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.
Nice job Prusa! I like how you showed the proper first layer using real pictures, which will be immensely helpful!
Nice video Josef. @9:38 is a good photo for how the first layer calibration should look.
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!
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.
Just test printed the first object. Thank you for the instructions. It was a joy to assemble the printer myself, over the weekend.
The live Z calibration is an awesome feature! Very impressive machine.
The mk2 had that already
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 assembling my MK3 a week ago, apart from fiddling with Z-level to get proper bed adhesion, it has been working perfectly! cheers
Just bought my first printer. Very excited. Love the quality instructional video! Very much appreciated 🙏
Finished the build of my prusa a few minutes ago and am already printing! Great machine!!!
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 KZhead 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
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.
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
I will never the money for this printer but seeing it being set up and printing brings joy to me !! Nice one Josef.
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.
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 ?
Just ordered my MK3S yesterday. Super excited to start printing.
Hi, I am Hong Maker. I am glad that the Korean subtitles I made are reflected in this video.
Thank you for the subtitles!
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.
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 got my assembled MK3 today, first print was perfect. Thanks for everything!
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. 🤗
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
Just bought your MK3 Printer for my son for Christmas, really looking forward to get into 3D printing! 👌🏻
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
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...
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.
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!!!
Hi Josef, Thanks for the information videos, I'm waiting for the delivery of mine
Great video Josef, Crystal Clear Instructions ! Happy Printing.........
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.
I still can’t believe how nice or a release that print bed is. Definitely better than exploding glass.
I am sooo excited!! (Typing this with one hand while holding a white sheet of paper as the printer is calibrating the 4 corners :) )
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 just ordered yesterday the Mk3 I'm so excited to get it. I'm coming from the Anet A8. So, a big improvement 😂
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!
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 :)
Just bought Prusa Mk3 thank you for your video the setup was super easy
"So cumbersome, that's why I had never bought a 3D printer until the Prusa Mk4 came out - fantastic device."
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! :-)
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!
Outstanding guide ! No wonder why Prusa is the best !
Thanks for the video, looking forward to my new printer in Feb :)
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 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 !!!!
I received my Prusa yesterday, I have not unpacked it yet. Will do so next week, I am truly excited
Why wait a week
Glad to be a proud owner of a Prusa Mk3s since today!😁
Costs more but worth every cent. Brilliant company.
Nice checking procedure! Here still extruding plastic with older i3.
Excellent and informative video, thanks a lot. Can’t wait to receive my printer.
Got a mk3 coming mid February!!!! Can wait!!! 😆😆
I have a Prusa i3, love it. Actually considering a second for the sake of speed
Thanks for this, just built my mks3s and was having adhesion issues, and thankfully the vid showed nozzle was still too high! 👍😁
Thank you so much for that video Josef!
Great idea to make such a series of Videos , cant wait my MK3 arrives.
Josef Prusa is a brave, brave man tipping his IPA bottle towards his laptop... salute to you.
Superb quality video Joe, just like your printers.
After five years this machine comes with the same screen panel. Wow!
Every company should do this kind of videos.
Thank you very much for what you do - the manual was extremely well done and I built my Mk3 kit which came out perfectly (according to the self test everything was perfect) and I printed the logo just like on this video. The only problem I have is, what do I do with all the extra screws that you supplied with the kit! :-) Thanks Joe!
Very nice! ... i have to wait till february getting my i3 MK3 hard time to wait
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!!!!
Man I want one of these! Good job Joe!
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.
OMG cant wait! thanks Josef!
Looks as a good and improved version!
Thank you Josef I wish other Companies follow your lead
Thanks setting my new mk3 right now :)
Great product...cannot wait to either buy one or build one
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
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!
Nice promo vid there Josef. I've heard a lot about the Prusa but never seen one. Looks like a good printer.
Thank you for the video. I am considering your "Original Prusa i3 MK3S kit" as my very first 3D printer. You mention in the video to use isopropyl alcohol of at least 90% concentration to clean the bed. Most of the isopropyl alcohol we find in the US is only 70% concentration. However, denatured alcohol (almost pure ethyl alcohol, ethanol) is readily available at hardware stores. Can I use denatured alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol to clean the bed?
I just bought my first Prusa last week and already i cant wait for it to get here... 3-4 weeks to go...
i cant wait to order one possibly next month
I can't wait to get one of these
Ich habe seit zwei Jahren einen MK3s, ich liebe diesen Drucker. Der funktioniert super, würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen .
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.
Perfect explanation. Thank you
As always such a good and professional job !! carry on!
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.
Haha, I'm really miss your printed glasses! :)
Thanks for this Josef, very interesting to know how to set up correctly. I was given a Prusa i3 (I think it may be one of the very first models. I’ve been replacing parts which were broken etc and it seems to be okay, except for an issue with the software. It is a 200mm cube print area, and I wanted to know how do I get the software to reinstall on the machine. I think it’s got a glitch in it. Any and all assistance is appreciated 😊
I adjusted the Z height (First Layer Calibration) using the non-textured sheet and the PLA Prusament you included with the Prusa Printer. Ended up with a value of "-1.100", which I saved as one of the 8 presets. The prints are turning out very nicely. Do I have to change this Z height of "-1.100" if I try using a non-Prusa PLA filament or a different type of filament (PETG, etc.)?
Great job as always
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!
This is a excellent video and very well explained I am really looking forward to getting my New Prusa i3 MK3 printer I have quite a lot to learn to make model, I would like to see Josef to print a piece of a small Model in 1.87 scale Trains and container this is why I am really hoping to buy the Prusa i3 MK3 printer to make model parts for my own personal Layout 1.87 scale Trains and Intermodal Container TerminalThanks again Josef well done with the Prusa i3 MK3 printer if I can get how to learn to make parts.Kind Regards Teady
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.
Will try to get one 👍
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.
Thank you for including troubleshooting for this. I hate it when other tutorials just assume everything goes well without a single problem.
Josef - Thanks for this great video! You seem like a really straight-up guy and I love the way you are continuously striving for top quality! I'm a few clicks away from purchasing not only your newest printer (pre-ordering) but also the multi-material upgrade as well. Are there any discounts in the works for purchasing both at the same time? I've watched countless videos from all the key players that support your product, but before I go back searching for any discounts you might have running, I thought I ask you personally? Please advise and thanks for all of your work in this industry. I'm pretty good at building things, so plan to pre-order the kit rather than the built model to save as much money as I can.
Hello Josef thank you for your video and the time you took to make it. I am new to 3D printing and printers. My reason for getting one is basically for printing remote control model parts. My question is witch filaments can I use with the mk3 that will be strong enough for this type of 3D printing? And can your mk3 print with stronger filaments??? Sorry my questions might be obvious to some but like I said I'm new to 3D printing and want to make the right choice for the application I'm looking to use it for . Thank you Edmund B.
The MK3 can print a wide range of materials. PETG, for example, is great for mechanical parts :) And you can print with even tougher materials, like nylon.
sensacional suas maquinas, um dia se deus quiser compro uma dessa, hoje valores alto para o meu padrao de vida , consegui uma Easy thread ,,adorei,, fico imaginando uma dessas na minha casa seria tudo de bom amigo,,continue ,acredito ser as melhores do mercado na linha 3D,abraços!
Just purchased one today
Josef you are a legend among men! so very glad you are making such world beating progress
Josey, any chance you can make the new steel surface for other printer build size? I've love one to my Ultimaker 3.
Should be getting my MK3 today in the mail. Super stoked.
