So, on Amazon, it seems all the prusa printers are shipped or fabricated by other companies…For example, HICTOP Filament Monitor Desktop 3D Printer Kits Reprap Prusa I3 MK8. Would this be considered the same thing (though Mk8 instead of Mk2)? Or is it better to try and find a Prusa specific device? Thanks!
Wait so is this a separate publication or will we be receiving it if we have a subscription?
Where can I see the results of the Shootout test prints and the slicer settings that were used to produce them?
Just ordered this printer!
i mean for thermal camera?
But can it print magnetizable metal?
I want to print my own cricuit boards and fabrication machines.
You are lucky as my printer came with a controler that did not work. i spoke to the 3 times and each time they promised to send a new one but did not. the last time i spoke with them they said there was no record fo it. i have a big paperweight on my desk
super machine
I’m laughing a bit too much at the clone advocates trying to compare the $200-$300 junk imports to this machine. Hows that ABS glue, Painters Tape and manual calibration thing going? The MK2 is superb. Spend more time printing instead of trying to figure out how to get a good print. 🙂
Nice vidéo but you can give me the liste of compement to participate to buildind
the linus edition haha
Check out the C Bot / D-Bot 3D printer, it has become pretty popular with the DIY community. You have to source it yourself (not a kit), but MAKERs should be okay with that.
How does Flux all in one 3d printer compare to this?
good video explaining the advantages os this 3d printer, i need infrmation like this before trying to buy my first 3d printer, because in latin america they have high price range and it is a big big big chunk of your pocket, my questikn is the following, can this printer handle recycled filament? and can it handle recycled PET plastic filament? i ask this because filaments can also mean a lot of money, and if i can find a good way to recyce different types of plastic in to filaments for 3d printng, it will help a lot to develop 3d printing comunity in latin america.

This site is pretty cool.
and my order for the kit got pushed back 2 months because of this video. lol. just got off the phone with them to check on my order status after I saw the video and got the update. RIP. o well happy printing all!
This is the MOST expensive prusa printer. It’s a rip off.
When we will have 3D printer that’s so reliable, good quality and accessible by most people and easy to choose like choosing a laptop/smartphone and a common different price point represent different quality 3D printer you will get? And does 3D printer still in rapidly change or already in mature condition? If I’m a self learner and really into invention, build stuff, DIY, is it time for me to buy a 3D printer now or I should wait another bit of time? I really want a 3D printer won’t outdated just within a year like some of previous models, andI wish it come with laser embed and so on.
Hard to argue with that price lol
tiko 3d, $199 delta printer
I should have bought 3 of these instead of my Ultimaker 2+. Really.
it’s a reprap mendal worth about 200£ they have to publish everything as it’s open source
look at the cheap display lol only 3 bearing rails and a unflat bed which uses software levelling lol
glass is best lol prusa is a joke selling over priced open sourced stuff haha haha
This printer can’t be the best overall 3D printer for 2017, there are much better built printers, some at lower pricing. What a joke MAKE magazine., your better than this.
whats application which you use?
Too bad Ultimaker didn’t come out with a new printer… Oh, wait…
At 2:13 you can see the nozzle forcing the bed down. Is that supposed to happen? Seems like something is a bit off? A few seconds before it doesn’t look like it’s doing that.
