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!

    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.

    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'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?

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.

    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.)?

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 have about 2 hours of experience in this field lol. But my first thought was weak tension.... but now idk. I’m currently printing the Triceratops Skull... no major issues that I can see(but I also don’t know exactly what I should be looking for either).
