Since half an year I have been playing around with a Prusa I3 3D Printer. In this video I will present you all my experiences and problems I had with 3D Printing and the Prusa I3 kit itself. It should give you an overview of what you can expect from such a cheap kit.

Watching this in 2022. What a long way 3D printing has gotten in a mere 6 years 🙌
Keep these videos coming! This is by far the best, most ruthless, and honest introduction to realistic 3D printing. Thanks Great Scott!
Of all the 3d Printer videos I have watched this is by far my favorite. You didn't bash the printer and left that to the end user to decide. You did give concise, fair warning and a funny way of showing what can and possibly will go wrong with the printer kit for first time users like myself. You are my new favorite CZcamsr and I am now a faithful follower. Thank you for this informative funny video.
3d printing is relatively new on its own. But it's nice to see how much it has improved in only 8 years.
Hey! I NEVER comment on anything but I have to tell you thank you soooooo much! I wanted to get into 3d printing so bad but the price of a printer was stopping me from that. After seeing your video I was able to get into my new favorite hobby! :)
For those thinking of getting this printer DO IT!!! I spent $255 this Christmas and it was well worth it. Many of the problems listed above are gone. In total it took me 11 hours to build and I was about to do it on my day off. DIY is the moto of my life and if you want to learn and grow with this technology this is the printer to do it with!
+Chris Rivera You might want to check out Vulvanus V1.1 if you want to upgrade to bigger. Its really neat open source design and i'm planning to build several with my friend moment parts start roll in from over seas.
Fantastically realistic review of the build process. Honest without being disrespectful. Real life narration we all can relate to.
:)))) It's now 2021 and watching this was soooo funny. Something like "Back to the future". The video is only 6 years old, and this is when you realize how fast the DIY 3D printing scene has advanced in this short time. Please keep this video! Just imagine how people will laugh about this in another 6 (or even 60) years from now.
It’s so nice not having to skip through jlc pcb ads!!!!!
This was a great video, I'm glad to see someone finally showing everyone that 3D printing isn't instantly perfect. I'd love to see more videos about this subject.
excellent, plain, clear and simple. now looking forward to viewing your other tutorials
Even though this video is so outdated it still is more pleasant to watch than the newer ones.
I just got one of these printers it came without the instructions, not even a DVD or basic instructions so imagine how pleased I was when the link was sent to me for the video I am glad I subscribed.
It has been 3 years since I bought this. Really frustrating machine but I must be thankful, I've learned a lot how 3d printing work with this because it's all manual machine and easy to modify unlike today's 3d machine which has the limit.
Crazy to see how much better it’s gotten
thanks, was looking at this printer on Amazon and though surely there must be someone that has reviewed it on youtube. and what luck, someone that i'm already a subscriber too and respect. I simply hadn't discovered your channel when you made this. fortunately I have no anger management issues and for the price seems hard to beat. Thanks again for the in-depth review of both the good and the bad. :)
Excellent! Thank you for your candid review. Please make more videos about this printer.
Great video. I spent 9 hours yesterday building one with a friend and I completely understand the frustration with some questionably designed parts (eg, our X-axis came inverted!). It definitely requires patience and some creativity to deviate from the instructions when necessary, but it's a lot of fun to build. I can't wait to get my own and start printing my own parts.
Please keep up the good work, I'm interested in sharing knowledge on this topic.
Hi. Great video. I would be happy to see more videos on your 3d printing experience.
I think it's very useful for anyone doing a build of their own or for those who have a printer but are having difficulty getting good printed parts.
Thank you GREATSCOT. This help me to decide which to buy
Super cool, like the Voice and the way you demonstrate it all. Yes definitely keep up this good work,
I just received and built my prusa i3 from the link in great scotts description and I can confirm that almost everything is fixed. from the video (there is only one tutorial on the dvd and it is all correct) to the new and improved end stop switches to the belt tensioners, everything got revamped.
Bought basically the same one a couple of days ago (2015 model - looking forward to the build and i'll surely keep your tips in mind!)
Great video. Please continue the series as I would like to learn more.
watching this video in 2019 im very happy that these kits are getting better like anet a8 .... still pain in the ass to get it right but the print quality si way better
Great presentation. Keep making videos.
hello, I bought myself a kit, in fact 2 kits, one is a prusa and the other is a delta, both from sintron. Built it without instruction and I never built them before, I am electronics engineer by heart, I love to tinker around, I understand a lot of people frasrated when things don't work the way it should, but your demonstrated perfectly and understandable.Take care.
Hay,
ich finde deinen Kanal sehr gut! Man sieht wie viel Mühe du dir gibst und das du jetzt auch noch einen 3d Drucker Beginner Guide machst finde ich umso besser. Ich bin seit einigen Wochen auch an einem Prusa I3 am arbeiten und ich finde das du alles sehr gut erklärst. Mach weiter so :D
Play Like Clyp3um Danke ;-)
+GreatScott! Ich habe nun schon meinen zweiten 3D Drucker und ich kann nur sagen das du die Grundschwächen deines Kits gut in dem Video erklärt hast. Ich schaffe mit meinem Prusa I3 mittlerweile ungefähr 8 von 10 druck versuchen. Der Rahmen wird wahrscheinlich dein Hauptproblem sein da man ein perfektes Ergebnis nur mit einem sehr soliden Rahmen zu stande bringt. Nichts desto trotz ein sehr schönes Video und ein guter Drucker :)
Damn! I want to explore this technology but I have an anger problem!
print yourself some disposable "stress relief" things that you can smash in anger.
8Bit.Jay same
It's funny because I'm currently sending my seconds 3d printer back for returns, 3rd time lucky LMAO!
How did it go?
8Bit.Jay i had that two but you learn to work with it
I Love your videos because you are natural and give #true suggestions
Every time my parents hear your intro they know I'm about to fail at some sort of science project...
lol
Zak Ash Story of my life
badrillex my surgery? I think you have the wrong person....
hehe. I also burned a lot of things
Zak Ash it's simple unsubscribe. and then teach us what you know.
Very much a chill review and intro - thank you. :)
I like that (providing it works) you can print replacement parts for the printer, using itself.
Man, thank you so much, I am really thinking about get one of this and your video helped me to decide it.
Great video Scott. I've been looking into purchasing a 3D printer and wasn't sure on which model to purchase. I just found out about the Maker Farm kits and was looking for a good honest review. Your video was a big help.
This is great! I've also bought one of those printers and I've been working on it for about 8 months now. I've had to deal with all sorts of problems from the power supply burning out to the extruder hot end cracking. I'd love to see more on what you've done with yours.
3D printers are a great way to start inventing and this video help show that.
Love your videos Great Scott!
Much love from South Africa!
T3chNiqueBeatz Thanks ;-)
This big bluetape is awesome!
Please make more videos like that!!
Thank you for the very informative video on this particular printer as I was looking at purchasing one. Might have to do some more research...
awesome video keep it up - thank you for sharing you knowledge.
Awesome video! I'd love to see more!
I've just bought this printer from Aliexpress. £140 delivered. I am getting good results from it.
Yes, it's a bit frustrating to build, the instructions aren't that clear. But now I am creating 0.1mm prints at 40mm/s and getting some lovely quality. I am learning lots about these machines, how to set them up, where not to touch so you don't get burnt etc.
I spent the first week with it practising and making things to improve it. A fan blower that surrounds the hot end, some tool holders and a camera mount so I can view the printer from anywhere.
£140 well spent.
Thanks for the video! Really helpful tips to know for a beginner!
I was going to buy one of these but I have very little patience.. thanks for showing your experiences! I'm going to wait and shell out for one that won't be as frustrating.
Please continue with these tutorials I really like them I might as well get into 3D printing.
great mind equals great Scott!
good video, very handy for someone new to 3d prining (like me). these kits (or similar ones) have been popping up on ebay, and ive been tempted to get one.
I have made a completely different experience. I bought myself a Prusa I3 for 180 Euros. Building it worked really fine. Everything fits and nothing broke. And printing works also fine (not at the first try but at the moment it nearly works perfect at every try.)
Wow this video helped out A LOT! thank you
I bought the same printer with the same endstops and on aliexpress too. i changed the direct drive extruder for a geared motor just on the extruder Thank for the video
nice video. Thanks for sharing your experience. :)
Great Scott another great video.
Please do more tutorials and more in the software. I would love to see how you remade the parts shown.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
you are a smart person Scott good video
sir THIS WAS AWSOME EXPLANATION I WAS LOOKING FOR******
Awesome video, I am ordering a Prusa Mendel I3 hope I fair a bit better!
i am building a prusa mendel i3 einstein from scratch..today i worked on the frame and the plate..are made from acrylic they turned out real good..when I finish the build I will post a video on my channel ..thx for this ideas and for this video of course
I know this is very disappointing but hey, you are one of the people who share and would try to solve this problem.. And with more videos like tutorial? That would be very great mate.. And I would like to say thank you, not for the shared video but also the basic electronics tutorials you have.. It really helped me and my friends..
I like the idea! Let's go with it.
Très clair , excellents conseils avant L achat ( before buying )
"I can recommend it to everyone who does not have a anger problem"
i'm outta here xD
I have the new model of this kit and it works really well.
I own a prusa i3 myself with an aluminium frame. Works fine most of the time. I did run into problems with the linear bearings over time though, but nothing some handy oil couldn't fix. For print adhesion to the bed I used hair spray.
But recently I discovered how to print PLA directly on the glass.
First, I got a sheet of single glass from a photo frame and got it cut to the correct size. Ikea mirrors and double glass didn't work as they have too much thermal isolation.
Then, I made sure the glass was absolutely clean using window cleaner. Don't touch the glass with your bare hands from this point on, as the oils from your skin will cause problems.
Level your z-axis as per normal, making sure the first layer would be firmly squeezed onto the glass.
Now, when printing, put the bed temperature to 80° (less might work too, but this worked for me so I stuck with it).
This will keep the PLA stuck to the glass really well.
After the print is done, let the bed cool for about 10 minutes. Your print should come loose from the glass with relative ease.
Keep doing this videos! I want to know more about 3d printers becasue i want to buy one and all the printers in the markets are really expensive!
I got myself a folgertech 2020 prusa i3 kit for only 290 USD. It is made from 2020 aluminum extrusion and I had no issues at all. It was easy to setup and it prints like a charm. After upgrading to a genuine e3d v6 hotend I think the print quality has reached a point where it is almost as good as a 3D printer which costs over 1000 USD.
As usual, well done! Both entertaining and informative, I enjoyed this very much and thoroughly recommend follow up with the software applications and printer improvements you implement. I have been holding off buying a 3D printer but it seems affordability, maturity and competition is becoming a compelling reason to commit. My only real stumbling block now is how to get enough free time to do justice to such a project.
I'd love to see more 3d printing videos keep up thee good work
please continue these tutorial
you are doing great job ::-)
Great information video, thanks.
I ordered 2015 version of this printer. I rechieved it yesterday. Documentation is now pretty good. I will upload some videos of new printer soon to my channel!
I would love watching more videos about 3d printing !
Check out Barnecules Nerdgasm on youtube for 3d printing.. guys a proper geek
Gonna check that aswell
+Quentin Igier Thomas Sanladerer , most professional look on 3D printing on youtube, in my opinion ;)
I made my own 3d printer, built from 0 with my design and that glass over the hotbed works fantastic. I even try a print without whiping the glass, put my fingers on the printed area and it sticks very well. Now I print only on a glass piece, I whipe it with acetone before and everything it's perfect
i have the ultimaker one, and you get such a smooth clean finish compare to the other 3d printers
I love your videos and this would be very cool if you did more videos about your 3d printer
I am so glad I waited 2 years and got a cr10!!!
Great Video. Got the same Printer ago half Year or so. You can be lucky to get the old Version like me because the new Version got a few new bugs as a friend told me.
Got a Infitary prusa i3 and it works like a charm
nice/good video thanks!
If your print does not stick to the glas then you can try using hairspray
spray a thin layer on the glass and try it.
good luck with 3D printing you all
Rob.
I used caption tape for the bed surface on my i3. It works great, and a light coat of hair spray before each print makes sure your first layer always sticks.
I recommend doing a bunch of test prints to fine tune your slicing settings. Vary the nozzle temperature, bed temperature, filament feed, layer height, x and y movement speed etc. Till you find a config which works. Took me a while, but I get consistent and pretty good results with mine now.
A good starting point for pla is:
Bed: 70 degrees c
Nozzle (0.4mm): 180 degrees c for perimeters and 200 degrees c for fill and layer 1
Layer height: 0.2mm
Filament feed factor: 1.05
I also use a hot air gun to preheat the bed to my target temperature before starting my print. I find it sticks better, and I don't have to wait for the pcb heater to get it up to temp, which takes ages.
Wow… ist amazing how 3D Printers have evolved! Ive built a 350$ Printer and it prints maybe even better than the new Prusa 3 MK2 :D
SW overview would be great!
Hello sir! I'm a fairly new subscriber but I want to say that I already love your channel. I have one recommendation that echoes a previous commenter - try blue painters (masking) tape and a layer of glue from a glue stick. I use a custom cut piece of mirror on the print bed, held down by binder clips. The taped glass can usually be used three times before I have to retape. For me this worked wonders. Good luck!
Please make a series of videos regarding this topic!
I'd like to hear more about software and creating things to print. Thanks for the videos good sir!
GreatScott! I have the same model and it has taken me a while and I am every so nearly there getting good prints.
My best upgrade has been printing a new X carriage which used 4 bearings rather then the stock 2 (which I found floats).
Unsure on speeds and retractions that you may use but not 100% there but getting results that are pretty tight now even with budget PLA.
There are a couple of sunhokey groups out there, but I got a feeling maybe you have some of this to share with everyone.
3D printer series would be great :D
"I can recommend it to anyone who does not have an anger problem"
Your videos are great and your comments are hilarious! :-)
thank you this was helpful
Very good video dude! Definitely want to see more 3d printing & designing vids. :-)
great vid. I really want one but I know it will be nothing but headaches!
Octoprint tutorial would be cool. Cool Video. Just preordered the official prucal so I was curious on what the knock offs would be like.
Thank you so much. this is awesome
thank you for some advice
didn't expect this voice here but thought, oh is it Scott? and yes it was haha. see you around the 3D printer topics which will be very welcome!
I've got the same kit but the 2015 version.
I can't complain about anything the prints are just awesome!
Much smoother and better looking than yours.
The LCD Screen has been fixed in the new version but it is still horrible.
The only problem was that there was no material cooling fan which I had to buy from amazon.
Very good guide :)
I think this or the upgraded model was in the recent PrimeDay sale. WHAT A HEADACHE! There were pieces missing, one of the driver was DOA and the RAMPS board had issues. I had to have Amazon ship me a replacement kit and I harvested parts from it until I got it all working right!
Upside, I now know how to work on this with my eyes closed and I already know what parts I need to print to fix some of the issues, Y belt tensioner anyone!?
WOW! that was some work you had to do to make it WORK!
nice videos (like)
Would be amazing with an introduction to the software! Thank you for all of this, it is pretty awesome!
still no followup
Lol I completely agree with you, there are way too many variables. The humidity on the filament can also screw with your prints. I learned that after 2 yrs of owning a 3d printer lol.
Printrbot simple metal is an excellent starting point I think. You get a quality support, excellent support, an amazing warranty, they are a US company and the prints look excellent. They can be upgraded to print nylon, ninja flex and abs. I've upgraded since then but It is still excellent.
