Hey, thank you for your nice comment. Yes it’s been a lot of fun putting all that together. I really enjoyed the printer. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
On my MK4 cleaning the print sheet with isopropyl alcohol before each PLA print has solved any problems with prints lifting. I just found your channel. Will continue to follow your XL adventures,
Yes, thank you for your advice. I’ve been using the 91%. I isopropyl alcohol to clean the build plate and it does seem to help with prince lifting. It seems that PLA lift more than PETG take care. Joe.
Love the idea of using a fire alarm underneath and a fire suppression system above the printer! My wife is sensitive to having a 3D printer run unattended for this very reason. I’m sure that this would help ease her mine. Amazing idea!
Hey, thank you so much for your kind comment. Yes, it’s a very straightforward installation and that fire extinguisher is incredibly effective. It’s used in race cars and other things. Also a smoke alarm that fits inside the printer. I think makes a lot of sense. Also, when it was an easy. I just stuck it on the back so thanks for your comment. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you very much for the comment. That’s a great idea. Yes I don’t wanna make a filament role with multiple types of filament that would be a bad deal. I think I will use an empty filament bag that keeps the moisture out and label it with a marker. It’s probably an easy way to do it. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Gday, This is an Excellent Video, I don't own a Prusa but I own many Creality K1 max printers & others. This awesome detailed video, I like the safety idea of fire alarms and other safety concepts you have covered everything well in a fantastic video.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoyed putting these videos together and I love my printer. It has been so much fun and now I’m learning Fusion360! so hopefully I’ll be a better creator as time goes on. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
@@JosephHunstad That's great, Never to late to learn anything, especially technology. 3D printing is awesome for DIY it awesome for garage workshop equipment and so much more. I too have many more videos to come on my channel so check it out if you like with more videos coming this week. Fusion 360 is great. I too am learning it as well for prototype and workshop builds. Keep up the awesome work
Thank you very much for your comment. I really have enjoyed this printer. I’m gonna upgrade to the five head one coming up. That’ll be another video. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Hey there thank you very much for your nice comment. I’m going to Upgrade to the five head Prusa XL. So standby for that video coming up. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
You can’t go wrong with a Prusa printer number one and if you want big capacity, the XL is the way to go. I started with a one printhead one extruder now I’ve upgraded to a five. Standby for that video on the Upgrade. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
I see you are using the Encloxure I have the a 2 head which i upgraded to the 5 head i have been trying to print polycarbonate with the enclosure closed and found the high temps required for PC i get heat creep blockages that kill prints now where before the enclosure i mostly only had to deal with warping and problems related to that warping off of the bed.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I like that enclosure a lot. It was fun to build and I use it continuously. I have not used polycarbonate so I can’t comment on that. Pelle and PETG work great. TPU or flex doesn’t work at all. I’m having a lot of trouble with that and I’m very frustrated. Do you have any TPU suggestions? I hope you can resolve your issue with polycarbonate. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
So I measured the printer itself which is 20 x 25“. It’s also very tall. The table I have it on is 28 x 34“. So they have to be pretty big. Particularly if you want to have a filament dryer sitting on the side of the printer. I have a filament dryer on each side. If you do purchase one consider clicking the link in this video, it will help me a little bit and the price to you is exactly the same. Thank you. Joe.
Thank you for your comment. The printer comes with a standard nozzle and then the nozzle adapter so you can order the small little nozzles. It also comes with a fine wire to help unclog a nozzle. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thanks for mentioning my sheet holder. Would you like to post the printable link of it? Would be nice! Thanks for your Video! Thumbs up Also, i have a curved version, which doesnt resonate!
You bet I will. I will place that now you also made an improved version that has two slots to position it further in the back but I was unable to find the MF or STL file on that I can’t print it. Can you send that to me? Thanks, Joe.
Never mind I found it and I just put a link to your files. I’ve printed a number of things you’ve made. They’re all excellent. Thank you for contacting me. Take care joe.
Thanks for your note I just printed the curved version. It looks great. I’m going to install it today. It was a little difficult to cut out the notches
Nice review Joe! Wondering if any different kind of material you'd like to try for 3DP'd parts? We'd love to sponsor and reach any potential collab together? (PCBWay zoey)
Hello there. Yes I would enjoy collaboration. Let me know the products that you’d like me to review. This printer is pretty amazing and I think we could highlight your products with it very well. Thanks. Joe.
I’d like to know what products are available. I’ve used PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU(not very well), I have not tried the carbon reinforced fiber or others. Thank you. Joe.
Nice to see a kitted out XL, great mods you've added!

Suggestion..
If your future plan is to reuse that waste filament. You will want to create a bin for each filament type and label it as such.

What size table would best hold the xl. I’m going purchase soon and want to make room for it.
So I measured the printer itself which is 20 x 25“. It’s also very tall. The table I have it on is 28 x 34“. So they have to be pretty big.

@@JosephHunstad Thanks. so is it 25 deep by 20 wide ?
Yes, it is 20 inches wide and 25 inches deep
Finally about to convert my oreorder...did that nozzle kit come with the printer??

Dr Joe thank you for the great video are you happy with the nozzle adapter prints
I haven’t used the adapter and the small nozzle tips yet. I’ve only used multiple.PRUSA TIPS. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
what field did you get your doctorate in?
I graduated from Mission State College of human medicine as an MD and I’ve been a plastic surgeon in Charlotte for 37 years
