The Original Prusa MINI+ is a compact 3D printer with all the bells and whistles you would expect from the creators of the award-winning Original Prusa i3 MK2 and MK3S!
Perfect right out of the box, watch the assembly video for the mini and you are all set. Test print came out as expected first time. Only printed one part and it is great. Connected Octoprint and now go from Prusa Slicer to Mini and print. Thank you for such a great product.
I am a middle aged female that has always wanted a 3d printer(got excited in the RepRap era but lacked the skills to get all the items and put it together. Then Prusa evolved. Yes, I could have bought a cheap copy. Instead, I am supporting a company that actually understands how to do instructions well. Yes, you failed to send enough Haribo. You knew that already. My 8 year old daughter claimed one from each row. She had to work for them but that means I am down 3 Haribo.
All joking aside. You are building a company without Kickstarter hype or disappointment. You sending printers to Ukraine along with files to print splints means that the choice we make to buy from you benefits more than just you. You are supporting your people and people around the globe. Well done. If you ever come to Wisconsin(a State), please contact me and I will happily buy you a meal and introduce you to our inclusive Hackerspace. They replaced an Ender 3 with a Prusa Mini+ because they need little to no maintenance by comparison. We have two mini and two Ender 3 printers. Maybe we can save up and get an MK3.
Stay safe. All hail Open Source. Make the world a little bit better.
Also, read the instructions a few times before you start building your kit. Also, lay out your parts only as needed. Finally, you will have spare parts in case something goes wrong.
Thank you for the kind words. The people who write the guides put a lot of effort into them and I will certainly pass along your compliements and also the invite for a meal and the visit if we are around your neck of the woods :)
My wife and I just ordered this printer for our 3 crazy-wonderful young boys. We just moved from the Pacific NW to Wisconsin and are absolutely LOVING it here! Just received our Prusa MINI+ in the mail today, can't wait to unbox, assemble, and start on this fun adventure with the family!
I found the instructions a little crazy..get this but don't use it you'll need it later etc. I found the you tube video more helpful after gong through the instructions. I'm very handy but this took me awhile.
Hello. You don't need this lubricant when assembling. It is shipped with the kit for regular maintenance of the printer, as mentioned in the Handbook (chapter Bearings).
