MINI+

This is caused by the age old problem of Bowden systems similar to the Mini. The heavily constrained filament path causes uneven extrusion dependant on the position. So on one side where the buckled PTFE tube causes the filament to be pulled out of the hotend you'll get underextrusion and on the oth

I know it hurts to say this but if you want a machine that's a Prusa Mini size right now... it's an A1 Mini from Bambu. Prusa is just never going to be able to compete in that market again when Bambu can sell that machine for $200. MK4S is sub-$700 now (in the USA as well). That's the machine to get

At the very least, it is getting firmware updates, but they haven't made a statement on improving it or putting it on EOL. The state of affairs for the Mini really is bad, unfortunately when the competition runs circles around it. Maybe your best bet is finding a used Prusa considering the release o

Idk I’ve had to do less cumulative maintenance on my 3 Bambu printers than the time I spent reseating or replacing the fucking PTFE tube on my Prusa Mini

It is a hard habit to break for people who have been 3d printing at home since the MakerBot CNC. All of a sudden I have a printer with all the features I need in an X1C. Sure, I printed a solution for the poop chute and to hold the AMS up so I can move the glass panel. And, I replaced the hotend wit

i still love my prusa mini. it’s a fast little fella. no long calibration, quick bed leveling, simply fast and reliable. love it.

Personally I bought a P1s because it was the cheapest and best printer I could see after my Prusa mini started to show it's age. You don't see many builders giveing such personality to their hammers, it's a tool.

Do you want help fixing your printers or do you want to debate about Prusa's quality? Pick. I run a Prusa Mini+, a MK3S, and a MK4S. The 4S is unkillable. The 3S before it mostly as well. The Mini exists to print small jobs and replacement parts for the other two.

The prusa mini is almost 6 years old ( that is barely a year younger than the original ender 3 ), thats fine for a printer you want to tinker with but it should have a corresponding price tag.

No, it requires manual Z offset. You want any Prusa with “Nextruder” which is basically every printer but the Mini. It’s also way too high a price for an older printer. That said, it is still a great printer.
