In this video we will have a look at the Original Prusa i3 MK3 3D Printer and find out whether it is a worthy successor to the MK2. Along the way I will show you my experiences I had with the machine and its new features. And at the end I will tell you whether I think it is worth the money.

what i like about 3D printer is that u have the ability to print simple stuff that u might need in a Project like a nut or a screw with a prefect size without sturggleing to find it
What a well spoken, perfectly honest review. For one second, my mind didn't wander, and I didn't touch the fast forward. Bravo - this printer is in my future.
This is the MOST HONEST review that I have found. Thank you for that.
@Bubz of Steel i agree with you, u look like a good-eye customer, could you please tell me which one would you recommend?
A very nice review. Thinking about getting a 3D printer and see this seems to be the Cadillac of 3D printers. Thanks for showing other types of filaments that can be used and that you need to fine tune the parameters. Again great job!
I bought an Ender 2 for just 140 bucks and so far it's working fine. Of course there aren't any fancy features but still one of the best entry-level "get yourself hyped up without breaking your wallet"-kind of 3D printers :)
$140!? Damn! How's the print quality? Have you been able to fine-tune it to get a decent quality?
Benchy had a few tiny things that weren't as good as his one in the video but it's pretty damn close and definitely more than acceptable for that price.
in my opinion the anet a8 is better, you just have to upgrade it and its works perfectly. im already printing with 0.1mm and the quality is really good
If safety is important, the Ender does far better.

You haven't the faintest idea. you don't know anything about that.
1:10 this is no joke even to me when i ordered a contact lens solution they gave me a packet of gummy bears
pizza lol
almost want to buy something from them so I can get some gummy bears
That gummy bear made from their 3d printer 🤣
its easter egg ...
When you order gummy bears and get free gummy bears
Give them 10/10 for the gummy bears
IF ONLY you knew what they were made of... IDK if you would be so enthusiastic.
Bit like MacDonalds, if you knew, then you wouldn't want to eat it.
Gelatin from bones, hooves, etc, which has been well known for a long time I thought... Last time I've seen anyone surprised or grossed out by it was grade school lol.
People have been eating gelatin for centuries, it used to be a luxury
Exactly, here you go son, chew on a bit of bulls hoof...
Its like allot of chewie sweets have chemically derived sand in them, basically a sweet made out of sand and sugar and a bit of flavouring and colour...
There was a time that sweets and foods were made with proper ingredients and none of this chemically recovered stuff...
why have you done this
In the interest of public health and safety, it is important to understand the depths of the food chain and what goes in to your foods, pretty gross, if you ever see a sausage being made,you will never touch a "Minced product" ever again.
My dad when he was given a division to run for a company that sold food additives for food processors, he came home after going around a sausage factory, then a beef burger factory... both items off the menu. You wanted sausage, you wanted beef burger, you made it yourself out of meats you ground yourself using meat from a butcher you trust.. So for my dad to do that, it has to be pretty grim.
Sweet production is as grim, gummy bears of the likes in the box... I would rather eat the ass out of a live crocodile... TYVM.
Any other owner of 3D printer: *struggles with ABS*
Him: *struggles with bamboo, wood and gumish "thing" made from tires, shoes etc.*
Where can i dawing model on apps or websites?
Dude! I love the fact that you called yourself out on being "too lazy" to fine tune your parameters. I love it when people admit things like this. Great review!
I thought that the acupuncture needle was for when the printer started acting up and you needed to take some of the stress away.
I work on these printers. Mainly the MK2's But they are really easy to fix.
Am I the only one who finds the sound of 3D printers calming?
poppet pala No :D
Try a 24-ish hour print, you won't find it calming anymore xD
I love the musical notes it makes... I'd love to try create some geometry that actually plays a tune!
usually i fuck during printing :D
I can hallucinate the sound in a silent environment after a long print. It is not calming, it sits into your brain and haunts you.
I just ordered the upgrade for the i3mk2 to implement the bed upgrade. So this video is very useful for me, thanks!
OMG it's my dream to have one of these for years now for prosthetics design! unfortunately my body crapped out and i can no longer work so it remains a dream only! these things are getting so cool and mainstream now!!
Maybe get an ender 3 it’s way cheaper like below 200 and it has similar print quality only thing is it doesn’t have the comfort features like a magnetic bed and stuff
I wanted to get Prusa i3 MK2(.5) but its price still was too high for me, so I got the cheapest 3D printer kit with known good track record (FLSun, Anycubic was one of the candidates but the influencer replied too late)
It's loud, it's wobbly, it keeps knocking parts off the bed, etc.
I drowned the bed with glue stick and turned the settings to perfection.
It took me whopping 3 weeks of constant effort to get everything working at least a bit reliably.
Now you know why Prusa printers are a bit expensive. They make sure you will have the best possible experience with their products. One by one. And that costs money.
Sounds to me like you just don't know what the hell you're doing
To this day i still love the Prusa i3 mk3, do you think you'll ever review the Bambu lab?
Edit: scratch that, I'm almost hating the sound of Bambu thanks to the community.
3d printer, buy it or diy?
It is on my to do list but I have no idea when I will get to it
I'm afraid if you will finish it in 2022. 😁
Haha......possible
I knew it. Lol Wkwkwk 😁
Or Maybe you must try to review another model of 3d printer like sls.
i love my Prusa i3 Mk3 (it's the only printer i have thou). It's indispensible for my metal casting (patterns) and making in general. I just love it! - i do wish it had a bigger build volume though.
@@teeemm6415 oooh thanks i'll have a look cheers :)
I have recently bought the renkforce rf100 v2 and i think for the price its a really great 3d printer. The only drawback is the priting size(120x120x120mm)
Probably the most honest review I've ever seen. A lot of them are way too optimistic, things always go wrong, even with the best tech. Great review!
I'd say it's pretty biased considering he gets these printers for free and if he gave them an honest review he would get to know more printers
So proud to be Czech after watching this video 😁
n1sendev Because Prusa 3D printers are practically completely made in Czech republic and Josef Průša is Czech
So he can't be proud when he personally didn't make the printer?
No need to be an ass.
We're proud for our country. At least something is good about it.
We are small, so we are happy, when we see our products in the World. Thats all :)
Hey man come Czech this printer out!
SUPERB video creation.. very informative and methodically done.
My mind was blown when I saw you use the highlighter to bring into focus the facts being stated.
A VERY good product review indeed.
Another quality, informative video! Thanks again, GreatScott!
im so proud of my country,and prusa
I love your videos man! As an American your accent sounds awesome! Seriously though I’ve been wanting this printer for sometime. I want multimaterial though.
If I only had $1000! This would definitely be my first printer! I could just imagine the possibilities! There has been so many projects I have done since I started doing DIY, that I could have used a 3D Printer. But the Price Tag kills me when I try and find one I can afford. Than I see the reviews on the chepo I found, and its back to the drawing Board. It seems to get a printer that actually does it job, you have to dish out the cash for it. If I had my pick of printers, I would definitely go with the Prusa i3 MK3. Unfortantly, I will have to dream and wait for this to show up used in my area, or the price drop by 80%😊😊😊
👍👍👍Great Review Scott!!👍👍👍
For a first printer buy a Monoprice Mini or Ender 2 or even Wanhao i3 or CR-10. Nobody needs this printer.
I noticed during some of the prints such as the flexible and wood, the print cooling fan was not turned on, this could be why it stringed a bit for those two types of filament
the profiles are tuned for the type of filament, some filaments are not recommended to be cooled, like ABS, Flexibles and sometimes Wood filament (depending on its composition)
Congrats your subscribers are rapidly increasing as always I say your videos are awesome and I helps people learn new things in an easy way. Thanks
GreatScott, PLEASE get the TEVO Tornado and see what you think. its by far my best printer. and for the price tag of only 360 USD, its definitely worth checking out.
A well and throughly done review.
I like some of the 3D Printing components (including pricing) of this system as noted. I was reading about the Prusa i3 MK3 for my planned custom more versatile CNC system recently, cool to see the video review. Thanks for the more thorough review and affirmation.
Awesome, man. Liked it a lot! Great review!
A 3D Printer DIY or BUY is the highest anticipated video to me from you. ❤️
Very nice review. You are one of the best tech-RUclipsrs!
if Prusa was all metal parts It would been perfect.
After opening the box, I found a bag of gummy bears
Matthew Duncan haha, I'd see myself do that 😂😂
😂
the price is too high for me... but I'm sure I will own this one in the future! greatVideo, greatScott!
Cool it's the style of great Scott totally unique and useful love you Scott from INDIA .
I really hoped for better print quality from a printer that price. My (fairly old) Wanhao Duplicator 4 does better PLA. I am still fighting with ABS and really wish that my printer had a better and larger print bed.
It does pretty well if you don't print at crazy speeds as shown in the video, though. I printed a benchy that looks almost flawless in ~40 mins including heating. Maybe Prusa wanted to showcase the printer's capabilities by providing faster pre-sliced gcode lol
Hi! Did you've printed an enclosure for a synth? Is it expensive in terms of material and quality? Will you show some tips about smoothing a printed surface?
Ordered a Prusa i3 MK3S and needed to secure my decision ...
Thanks!
(P.S.: Umso überraschter war ich, dass Du hier in Fulda sitzt ;-) )

@@budderbrotDE Moin!
I have an MK2S and its printing very good. I have it from when it came out. If you have patience to set it up correctly, it prints beautifully. And yea, worth it! Prusa printers are the best! 😍😏
I personally like Prusa’s idea to price this at $749 so customers in the Tax-heavy States will be under the BS import tax. Thank you for this review.
It's good to see that you're ending series regarding ender style printers, as there is ton of it in the internet. Would love to see some more insight into delta printers, as it's more exotic subject.
I am planning on buying one of these. Have you considered nylon printing? It’s my understanding that the material offers you both strength an flexibility, unlike other more brittle material, and you can use yard trimmer line as the spool.
I have not tried nylon yet.
Highly recommend you check it out, for your projects that are meant to take a beating. It is tricky to work with because it has to remain dehydrated and has trouble adhering to the surface.
Maybe you've answered this before, but, if not Cartesian printers, which do you prefer? Delta? Scara? Something else?
Great review! This sold me on getting one of these.
How would you compare this against your current one?
Yes you mentioned the noise, but is quality remarkably higher, how is time for similar prints, and so on?
I have a MK2 and have always been disappointed with it having 3d printed parts. They are slowly breaking after 6+ months of use, and TBH do look a bit crap. That said, it still performs better than most better looking printers in the same price bracket. But yeah, 3D printing is all about frustration tolerance. I still havent worked up the nerve to figure out how to get ninjaflex to print in it. After a few mangled noodle events I took it out and went back to PLA!
Wireline yes and they look terrible and stringy. I assembled a kit and all the nuts would not fit properly. Molded plastic would be so much better...
Tony bro i want software name ?
where i get the software ?

@@YEJJUAKHILKUMAR Stop being such a fucking idiot.
You have a printer, just reprint the parts.
1: Buy a 3D printer
2: Print a 3D printer
3: Return the 3D printer
Kristian Jensen it seems legit.Great Idea!
not return, but send it to someone else and then forward it again and again... Meanwhile many many new printers will do the job and create and replicate.
4: Profit!
good luck printing psu, motherboard, wheels, motors, screws, nuts and bolts, firmware, etc.
the printer would be made of what you're melting
Which cause more money whether diy or buy??
So tempted to get one of these! I really want to upgrade my old 3D printer, but I have no more room in my tiny apartment. ): As it is I have to pack it away after every use just so I have the bench space to work on other projects, so definitely no room for a new one! Maybe if I sell one of my couches...
Can you do a DIY or BUY
3D Printer
It is on my to do list
Can't wait. I'll use your knowledge and experience to improve and\or fix cheap 3D printer from china.
@@greatscottlab so
So I bought a Geeetech Mecreator 2 in the beginning of 2018 for 250€ and it has even a better Quality. The only disadvantages are the noice and the smaller build plate but that's it.
why did you choose this printer? What other models did you choose for comparison? I choose between this and flashforge the dreamer. but I can not choose. this will be my first printer
Sorry, I found an answer to my questions
He doesn't necessarily have to choose printers like me and you he gets them for free so he gets an expensive one
I love my MK2 and this makes me wanna buy the Mk3
What was the size of the nozzle for the wood and other non-pla filaments? I’m assuming from my discussions .6mm would reduce tip clogging along with a hardened steel tip?
Great awesome video ! Thnxs for the detailed info.
They take up more space and the printing process is easier to film when the bed is not moving around constantly.
I have a cheap Anet A6, bought it in kit form. Now I defenately want something better. However, the price is quite high. Never the less, your video convinced me ! Love your work, great channel.
The print quality is well below what i would consider ok. Ringing, z-wobble and other artifacts. I've seen prints from other genuine Prusa I3's look a lot better.
IMHO you should get in touch with Prusa as it looks to me like there is something wrong with your printer.
Prusa has debuted a filament changer for the Mk 3. Maybe that could be the topic of another video?
One of the best printers out there.
I´ll stay at my UMO+, which is fully made out of wood :) (well, the most parts of it...)
Hast du eigentlich schon einen cr-10? Ist echt ein genial guter Drucker für das geld (300-400€)
bauernbrot mitwurstdrauf das Ding ist Müll.
Hey GreatScott! I have a problem. I am trying to make a circuit controlled with arduino, with the controlled appliance being 120 volts. Usually I would use a relay, but I want this circuit to be dimmable by the arduino. What could I use for this?
solid state relay
or a triac if you're feeling brave
Hey, just a tip, I heard that PETG doesn't get along with the PEI surface on the printer. I print with PETG so much that it's keeping me from getting one of those fabled sheets
I heard PETG is no problem for the surface. I also did not experience any problems. Flexible filament was more dangerous.
Hrdě vyrobeno v České republice :)
Pravda
You don't like cartesian style printers? What is the other type? Radial?
Delta, scara, COREXY, COREXZ, HBOT, there are quite a few variants
Thanks for the unbiased review of the mk3, unlike a lot of other youtubers who "reviewed" the same unit.
Yeah it's pretty hard to be unbiased when you get these machines for free
I read about PETG bonding to PEI so well, it'll destroy itself when removing. Did you coat the surface with something before printing the PETG cardholder?
+Felix Dietz No. Worked without a problem.
I've recently received and assembled my Mk3 kit, but am getting a "filament sensor wiring error" response during initial calibration. I have verified the wiring multiple times, and used a multimeter to check continuity in all of the connector wires. Is my sensor 100% faulty, or is there something else I can try?
Sounds to me that you bought a piece of junk I advise you to sell it and get a real 3D printer
Would you recommend the current version of this (MK3S) or the smaller and cheaper Prusa Mini?
If you dont need the bigger print area of the MK3S or want to print flexible filament, I would say go with the Mini :)
half way through 2019. is this still a good printer?
Hi scott.. can we print PCB with this 3d printer? If no , can you make a video on PCB 3d printer?..
Today I started an 8 hours print and 4 and half hours later I noticed that I was running out of filament. I've just done a filament fuse mid print. A candle and a craft knife and good to go for another 4 hours :D
My dad also got gummy bears before, from a company that was selling parts to a computer.
Usb Soldering iron DIY OR BUY...?
I put it on my to do list
GreatScott! Plz Fast..
HBS Productions but ...i see some Usb Soldering iron online
Lalan Desai yes
GreatScott! Plz we want to see the usb Soldering iron
How did you learn programming? Course or open source internet learning?
Just built my mk3 last night!
the prusa i3 is really good, along with great documentation and support - if your handy a 150 $ kit might work - or it might not .... but a original prusa i3 just works - or the problem is easy to find and fix.
Unless it's something that prusa needs to fix the customer support sucks ass.
Please make an electronics basics video about heart beat sensors.
Nice, that they added a Noctua Fan to the printer, i guess it does a lot for noise reduction
We just got the MK3s at work. I printed the batman piece first too lol
i want to replace the original melzi creality v1.1.3 ender 3 board that has the input voltage 24v and the mk10 hot end with mainboard mks gen l v1.0 plus tft 2.8 touch screen and titan aero 1.75mm 24v, is this possible ?
-on my creality mainboard at ''fans, hot bed, nozzle '' write 12v, but i measure that and i was expected to be 24 but it was 12 v both -so my nozzle theoretical is 24, but it has 12 volts on the mainboard, that is a problem? if i will buy the titan aero hot end what voltage do i have to buy it ? -the melzi mainboard from creality has a ''atmega1284p microproccesor'',but the mks gen l has ''32-bit STM32 microprocessor'' -is that a problem if mks gen l has a 32-bits microprocessor? i mean if it has bore bits that the atmega. Can it burn ? -is the melzi mainboard has theoretica 3* 12 v blocks but in reality 3* 24 volts what voltage need the mks gen l board to have ? if it has 12 volts the al that 3 components to wich need 24 v is going to be any problem ? -that 3 component ''fans, hot end, hot bed '' are in reality 24 volts, the matter if on that mainboard is 12 or 24 volts ?
Did I spy a pair of Tronex cutters? Excellent choice!
Make a video on how you make videos .. like camera , stuff , editing rig , software , stuff !
The Artillery genius is just as quite maybe even more. The first couple of days I ieșit thinking it stopped printing.
Which file format should be used for using a 3d printer with 123D Design?
So, if you have multiple of the same type of filament, but they're different colors, could you make a multicolored 3-D print?
I am interested in purchasing a 3D printer and find many reviews to be useful but there is little regarding how to create data files compatible with the printer. If I create a STEP file, or similar, from my CAD software, how would I then translate it to the printer format? Can you talk about the software side of 3D printing?
Neat! Any plans to review an SLA 3D printer in the future?
+LeiserGeist Already did one. The Moai SLA 3D printer.
Oops! Can't believe I missed that
omg, a THOUSAND EURO, this is insane! You can assemble THREE coreXY printers full of those 'new features' for that money!
How do i get a Prusa 3D PRINTER to review on my Channel, How much do i have to pay, i know they are not going to give me printer for free or do they, i am new to this so don't mind the dumb question, any help would be great, thanks
I love your job man...
What do you think about the Creality cr-10? Could you review it? I think it can also be very good and has a big print volume...
I bought one and I'm regretting it now. One of the printed parts broke during assembly when setting nuts into the printed part. Thinking I'd get a new one sent to me, I contacted Prusa. "it's your fault. Buy a replacement from our shop". What? the part was badly printed, with bad dimensional accuracy. "Doesn't matter. Pay for a new part form out shop".
Wish I knew about their attitude before I paid premium $ for hobby quality.
That's crazy. I recently got my fifth printer from Prusa and all the parts have been top quality. I've also received free replacement parts (like thermistors) from support on a number of occasions.
If you have Twitter you can tag Matt Stultz, he is Head of Community at Prusa.
Although the individual parts actually only cost a few euros.
I'm very surprised and I definitely don't share this experience!
@@JanTec3D I agree. Crazy and really unexpected. All my contact was through info@prusa3d.com so you don't know who you are going to get. The response I got was really negative and I did what I was told; I bought a replacement part from the shop. Small value only but the shipping cost wasn't good. I'm sure some have a good experience with Prusa, but in this case I must have struck someone having a bad day. Even with this bad experience I have just bought another one. At least via email there is only one, so good luck if you strike the ogre.
What I'm interested in is this process of "reaching out to the manufacturer" to receive a "review model."
I have no real presence on RUclips, but I do on other social media platforms, ...plus I can bs like a mf!
So, what is your pitch when you reach out to a manufacturer...?
Nice!!!love your videos
Hello! While watching your videos about 3d printing I noticed that the flexible filament has much smoother surface than regular ones. So I came to an idea (Maybe totally stupid) that u could make a complete project using abs or whatever, filament base and then cover it with thin felxible filament shell. Looking forward to Yours response!
I will think about it
How to do you want to cover it? Dual extrusion?
I am thinking of buying this but every video i watch makes me not to as the prints i get from my modded Ender 3 are much better than what i see...
The mk3s is really nice. The autoload, filament sensor, auto calbration, removable bed, and ease of repair are the main reason I love the prusa. It really depends on your settings and filament. I've gotten the best prints of my life on this machine.
Great video, but you really should tune your profiles, it makes a huge difference in the print finish. Some people are sharing theirs on the facebook pages.
