The Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ is the latest version of our award-winning 3D printers. We have upgraded the MK3S with a brand new SuperPINDA probe for improved first layer calibration, added high-quality bearings and various useful design tweaks to make the printer easier to assemble and maintain. The MK3S+ includes all the proven features of the previous models, including the heatbed with removable PEI spring steel print sheets, automatic Mesh Bed Leveling, filament sensor, power loss recovery (power panic) and safety features. And it is still as silent as ever!The functionality of the MK3S+ can be further enhanced by ourfor printing with up to 5 filaments simultaneously.

Winter holidays are just around the corner! If you decided to buy one of our 3D printers for someone else and you’re not sure if the package is going to make it in time,

SuperPINDA probe features a hiqh-quality sensor for a fully-automatic Mesh Bed Leveling process. Before every print, the printer probes the bed in several places and creates a virtual heightmap of the print area. This process ensures that the first layer will always be spot on!

The MK3S+ features a new set of metal clips for the high-quality bearings on the Y-axis. The belt tensioning mechanism on the X-axis was reworked and the X-end plastic parts reinforced. The filament path in the extruder was altered for better support of flexible filaments.

Spring steel sheets are easy to maintain and make removing the printed object from the print surface a breeze. We offer three types of print surface: smooth, textured and satin to cover all your needs when printing from a wide range of different materials - most of which do not require any special separation layers or surface preparation.

The MK3S+ features an aluminum extrusion Y-axis assembly. Thanks to the milled dural frame, the MK3S+ is stable, rigid, and easy to assemble. Combined with our internally developed extruder featuring Bondtech gears and the E3D V6 hotend, the MK3S+ can print high-quality objects up to 210 mm in height.

Are you afraid of a blackout ruining your 48-hour print? Worry no more - the MK3S+ can deal with that! The printer can fully recover from the loss of power and continue printing exactly where it left off. It detects power interruptions and shuts down the heatbed and extruder heating, and saves the last known location.

The MK3S+ further enhances the reworked extruder from the MK3S. The built-in filament sensor uses a reliable trigger system, which detects whether a strand of filament is inserted into the extruder. It can detect any type and color of filament and is not susceptible to mechanical wear.

Thanks to the SuperPINDA probe, the MK3S+ can use the Mesh Bed Leveling process to compensate for microscopic imperfections of the print sheet, and inconsistencies caused by the assembly and stacking of the manufacturing tolerances of various parts. Achieving a great-looking first layer is quick and easy.

Our internally developed multiplatform slicer comes with in-house made and fully tested profiles for all of our 3D printers and a wide range of filaments. With built-in tools, such as advanced support generation, cutting, automated object distribution, ironing and many others, you will turn your 3D models into print files in no time!

The MK3S+ is fully compatible with a wide range of various types of materials. No matter whether you want to print something for fun from PLA and flexible materials, or you need to produce durable prototypes from PETG, ASA, Polycarbonate and Polypropylene - the MK3S+ can handle them with ease.

We develop firmware for all of our 3D printers and test every new version thoroughly before release. Ongoing development and regular updates ensure that our machines are packed with useful features, such as print sheet profiles, automated calibration, Mesh bed leveling, advanced diagnostics, remaining print time estimation, Octoprint support and more!

Looks really nice, but viewing angles are no better than the original. I have a second printer with a Midas MC42005A12W-VNMLW and plan to switch this one to that too. The contrast of the viewing angles for the transmissive lcd are so much better.

It’s well known in the desktop 3D printing world that you get what you pay for. If you want to spend under $300 USD, you get a Creality Ender 3 and deal with its slightly half-baked nature. Or if you’ve got the money to burn, you buy a Prusa i3 MK3 and know that you’ll remain on the cutting edge thanks to a constantly evolving slicer and regular hardware revisions.

Now it stands to reason that an expensive product will have expensive accessories, but even still, the recently unveiled “Original Prusa Enclosure” is sure to induce a bit of sticker shock in even the most ardent of [Josef Průša]’s fans — the most bare-bones configuration of the 10 kg (22 lbs) box rings up at $349 USD. You read that right, just the enclosure for Prusa’s flagship machine costs more than the average Chinese 3D printer. In fact it costs as much as the kit version of the Prusa Mini, which incidentally, is set to get its own version of the enclosure sometime in the future. If you select all the bells and whistles, a fully-decked out Prusa Enclosure will cost you $700 USD, plus shipping.

So what do you get for your money? Well, for the most part it’s just a box. We’re sure it’s very well built, and the design is perfectly matched to the dimensions of the Prusa i3 MK3, but it’s literally just a box. There’s an integrated temperature and humidity display, but the printer itself is responsible for heating the chamber. We like that you can move the printer’s control panel to the outside of the box so you won’t have to open the doors as often, though at that point the printer and enclosure will have been merged into one heavy-weight unit, which obviously hinders transportability. The air filtration system is likely to be a popular add-on for $76, but our interest in the fire suppression system is hampered by the fact that (at least for now) it’s only available to customers in the European Union.

In the blog post announcing the product’s release, [Josef] explains that there’s already an excellent low-cost enclosure solution for the i3 MK3 based on the IKEA Lack table, so the company decided to go all in and design something for the higher end of the market. Will the average i3 owner fork out the cash for the matching enclosure? We doubt it. But for the tech startup that’s running a small farm that they want to be as safe and reliable as possible? That’s a different story.

Additionally, there is anew magnetic desk with exchangeable platesmadeout ofspring steel coated with PEI.The kit consists of a fully assembled printer.

The subject of the sale is the original 3D Printer i3 MK3 by Prusa Researchfrom the Czech Republic, founded by Josef Průša, one of the main developers of RepRap.

Prusa printers have collected great reviews and awards from all around the world. Oiginal Prusa i3 MK2 is the winner of the 3D Printer Shootout 2017 and 2018 of the prestigious journalMAKE:and for more than a year has been the best desktop 3D printer by 3Dhubs,com Trends MK2S, it is also the best 3D printer for 2018 in the category "workhorse" according to the guidebooks 3DHubs.comwith a score of 9.3 (best rated printer).

Supported materials: PLA, ABS, PET, HIPS, PP, Flex, Ninjaflex, Laywood, Laybrick, Nylon, Bamboofill, Bronzefill, ASA, T-Glase, filaments fiber-reinforced, polycarbonate...

The new frame on the Y-axis is made ofaluminum profiles,providing greater rigidity. Milled frame from duraluminim was alsooptimized for fieldwork by adding 10 mm along the Z-axis -range of 210 mm.

New driversTrinamic 2130and fanNoctua make the MK3 printer very quiet in the Stealthmode, but even in normal mode it is quieter than 99% of commercially available printers. In normal mode, it also has an increased print speed, now it can reach even more than200 mm/sec.

MK3 canresume printing after a total loss of power. It detects a break in power supply and disables the heated table and the extruder, after the resumption of power it resumes printing.

Prusa MK3S+ has a brand new filament detection sensor. The new optical sensor is released by a simple mechanical lever. The senson does not detect the optical features of the filament (it can be fully invisible).

The newEINSY RAMBo motherboardwith Trinamic drivers not only makes the MK3S+ extremely quietbut it also candetect skipped steps and layer shifting. You can say goodbye to messy prints!

In addition, the motherboard hasspecial inputsto connectthe Raspberry Pi Zero W,expanding the function of the printer with thewi-fiinterfaceOctoPrint.

The printer has an upgraded Bondtech extruder. It grips the filament from both sides, increasing the push force and making the printer more reliable, especially for flexible filaments. Also, the print cooling fan now cools part from two sides, increasing the overall performance.

E3D V6 is market-leading metal hotend well known for its high-temperature performance. MK3S+ uses a customheatbreak developed together with E3D. It has proven well its reliability in our Multi Material upgrade and continues to deliver great performance in surprisingly small form factor.

TheSuperPINDA leveling sensorhas been designed to be as insensitive as possible to temperature changes. The advanced design and the highest quality sensor allowed to eliminate the thermistor from the sensor design. SuperPINDA ensures that the first layer of the model will always be printed the same.

MetalMisumi bearinghousings provide a stable support for the printer and are easy to install. Improved design solutions in the X-axisbelt tensioning mechanismand the reinforcement of the plastic X-axis endings increase the precision of the device. Theextruderwas adapted to the printing of flexible filametes.

The Prusa MK3S + includes a number of improvements that make printing easier.The device uses sensationalGates straps.TheEinsy housingmakes it easy to connect the Raspbery Pi.An anti-corrosion coating on thesteel platesincreases the life of this printer component.

Quality is guaranteed by Josef Prusa - PrusaResearch is a 3D printing company from Prague in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2012 by Josef Prusa, one of the fathers of the RepRap movement, as a one-person startup and it has managed to grow to more than 160 people.

prusa mk3 lcd displays f pricelist

The Prusa i3 is one of the most successful 3D printer designs in history. Because it’s an open-source design, dozens of manufacturers have sold their own versions. Sometimes those are exact clones, and sometimes they have small tweaks. But genuine Prusa i3 3D printers are consistently rated as the most reliable consumer printers on the market. That said, they have a pretty basic monochrome LCD screen.Dr. Scott M. Baker decided to swap that out for something a little more interesting, and chose a vintage VFD.

This mod was tested with the Prusa i3 Mk33D printer, but should work with earlier iterations and many clones. It essentially just replaces the boring monochrome LCD with a cyberpunk-style VFD (vacuum fluorescent display). VFDs used to be common in consumer electronics, because they produced clear, bright graphics. But they’ve fallen out of favor in recent years as LCD, LED, and OLED displays have become more affordable. There is no denying how cool they look though, which is why Dr. Baker performed this modification.

TheVFDitself is made by Noritake, and — very surprisingly — is almost an exact drop-in match for the LCD that comes with the Prusa i3 Mk3. The display is a little expensive at around $90, but it’s hard to beat the convenience. All you have to do is take apart your control panel and pull the PCB out. Then either desolder the original LCD or order a new PCB (available atprintedsolid.com). Next, just solder in the Noritake VFD and put the control panel back together. That’s it! It should just work. You can even use filters if you want to change the color of the VFD.
