Had mine for 3 years now! It's a freaking workhorse! They also released a new firmware update that adds input shaping (which means really fast printing! All of my prints have had been halfed in print time) Thank you Prusa for making amazing, reliable printers, and still caring for years old printers!
You can see that they really tried hard to reduce price when you look at the size of the haribos ;) Great video, i love the new printer! Cheers, happy weekend!
Been waiting to order one and finally did can’t wait. It’s going to be some time before it comes but I’m going to forget and just come home one day and will have one of the best days that’s for sure.
This is the printer that gives you the "total world domination" that you've always wanted 😀 awesome job dude! I'm proud that you're from Czech Republic as am i!
Watched the video once all the way through. Then watched it again hitting pause as I did the assembly. This was a pretty good guide, though a new one is needed for the slight modifications in the MINI+, but as advised, I followed along in the book to catch those minor changes. Thanks for a fantastically easy build! I'm typing this as I listen to that first test print making music in the background. :)
The instruction book isn't accurate either, though. For example, step 23 shows "connecting the Y-axis motor," passing a wire through a hole in the side of the electronics box. Neither that connector nor the hole exist.
@@jasonbailey9139 As it turns out, the instruction book has several errors in it, despite being labeled for the Mini+. This was verified by Prusa support in a live chat (which was very helpful). The lesson here is ONLY use the online instructions; the printed ones are no longer applicable.
Mine has shipped out on Friday to Australia as I ordered within the first 24 hours. Can't wait to assemble it and running once I receive it! This will be my third printer from Prusa (1 x MK3 - upgrade to 3S and MMU2S soon, plus one MK3S in the enclosure). Very detailed tutorial :-)
For anyone wondering, This printer is phenomenal for the price. What I would suggest though is just ordering the semi-assembled kit like the one shown in this video. The unassembled kit is not horribly complicated, and the instructions are great, but takes WAY longer to build than this, so I would say it's worth the extra $30 to skip a lot of the hassle.
Man, this guy can put together a kit! My mini arrives tomorrow. I have two mk2s's and one mk3. I love those machines and I expect to love this one too.
5:57 After buying and assembling a Prusa Mini, I can now understand why there are so many scratches on the rail. Putting in that screw is a pain. A NIGHTMARE. It just simply refuses to engage the threads in the T-nut.
@@420247paul Yeah, the Mini is my first printer and I'm rather disappointed. Crappy cable management, bad access to screws and nuts. Y-belt loose & impossible to tighten without a modified replacement part. Grub screws overtightened and stuck. One print comes out great, then the exact same one is covered in strings and unusable right afterwards. Definitely not the smooth experience Prusa led me to expect. Is it even worse than that with the Ender?
@@Kaucukovnik666 If the Y belt can't be tightened then it was put together wrong. Just untighten the screws to the tensioner pulley (the one at the front) so you have 2-3mm slack. Then pop one end of the belt off the part that connects it under the heatbed, then put it back on a couple teeth further (as much as you can). Now you have 2-3mm slack on the pulley screws to tension the belt properly.
@@rjc0234 Except PLA is biodegradable regardless. It will start to degrade after around 6 months of being buried in soil (source: all3dp, "Is PLA Biodegradable?", which itself sources the "Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals")
FYI for New people building there mini+ on the Y motor cable part the hole where you run the cable had bee moved. it not longer in the back it under the box. Check prusa site for photo. this drove me crazy . i thought i had a bad unit.
At 7:25, the last screw left in the bag (for attaching the screen) is a 12mm m3. On my build, it was not long enough to engage the nut in the t-slot. Luckily, they provide some spare screws. The extra m3 20mm long screw will work.
Just received my first mini+ yesterday and putting it together today 5/1/21. My manual calls for a 12mm m3 to attach screen, but the bag with the 4 metric screws contained the following: 1x 12mm, 2x 20mm, 1x 40mm. The 12mm is used on top to attach the XZ axis so I was wondering if I should use the 12mm screw from the spare screw bag. I've now decided to use the second 20mm screw to connect the screen. Maybe Prusa now knows a 20mm screw is needed, but they should include an addendum sheet of paper with corrections to the manual.
Has the design changed? On step 23 of the manual there is no hole as in the video to pass the y-axis motor wire. I used a different hole that is right next to the lcd connector hole
I ordered mine on opening day! Still waiting for the printer. I cannot wait. :) I had a Prusa at my previous work and this would be my first, very own Prusa.
Bought this printer since I thought it was going to be easy to set up. The lcd monitor wire is so weirdly put into the hole. When it comes out, it doesn’t even come out nicely. It even bends in the video too. He had trouble getting it in and putting into the final resting place. The 3 screws set up are not designed well at all. The first long screw couldn’t go in all the way so I thought it was a bad screw or something wrong with my machine. The pictures and videos didn’t show it well enough and took me an hour to figure it out. Also lining it up with the moving bracket plate is so hard to do with a heavy and weird object. Turned out I have to push hard to put the screw in. The one on top took two more hours to line up and can’t do it. Josef could put the screw and mounts on the bottom and permanent brackets to screw it in. There is no reason the metal bracket needs to move since you put it in its final position anyways. For being a $600 printer, this is really bad. I’m thinking of returning since a printer is useless if you can’t even set it up. A $200 printer is easier to set up. Says it’s easy, but it’s definitely not easy. I don’t mind plugging stuff but the way you plug all the stuff is easily fixed to plug in from the outside without opening the box. Seems simple, but very very frustrating. Josef could definitely make a more consumer way to plug stuff in. I understand if printers were first designed but it is 2023. With all the money he charges for each printer, I expected a higher attention to the set up and more features.. I hear how dependable the printers are(the reason I bought it, coming from a competitor), but it is very frustrating.
I was pretty excited about the mini printer, but it kinda looks more like a prototype instead of a finished product. I would have liked to see more parts made of steal or at least injection molded plastic. Even the 150$ Ender 3 is almost full metal without any printed parts.
Nice kit, but I'd love to see the Prusa take on a coreXY printer.. I've built two highly customised i3's with the best of both Mk2 and Mk3 worlds using your STL's.. Thanks guys for sharing the source!!! One day, when I can afford an Original Prusa, I shall grab one...
I really like the idea of using less plastic for packaging. Wouldn't it make sense to use paper bags for the components as well instead of the plastic ones? I understand that you need to seal the filament, but for the rest... its probably not necessary =)
12:06 Just unboxing my new Mini and it is really frustrating, that the correct cable is NOT in the package - now I have to first organize a power cable to switch it on………
At 7:30, this is not correct, at least not in the kit I received. First, the black plastic well into which the LCD frame attachment fits is now very shallow. It is not bowl-like as briefly shown here or depicted in the manual. Also, the remaining screw for it is the M3x20, which is too long and will not screw in far enough to tighten the LCD. I tried the extra M3x12, which is too short and also will not tighten. I had to dig up an M3x16 to attach the LCD. It's tight, but I wouldn't call it robust.
I have never owned a 3D printer before but I am growing more interested in the Prusa brand now that they are in an affordable price range for me. Are they generally noisy? I prefer it not to make any more noise than a cordless drill would.
Compared to cordless drill definitely not. I wouldn't have a running 3D printer in the room where I sleep, but if you put it a few rooms away from bedroom, you won't even hear it at night. - Mikolas
I was unable to progress past step 18 in the manual (arrange gummy bears and eat three of them) because the gummy bears melted during shipping. This video did not help either since it completely skips that step. If I just bite off 1/3 of the glob of melted gummy bear, will my printer still work properly?
So two screws into printed plastic that looks around 3mm in it's shell and 1 into a t-nut in an extrusion is supposed to keep the axis rigid? Yeah I don't see that happening.
The top plate is also metal. The frame is so rigid we even decided to exclude XYZ calibration for now, all test assembled printers (by tens of different people of various skill) were so square the XYZ calibration didn't have to correct anything. - Mikolas
Not sure if I should buy this now. Or if I should wait for a refresh. One thing that worries on me on buying this is that it does not fall under the mk3 line. Meaning that it may not be upgradable as stated on their website for the mk line of printers. Any ideas or insight? I know its a good printer. A good price. I'll prolly buy it. But will this printer receive upgrades like the mk2/3 did?
If you consider what you get with this printer compared to say an Ender 3, there really is not much left to lower the price on. And also getting it partially assembled makes it more attractive to new users and beginners.
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO CONVERT FILES TO GCODE FOR THIS PRINTER, I DO EVERYTHING ON THE SLICER AND THE PRINTER SAYS THE GCODE ISN'T MADE FOR THIS PRINTER
This printer seems like it could use a bit more rigidity in it's design. I think the linear bearing/steel rods with printed brackets construction seems like a weird choice for a cantilever design. Why not V-slots like an ender 2? I feel like it would be more rigid with an openbuilds roller system and v-slots. We'll see though, I'm gonna hold off an let the reviews come out before I pull the trigger on this one. I do like the bowden choice as I'm a weirdo who actually likes bowden printers. I like to print fast.
can you add an option to remove the PLA sample bundled? I don't print in PLA, I don't want any more PLA, I don't have any use for PLA. I'd much rather pay less or the same over throwing the sample into a landfill. This printer seems affordable until you swap the currency and realise unassembled it like $515.24AUD! and not including the import tax! WFT. You can figure out how to mass-produce a printer but not an automated way of handling import taxes.
after week of research, i just bought and assembly the machine but i use 2.30 hr to finish it. put Y axis to base is very hard for me because i cannot see a hole(event i put it on power supply as you shown). gladly i can finished assembly it. i wait to start my first print after work today. so excite, machine is good build and look awesome. ps. just small detail, i do not like the circuit board design with strange cable cover and place to hidden monitor cable it is look so amateur bad design, please make proper cable hidden place.
Some weeks ago I've ordered a Mini+. I have heavy modded CR10 and AnetA8 (Bondtech and Hemera). Also a JG Aurora. Now I've also ordered a MK3S+. I will swap out my tinkering printers with genuine Prusa and just have some reliable quality printers that aren't going to need any upgrades like the chinese machines. Although... they print fantastic. (Aurora: okayish) I don't know... my other 2 machines just look horrible. They are only built to work and with cables hanging everywhere. It's time: I need the real product now. Prusa 💪👍 But I'm afraid, I can't sell my old ones 🙈
I love your printers. Ordered my mini yesterday. Sadly tho I have to wait for 8 weeks now :( By the way: Do you have a factory outlet I can visit once the pandemic is over?
just got my Prusa mini today and it keeps restarting and giving me watchdog error when I want to print the files that come with the printer I get watchdog error. I'm getting this error straight out of the box can someone help

Hezký video, ale pokud je Mr. Průša Čech, tak nechápu proč nemá video i v češtině (rodném jazyce). Manuál je také v anglickém jazyce? Děkuji za odpověď.
Všechna videa mají české titulky, na návodu i přiručce v češtině pracujeme. Česká videa jsme dělávali, ale měly pochopitelně mizivý dosah ve srovnání s anglickou verzí. Dnes tedy raději uděláme 2 různé video návody v angličtině s českými titulky než jen jeden návod, jednou česky a jednou anglicky. - Mikoláš
this might sound weird, but i would like it more if this printer came as a fully disassembled DIY kit. I just love building stuff that's why cheap chinese DIY kits look more appealing to me. Though it's a shame they can't match prusa in quality and performance

3 screws vs. higher shipping costs due to a larger box - think about it.
can you add an option to remove the PLA sample bundled? I don't print in PLA, I don't want any more PLA, I don't have any use for PLA. I'd much rather pay less or the same over throwing the sample into a landfill. This printer seems affordable until you swap the currency and realise unassembled it like $515.24AUD! and not including the import tax! WFT. You can figure out how to mass-produce a printer but not an automated way of handling import taxes.
Nooo! Now the Haribo gummy bears pack is a snack pack. I have to rethink if I want to order the Mini, damn.
(tongue in cheek)
Wait for the XL to get a tub of gummy bears!
Mini printer, mini Haribo ;)
Swarm509 YOU STILL THINK THEY
WILL BE GUMMY BY THE TIME THE XL COMES OUT YOU *FOOL*
after week of research, i just bought and assembly the machine but i use 2.30 hr to finish it. put Y axis to base is very hard for me because i cannot see a hole(event i put it on power supply as you shown). gladly i can finished assembly it. i wait to start my first print after work today. so excite, machine is good build and look awesome.
ps. just small detail, i do not like the circuit board design with strange cable cover and place to hidden monitor cable it is look so amateur bad design, please make proper cable hidden place.
I'm so looking forward to my pre-order Prusa Mini.
Some weeks ago I've ordered a Mini+.
I have heavy modded CR10 and AnetA8 (Bondtech and Hemera). Also a JG Aurora.
Now I've also ordered a MK3S+.
I will swap out my tinkering printers with genuine Prusa and just have some reliable quality printers that aren't going to need any upgrades like the chinese machines.
Although... they print fantastic. (Aurora: okayish)
I don't know... my other 2 machines just look horrible. They are only built to work and with cables hanging everywhere. It's time: I need the real product now. Prusa 💪👍
But I'm afraid, I can't sell my old ones 🙈
9:18 there is not a hole there on mine?
What if you (just accidentally) eat screws and put there harribo instead of them? :D
Josef prusa is such a fun name to say
Still anxiously waiting for mine to ship!
Same. Hope you get yours soon.
I love your printers. Ordered my mini yesterday. Sadly tho I have to wait for 8 weeks now :( By the way: Do you have a factory outlet I can visit once the pandemic is over?
Looks like this might become my first 3D printer later this year. But why would one remove the screen protector?
Tuulikk it’s just that little plastic film on screens to keep dust. Off it if you can’t figure that out, Maybe 3d printing is not for you
@@AquaticSCP I know what it is. I mean, if it protects the screen, why not keep it on?
what does the filament sensor do?
just got my Prusa mini today and it keeps restarting and giving me watchdog error when I want to print the files that come with the printer I get watchdog error. I'm getting this error straight out of the box can someone help

My orders coming Joe but you made me laugh when you said how you have packed the Plastic making wirrly-gig BUT it has ?Almost no plastic in the packing? He he that cuts me up Sir!..I can't wait for my "plastic FREE Box"!! to arrive at my door
Was this the kit or the pre-assembled unit?
Pre-assembled
I wish there were a color LCD upgrade available for my MK3 : (
Custom screen custom firmware and there you go easy
Can we get a video on prusa connect?
Hezký video, ale pokud je Mr. Průša Čech, tak nechápu proč nemá video i v češtině (rodném jazyce). Manuál je také v anglickém jazyce? Děkuji za odpověď.
Všechna videa mají české titulky, na návodu i přiručce v češtině pracujeme. Česká videa jsme dělávali, ale měly pochopitelně mizivý dosah ve srovnání s anglickou verzí. Dnes tedy raději uděláme 2 různé video návody v angličtině s českými titulky než jen jeden návod, jednou česky a jednou anglicky.

Please make a video like this for mk 3s it would be very useful
Buying this one just for the gummy bears. I better not be disappointed.
this might sound weird, but i would like it more if this printer came as a fully disassembled DIY kit. I just love building stuff that's why cheap chinese DIY kits look more appealing to me. Though it's a shame they can't match prusa in quality and performance
