3D printing with Prusa i3 MK3S

image_pdfimage_print

3D printing is additive technology for device prototyping. If you are interested in budget but very durable and affordable device i can recommand you printers by Joseph Prusa (homepage https://www.prusa3d.com/ ).

World known model is Prusa i3 MK3S taht can be obtainted as fully assemled model https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/181-original-prusa-i3-mk3s-3d-printer.html for 999€ or as kit with lower cost 769€ https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3s-kit.html .

If you have a time the best way for obtaining a prusa 3D printer is by assembling it. Next galleery show how i build my printer.

Assembling kit include great assembling manual, but you can in all time refer online manual here https://help.prusa3d.com/en/category/original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit-assembly_336. Another way how to preare for buld is through youtube bulding marathons. As examle of these bulding marathons you can watch:

or as very quick preview

After successfull assembling you must gou through selftest of device. All axis callibration process and very crucial part of all good print is Z-axis calibration and when is necessary live Z- adjustment. All my mistakes are related to:

  • bad Z- axis calibration – to low or to high position of extruder nozzle
  • loosen gear feeding filament in extruder (inconsistent print)
  • innapropriate material for printedobjects (bad results if you use ABS for higher model and room temperature is not constant)
