50/60 speed for the initial base and then up the speeds for the outer/inner walls etc, my question is what speed do I actually set on the printer at the start of my print? Because it starts off printing at 100 and I need to turn the knob down to 50/60 for my initial layer speed and then crank up the knob when this base has laid. Why doesn’t the Prusa automatically adjust to the speed settings I’ve created in Cura?

Any tips for printing cages? Specifically the supports for cages? There always seems to be some left over support material that is difficult to clean and ends up pushing my motors slightly out of true.

So when are you and Joe going to team up and start PRUSA USA? I think a lot more people would buy it in the US if shipping time and cost were reduced by having a second headquarters in the US.
