Update:
Do not use acetone on powder coated sheets! (10:16 is just for the smooth PEI sheet)
Prusa 3D by Josef Prusa I have a question I am considering buying one BUT does it have some filament?
@@chanelcat1041 one or two roll.
arturo pendejo thanks sooooo much
nathan villeneuve just one and sorry not getting back to you something is not working with my phone
So what kind of treatment do you recommend for powder coated sheets? I am ordering an MK3 next month and think I will go with the new sheets.
I love that this is available as a kit or pre-build at different/affordable price points. REALLY AWESOME. open source; great for developers. OUTSTANDING!
Hi Josef, this Video marks the end of an excellent Documentation! I finished the Build of the Mk3s 2hs ago. No problems, everything worked from the beginning. Thanks a lot!
The live Z calibration is an awesome feature! Very impressive machine.
The mk2 had that already
Wow, you have spent a long time programming that wizard to be so easy to use.
Adam Bryant I'd guess it to be one of the easier parts, however I see it's immensely valuable.
This video will really help me setup my printer up ! Happy New Years
I hope this means your review will be coming soon. I bought one yesterday anyway based on your other reviews and your thoughts on this machine, I hope I made the right decision :-D
Because I don't know how to build a reprap and am a RUclips shill
After the selftest it said to me "Filament Sensor Wiring error" but I double checked the cable. I also used a multimeter and the wire is totally fine. What should i do now?
@@markwilliams5654 wtf
There's something very gratifying in seeing people focus on innovation and quality. Not following everyone else and doing things their own way often finding far better ways.
Nice job Prusa! I like how you showed the proper first layer using real pictures, which will be immensely helpful!
The "Adjusting Z" calibration to dial in the initial layer until it is "Nice and squished" *as it prints* is incredible. Great idea.
Well, if you have an old-fashioned bed with thumbscrews for levelling, that's what you do all the time.
This video saved my ***. I got the fully assembled version and thought I needed to do calibration but it erases the already configured calibration. I really didn't know what to look for in the first layer and giving me the reference point of "about 1mm" was exactly what I needed to know to start. Thank you!!!
Bye bye K8200, hello i3.. keen to start putting ours to use!
Never would of took you guys for 3D printing people, but I’m a great fan and can’t wait for you to incorporate 3D printed parts into a future build even if it is just for a dashboard switch cover or something tiny
Moog and Marty! Great to see you guys here!
I couldn't figure out why my prints were so wonky after calibration, this video showing the -1.1mm really rung the bells and I just finished the badge without errors. Thank you!
Dude shout out Joe for putting up a video so I don’t have to read the handbook and can just follow along after assembly. Dudes a real G
Hi, I am Hong Maker. I am glad that the Korean subtitles I made are reflected in this video.
Thank you for the subtitles!
I just placed an order for the Prusa i3 MK3s. This makes me happy that, after 3 weeks of watching videos, I decided to buy the Prusa
This video did not helped me in setting up my printer, assembly guide and user manual was enough. What this video did was accompanying me for 25 minute calibration process so I did not felt alone. Thanks Josef :)
Hi Jo! I just received my MK3 last week and I want to thank you for making such an amazing product. The Printer works absolutely perfect from the first print and I already ran it overnight without any problems.
I just finish building it!!! A Piece of art! ... will spend more time building things instead of adjusting/fixing the freaking printer.... Thank you Prusa Team!
I moded some Prusa i3 MK3S and printed also PEEK. They work great. I also built an professional enclosure. There are great working machines with enough space for improvements.
Finished assembling my MK3 a week ago, apart from fiddling with Z-level to get proper bed adhesion, it has been working perfectly! cheers
I will never the money for this printer but seeing it being set up and printing brings joy to me !! Nice one Josef.
Thank you! Just completed building my new i3 mk3 worked, first time! printed Prusa logo looks good, now printing whistle. I can't wait for the MMU 2.0! Will be printing conductive and flexible for various projects. Another satisfied customer
can't wait for mine to arrive in on thursday. At the uni lab i have dmls sls sla and fdm by stratasys, haas and such major brands to play with, but this is my first very own 3d printer and i am excited like a child:) It took me 3 weeks to decide. I really can't wait even paid eur20 more to have guaranteed 2 day delivery:) I know the result will be far from what i've experienced with the big machines, but now i can wake up at 2am with some idea , draft it and have it ready in the morning. The choice was between Zortrax 3 and the Prusa mk3s and Prusa won by the waaay lower price , the great community built around it and the great vibe it has. And now it is miiiine!
Thanks Josef and team! Still waiting for mine to ship, but this will be incredibly helpful come February! :)
Also, I just purchased that intro music track for a client based video I’m editing and I’ve heard nothing but that audio track for two days, so I laughed pretty hard when the first thing I hear after getting back from the office is that same darn track. 😂😂😂
what is music's name ?
I'm looking into 3D printers for a moment now. After a lot of research I got so hyped for a MK3s! Can't wait to get my wife around so I can actually buy one.
Finished the build of my prusa a few minutes ago and am already printing! Great machine!!!
First print is running. Took me like 10 hours to build the printer.Great quality! What I needed, just fire and forget until it‘s done! :-)
Just test printed the first object. Thank you for the instructions. It was a joy to assemble the printer myself, over the weekend.
I finished building my mk3 in prox. 6 h and calibration / 1. layer hight in prox. 30 min. I have printed some things from SD. Everthing works perfekt from the beginning on. Thanks Prusa Team !!!!
Nice video Josef. @9:38 is a good photo for how the first layer calibration should look.
I have only been printing for about 7 months now. I've been bitten by the bug. I have 4 printers already and this is definitely gonna be my fifth. I hear a lot of good things about your printers. I cant wait to get mine. 🤗
Just bought your MK3 Printer for my son for Christmas, really looking forward to get into 3D printing! 👌🏻
I received my Prusa yesterday, I have not unpacked it yet. Will do so next week, I am truly excited
Why wait a week
Josef Prusa is a brave, brave man tipping his IPA bottle towards his laptop... salute to you.
I still can’t believe how nice or a release that print bed is.
Definitely better than exploding glass.
Josef thanks i finally got a working 3d printer and man its quiet!! Assembled in a afternoon printing in the evening. NO more Chinese crap only prusa original from now on!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
Costs more but worth every cent. Brilliant company.
I am sooo excited!! (Typing this with one hand while holding a white sheet of paper as the printer is calibrating the 4 corners :) )
Thank you for including troubleshooting for this. I hate it when other tutorials just assume everything goes well without a single problem.
Wizard:
1. selftest
2. x, y, z calibration
- remove steel sheet for calib and put on sheet of paper
- clean nozzle
5. 9 point Mesh Bed Leveling
- this is height calibration before every print
- put on steel sheet
6. Temperature Calibration/heating
7. Load Lilament (this will come up in wizard or find the load filament procedure in settings)
8. First Layer Calibration
- clean the bed (and then replace steel sheet on top)
- this will begin to print test line
- manually adjust Z (usuakky to -1mm)
- prints a small piece
9. clean the bed again to get printing by saving your .gcode file on SD card
(use PrusaControl from drivers package?)
Just bought my first printer. Very excited. Love the quality instructional video! Very much appreciated 🙏
2:00 You guys should use "-\|/" as your waiting "cursor" instead of just "-|". It looks cooler and goes way back to old unix systems. I remember seeing it on Solaris boxes in the early nineties.
The code is open you can make a custom version.
There printers are top quality, simple and easy to use. but that's not why they are the best in my opinion. There easy to understand software and guides are what makes them great! And who cant love this guy :,D
I love my mk2 and I am so getting the mk3 :D
I just bought this so I can build a Tesla turbopump which means I'm going to test if my concept* works AND I get to use my awesome new Prusa i3 MK 3 to replace my broken dishwasher nozzle at the same time!
Huzzah! Thanks so much Josef and the rest at Prusa 3D! You're a good eggs and I hope history has a page for your folks cuz you deserve it!
*Tesla turbo-pump will have a vacuum compressor intake before and after a Tesla turbine to suck the heat out of the water and hot air inside the dish washer resulting in faster drying/cooling without having to expend any extra energy besides what's already used to wash the dishes.
I mean I wanted to start with a (what might be a self-powering) turbofan instead but the wife told me it was either I fix the dishwasher or I'm on exclusive hand-washing dish duty for the house until I get that nozzle fixed so it's that while doing turbofan or put the tasks together.
"So cumbersome, that's why I had never bought a 3D printer until the Prusa Mk4 came out - fantastic device."
Glad to be a proud owner of a Prusa Mk3s since today!😁
After five years this machine comes with the same screen panel. Wow!
Every company should do this kind of videos.
I just bought my first Prusa last week and already i cant wait for it to get here... 3-4 weeks to go...
Josef, great video!! These videos will help a 3D printing novice such as myself get up and running quickly with the Prusa MK3. Thanks again!!
Just ordered my MK3S yesterday. Super excited to start printing.
I'd sure love to see a i3 mark "Big" where it has a print bed of 300x300x400 minimum. I'd sell a kidney for that build size with this bulletproof tech!
Just got my assembled MK3 today, first print was perfect. Thanks for everything!
For those eager to start with PETG, please note that Isopropylalcohol cleans too much. The print will stick too much, and rip the bed when you remove the print. Use the window cleaner for PETG.
Or use gluestick or some kinda glue spray
Outstanding guide ! No wonder why Prusa is the best !
I just ordered yesterday the Mk3 I'm so excited to get it. I'm coming from the Anet A8. So, a big improvement 😂
Just bought Prusa Mk3 thank you for your video the setup was super easy
Ich habe seit zwei Jahren einen MK3s, ich liebe diesen Drucker. Der funktioniert super, würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen .
Great video! I always follow your instructions and rarely have any problems with my mk2s. I look forward to the same experiences with my soon to arrive Mk3 upgrade kit.
Do you know why you should buy a printer from this dude? Because he has a lego super star destroyer in the back ground, the man has good taste.
Great video Josef, Crystal Clear Instructions ! Happy Printing.........
Ordered a MK3 last month and waiting for my April 9th shipping notice. Unfortunately i keep watching all the videos and looking at STL files i want to print which is making the wait excruciating... I can't wait to get mine!
Hello Josef.
Thank you for the really great product! And your presentation! I am excited for laying my hands on this machine. First few prints work as designed!!
Vladimir.
Great idea to make such a series of Videos , cant wait my MK3 arrives.
Loved the MK2 so much I had to get the MK3! Great support, great printer, I wish I could manage everything as good as you! Did it right! BTW - just got my MK3 up and running, prints awesome! Awaiting an MK4...
Couldn't it be doing the heater tests at the same time as some of the other tests to save time?
JOSEF !! I'd have liked seeing a nice close-up of the first print..
Thanks Josef. Just assembled my Prusa Mk3 and now I truly know how much hassle my Anet A6 has been. So much work with that POS for every print :) Though please make bit better cable management from ie. display. But all in all, assy manual included with machine was very thorough and simple to read.
Just ran my first print. Dang Josef...
So easy to set up. Amazing first print with no tweaks. The print quality is better than some of the corporate Stratasys FDM products I use at work everyday...
Nice promo vid there Josef. I've heard a lot about the Prusa but never seen one. Looks like a good printer.
Thanks for this, just built my mks3s and was having adhesion issues, and thankfully the vid showed nozzle was still too high! 👍😁
This video was required after Toms live stream xD
You only preordered and were given the info it will take a few months.
Hypocycle i Have no idea what were you doing lol. If your nozzle crashes into the bed, lower your pinda (its in instructions), check your firmware, might need updating, whenever i sent a message on forum i get a reply within 6-12h or you can live message instantly. Crash detection so far only detects "crashing" into something not being pushed so test it by blocking the motor not pushing (its also worth checking if its enabled in settings) plus it only works in normal mode not stealth.
The printer is defective, the CR10 is more simple better in all aspects, more volume, less BS for level the bed, and do not have the amount of plastic this Hundai have, the funny part is the price $780 dollars LOL, I get 2 CR10 working in 2 hours like a champ after a complete inspection. Parts are easy to find, this machine is a overprice Hundai. And yes after that fiasco with Tom this guy better lower the price of this machine, and his magnetic bed LOL magnetism goes away with heat, come onnnnnn. Just look the huge manual, the cr10 is minimal, why because works out of the box.
The only thing that is defective is the thing behind your eyes. What is the printer that started the whole movement of low cost non-industrial printers with industrial performance? Prusa. What sparked all the Chinese printer companies like Creality, Tevo, Anycubic, Wanhao? Prusa. What is in the item description of almost every 3D printer on eBay? Prusa i3. How many print farms run the CR10? Ok, let's play even in your playing ground. How many Prusa printers does Tom have now? 3. How many CR10s? 0. GG, lol. Ok, you want to complain about the magnetic bed. "Oh, come on, magnetism goes away with heat *picks nose*". Yes, it does---over 150 centigrade heat. Now the next question is, what the hell are you doing raising up your bed temperature that high. You really think magnets will lose their magnetism before plastic melts? Lmao. Obviously, 3D printing is too much for you, perhaps Hello Kitty Tropical Island Adventures would be more suitable. Now take your thumbs down and get the hell out of here you troglodyte homunculus.
You must be a welfare resipian legacy of the last administration, that has not idea of mechanics and electronics but make complicated explanation and excused when thinks do not work.
Got a mk3 coming mid February!!!! Can wait!!! 😆😆
Nice checking procedure! Here still extruding plastic with older i3.
Hi Josef, Thanks for the information videos, I'm waiting for the delivery of mine
Can you do a video on how to actually use the machine. From finding something to print and how to upload it to the machine? How to create basically. Creating custom shapes, random objects, files, etc
I am having issues with Calibration. Built it ourselves, and I keep getting an X Axis error when it goes all the way left. It stops, then gives me the error. Tried a few things and not sure what’s going on.
Superb quality video Joe, just like your printers.
Thank you Josef I wish other Companies follow your lead
Hi not sure if you will ever see this Joseph but I asked tech support how to get in contact with you and they said there is no way to and that is what brings me here. I am sure only the pr people will probably see this and not you but figured it is worth a try. I purchased the mk3 I3 and received it a week ago from today. It was the unassembled kit. I got all the way down to wiring and found out that my kit was packaged wrong with the incorrect pinda probe and also missing screws and nuts throughout every bag. I used up all the spare m3-10 screws in the spare bag and also was missing the tool kit. I contacted tech support sent pictures of the pinda I had sent me out a new one. Got it installed and having issues spent over 8 hours online with tech support trying to figure whats wrong with an 800 dollar machine that after paying that much I should not be having issues with things with it. After spending all that time she determined it has to be the pinda probe issue even though I told her what already happened and that this is a new one. Also sending out a heat bed since mine was not totally flat. I told her I would like to send this one back for another one and was told that's not how this works. After 8 hours of sending pictures and videos and them having me taking things apart and reassemble them again. I am not happy after spending this much money and having to deal with miss boxed items and having to wait a week then now having to have more parts sent out and waiting another week and already waited 5 weeks to get my printer. Again sorry for having to post here but tech support said if I emailed the companies email to contact you that it would never make it to you
I have a Prusa i3, love it. Actually considering a second for the sake of speed
Thanks for the video, looking forward to my new printer in Feb :)
Looks as a good and improved version!
Josef you are a legend among men! so very glad you are making such world beating progress
OMG cant wait! thanks Josef!
I want one! I have an Ender pro 3 but it does not even compare to this. I'm working on creating my our minis for revamping the world of RIFTs. The quality I can squeeze of of the Ender 3 isn't bad but this printer would be the best! I'm just a poor Basic Painter..lol
Great product...cannot wait to either buy one or build one
I'm using the glass bed on an ender3 from late 2019 and do not ever have to clean the bed after a print in over 2 mos. with both ABS and PLA I go through an entire spool of filament and only re level 2-3 times. I wipe the bed with a dry paper towel about twice a month. I wash the glass in the sink with dish soap and comet about twice a year. All the slicing in in Cura. The printer menu has poor selection ability, but It still prints every day all day non stop. The miniature memory card is junky. We would like to now get into this Prusa and be able to tweak it for similar performance. I will never understand why you ppl making these machines don't just put USB sockets on these things once and for all !!
its an extremely nice printer. If it wasnt so expensive i would have bought it. Now i have to go with another model from another facturer.
Would like to update my Prusa i3 MK3 with the new parts shown on the Prusa website. These are the parts affecting the heating and cooling of the print extrusion head. One helpful video would be the disassembly and assembly showing the old parts coming off and the new parts being installed.
Very nice! ... i have to wait till february getting my i3 MK3 hard time to wait
Maybe a tip, those moist fiber cloths to clean glasses are also IPA based
Yes but you need to be careful. Some of them use 50% isopropyl, which will cause bed adhesion issues.
Man I want one of these! Good job Joe!
Excellent and informative video, thanks a lot. Can’t wait to receive my printer.
Eagerly anticipating my first ever 3D printer, a Prusa i3 MK3S+!
Question - at the 11:10 mark you jog the bed by hand, is this recommended or frowned upon?
Having trouble with z calibration. I'm wondering if a pattern that auto adjusts the z height throughout would be easier. It's difficult to adjust and watch simultaneously. It seems that if the pattern had a set adjustment increment throughout it might be easier to look at the final result and determine a good value upon completion. Maybe print the same pattern in various quadrants with varying z adjustments and then pick the best quadrant. Repeat withing a narrowing range as you pick the best result with each iteration. I understand you may encounter problems based on the sheet not being level from side to side but that is already an issue as you try to adjust on the fly visually. To clarify, I'm referring to the "First layer calibration" step.
As always such a good and professional job !! carry on!
Here is my self made contribution to the Prusa i3 MK3s: pcpointer.de/3ddrucker/3d-drucker-einhausung-bauen/
A 3d printer enclosure for 2 prusa i3 mk3s printers.
I only hear good things about your printer and I would get one immediately... however, the print size is too small for me. If at least the Z axis would be bigger, that would help. The question is, why is it not "taller"? I mean, manufacturing wise there is no way it would make the printer that much more expensive, right? That said, I hope you come up with a "taller" print area soon!
i cant speak for prusa, but i think the frame sets a limit for how tall it can be, you could look into a zaribo frame kit if you want to get a higher z
@@grumpydude1598 Cool. I did not know there is such a thing. I will look into that. Thanks.
nice video, would love to own a Prusa i3 one day. one thing to note, the video has a lot of very high pitched squeaking during the calibration bit of the video
