CTC Prusa i3 3D Printer beginners guide (from a beginner)

In this video I describe all the steps I took which were necessary to make my first successful print with this CTC Prusa i3 printer. From leveling the bed, to slicing STL-models to g-code and making sure that the print sticks to the bed.

I always wanted to get a 3d printer but I think my wife is gonna kill me :) maybe I can get a sponsorship for a video in the future... a boy can dream :) great video man as always. Keep it up :)

[@basvandersluis5662]

I bought this printer for 105 Euro's. It's not super expensive anymore.

Nice.

[@michaeldenham6466]

Is there a manual for this printer anywhere?

[@julianlander7259]

My printer came with no glass and just a wooden bed with masking tape across it. Should I add a glass bed and what thickness do you recommend?

[@basvandersluis5662]

I would just try it first. The masking tape is to help te print stick to the bed. If your prints fail, you can always add some glass (5mm or so).

[@julianlander7259]

@@basvandersluis5662 Many thanks - I think I am going to have to add some glass as the print is not sticking to the bed.

[@basvandersluis5662]

@@julianlander7259 You can also try to raise the print bed, so that the first layer is pressed on the bed more firmly, or add some adhesive (special 3d print adhesive or some hair spray)

Did the t8 rods end up working?

[@basvandersluis5662]

No. I had to buy actual TR8X2 lead screws. Those work amazing with this printer!

[@tickerprint7589]

i have roblem with this 3d printer i cannot install it on my pc have you any idea how to install ?

[@basvandersluis5662]

If you have Windows 10, search for software like Repetier Host. There you select a similar Prusa i3 printer and you are almost set to go.
