- When you finish watching the video, read the article on What it takes to manufacture 3D printers in Europe - blog.prusa3d.com/what-it-take...
We would like to take you on a tour of our factory in the heart of Europe, and show you how a 3D printer comes to life! We'll show you the entire journey starting from a 3D-printed plastic part all the way to packing and shipping. And so much more!
Five years ago, we published the Road to 100.000 3D printers video showing our history and how we do stuff at Prusa Research. And since then, we didn't stop for a moment. New printers, new manufacturing methods, new technologies - but above all: new people! We're now more than twice as big as we were back then! So, sit back, relax and let us take you to an awesome place in Prague, Czech Republic!

Imagine all the jobs created in the centre of Prague. It's amazing what Prusa has achieved. Especially since customer support remained exceptional. Makes me Proud to only run Prusas on our farm.
Yup because that's the real motivation of running a printfarm... the fact that there were a lot of jobs created in the process and excellent customer support. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing what they have achieved. But you should really run your printfarm looking at other metrics.
Generating 800+ job opportunities is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations to the Prusa team.
BUT! A technician certification for PRUSA Partner service and repair would be awesome to open up the market in America.
@@VegascoinVegasAlready there, see PrintedSolid
@@SoulacroupLesCombes I would suggest you have a little more buffer. That way a problem at 3am isn't a big concern. Also know that you would be able to cut down 80% of your print-time without quality loss when moving on to a different model.
But I do 100% agree that their 24/7 support system is great.
this is why people support prusa: they are more transparent than any other company
I see a factory with all motivated people. Now I understand why my construction kit was so perfect: everything was there, spare material and a perfect manual. I recently built my 2nd Prusa printer, the MK4, and I am very happy with it. I wish you good luck.
don't forget the haribo bears!
Wonderful video. A little over a year ago I got my son a MK3S+ as a kit and he built it over Christmas break. It inspired him to pursue engineering and now after a year of hard work on tests and classes and applications he's been admitted to his first choice of engineering school and will be headed there in the fall. He'll have his future education and career in part thanks to Prusa!
This is absolutely heartwarming Good luck to you and your son!
I'm a Bambu user. As of now, I have no desire (or need) for a Prusa. But every single time I watch a video about the production of Prusas, I want to move to Prague and work for Josef. Just seems like such a freaking cool company.
Been a fan for years. From my first MK2 to my two MK3's and my son's birthday MK4. We are a Prusa family. Visiting the Prusa factory is a big bucket list item!
Your son got an MK4 for his birthday??
Good dad.
@@littlefrank90 I've been to the factory. Very cool way of spending 1h of your time!
That’s how to do it!
I would have loved to get MK4 to my birthday!
@@alexpanov I'd like to do that, too. Did you have to reserve a tour or something? Or did you just show up? I can't find any info on the website about touring the factory.
Hi Michael. Please contact our Support Team to make a reservation.

Watching this video just confirmed i made the correct choice in buying one of your printers. Looking forward to being part of the PRUSA family.
@@walterrldias I haven't got $1K to spend on my very first printer, so thanks but no.
@@walterrldias If you actually read my comment, i said i bought ONE of their printers. I didn't say which one. So keep your unhelpful comments to your self . Thanks.
@@ShieldJaguar so what prusa did you get if you don't have $1K to spend? Imo paying 15% more for something double as capable is a deal worth making
@@EinfachFredhaftGaming I need to say this is my first printer i don't know anything but i chose a Prusa Mini+ based on cost (i have a wife 😝) ease of use, customer service, reviews and support. I use Apple products (MacBook Air, iPhone etc) and have been very happy with my purchase. The PRUSA family is a nice place. HTH
Vote; that Prusa MED/ Honey should be an official merch item in the store.
Great video!
Yes.
It's incredible to see such transparency from a large company like Prusa. Keep up the great work!
Except for "forgetting" to publish sources... Not a real open source company...
@@JohnMarcel666 Hello John. We have a new page with clear status of our releases and explanations of our views here www.prusa3d.com/en/page/open-source-at-prusa-research_236812/
How about the burnt pancake xl model?
And the truth about the unfixable network speed due to bad design choices.. @@JohnMarcel666
This is marketing, not transparency.
I don't think, i've ever enjoyed a PR video as much as this one. Nice job guys.
All of this is exactly why I believe Prusa is achieving the right model and why you have my full support (and money too) on whatever you are doing.
We have 15 Prusa printers in our college for teaching purposes. I believe the emergence of new competitors in the market will encourage Prusa to continue innovating. We recently acquired one of these printers for our R&D lab, and I must say, they are truly impressive.
prusa research is the most transparent 3d printing company ever
Big love to CZ from Texas! Thanks for everything you do 🙏
Thanks for being so transparent, Prusa team. That and your machine's reliability and your customer support make Prusa my top pick whenever I need a new printer. I also had no idea you had real Alpacas, that's great.
As an able maker in Japan, when I had to replace my venerable Select Mini, I could have gone the cheap route of buying a kit from our giant neighbor. But I chose to make a statement and bought a Mark 3s to support Prusa’s journey. Keep up the good spirit! 👍
I remember the video from 5 years ago and have been waiting on an inhouse produced update. Blown away! Congrats Prusa team on the success and hope for a good future ahead. Love the locally sourced components, incubator, and honey??? Awesome
Thanks for a great video. I am happy to say that I am new member of the Prusa family with the recent purchase of a MK4 kit. There has been a few minor issues but your customer support turned this into a pleasant experience with fast response times and quick resolve. So happy I bought a European product.
Wow, this exceeded my expectations how much you have improved over years, even though I was on a tour during Prusa Hackathon 2019. Good job and stay strong! 💪
Really love your commitment to open source! Thank you for keeping the spirit of RepRap alive and making so many new contributions!! :D
What a great way to start a new year! Love this update and it's great to see what's on the horizon.
the reason i keep loving your product is because you guys are so much in love with it yourself
This is what you're paying for when you buy Prusa. Quality!
Yeah, it is worth every penny!
With ender 3 pro and 400$ I had spec of mk4 but foe building my own printer I can see bambu lab printer would cost what it cost to build
you guys have grown so much! i´m proud of my Prusa. someday i want to pay a visit there! Love it! greetings from Germany!
I love my Prusa MK3S+ printer. It has worked flawlessly for its first year and I have printed dozens of rolls of filament with it. I could not be happier with it!
Please release a real bambulab contender for high temp materials.
I would say an index machine, enclosed (for high temp materials), core XY, with option for multiple filamentets to each nozzle, at least 300x300x300 preferably larger or optional in Z direction to say 1000 or more.
I really like the next machines to be prusa aswell, but feature wise it's an bambulab 😔
Prusa is absolutely remarkable 🧡
Still a big fan of your product and your way of doing it. Keep rocking and keep cool printers comming.
Congratulations. I'm Prusa fan since years, and I'm still happy with all my MK3S ;) Happy printing ;)
Great video for a productive manufactures more help full for new generation, wish you good luck Prusa
Thank you for this look inside your Company and its Team 😊
I really love seeing companies grow from essentially garage operations into full fledged legitimate corporations. Very impressive. Cheers to your success!
Video jsem si neskutečně užil i jako člověk nepolíbený 3D tiskem. Děkuji!
Holy Shit! I'm amazed at all the different pieces of the production chain you've got under one roof. Thanks so much for sharing this.
YOU GUYS ARE DOING AMAZING. Just got mine and have been using my MK4 non stop.
I will always be loyal to you Prusa, the way you operate and your business model. You always be the orgininal and best 3D printer manufacturer.
Really cool to see all these tools on the line that look 3D printed and designed for a very specific task
I meet Jo at world maker faire in 2012. Boy has Prusa come a long way! Love my mini+. Thanks for the innovation.
Prusa's use of Prusa's printers is the #1 reason I keep buying them. I know they work, because if they didn't, they wouldn't have been able to send me one!
That said, I'm looking forward to the Prusa i3 SMT fabrication line ;) ;)
This is so well put together. I showed this video to my dad, and he was blown away by Prusa. One day I'd love to own one, but for now I'll keep dreaming, and watching this incredibly well done video. :)
Hey Prusa peeps - thanks so much for making such a quality product. got my MK4 in the mail on monday, and have been printing since tuesday morning. I forgot what it was like to have a functional, well made machine. You guys are the best!
i watched "the road to 100k printers.." like a million times. my favorite content. because of you i bought 3d printers. LOVE IT!
Man the amount of work Prusa put into their products is insane and even though I have never actually owned one I can tell that their products are very high quality and I hope to own one someday.
Best printers IMHO. Great times to be a Czech, I am so proud of you guys 👏👍
Man, I remember waiting several months for my first Prusa printer, a newly-announced MK3 so many years ago! Fast forward to today and my farm has 6 MK3S+, a MK4, 3 minis, a 5T XL, and an SL1S (upgraded from an SL1). And my Prusament wall has about 300 rolls of filament ready to go. I got to meet Jo and Mikolas at a local meetup. I guess I am quite a fan of this company. Soon, I hope to be getting an HT90 to round out the collection!
Been a fan since i was one of the earliest mk2 pre-orders. back in the wait-list days. It's amazing to see how far Prusa has come. It really does make me smile. Oh, and that first mk2, Now a mk2.5 still runs amazing and prints daily. Thanks Prusa!
Great insight to the inner workings of Prusa.
I am at a lack of words for the amazingness of this company. But I hope a lot of other companies would be inspired by Prusa Research.
Absolutely amazing. What a great company!
Great video showcasing your factory it looks like a great place to work. Watching a previous factory tour was the reason I got a prusa printer in the first place and I'm still a big fan today!
Jste úžasní a moc Vám fandím !
Thanks for sharing so much of how the company is working. It looks amazing!
Overwhelmed by this video and the realization that there is so much work behind everything we use lmao
Jesteście niesamowici :)! Kocham was ;) Gratuluje :)
I have been at Prusa HQ when I was in Prague, this video reflects the ambiance there really well. Kudos!
Truly amazing to see such extensive manufacturing thriving in the EU, and well done to the content team on this great video!
What an amazing video and insight into the world of Prusa, Bravo!
Mindblowing :-) I am convinced Prusa Fan since my MK3. What a sympathic company! Worth my support - and money :-) And my MK3S+ (heavily modified though) runs almost everyday since day1 and never had any big issues with it.
It's just a workhorse. And the whole Prusa Company shows how it could achieve that.
Best wishes from Bavaria !
I’m so in love with everything you guys (and girls) do! And it’s so impressive and exciting to see you growing. Keep it up y’all - happy building and happy printing! 🧡
This was GREAT! Thank you. Lots of good stuff. Congratulations.
The best 3D printers I have had the pleasure of using (and still do, every day).
i love prusa' idea of making 3d printers with 3d printers its fucking genius
Great company, great concept, great spirit! Very cool to see this coming out of Europe/Prague!
Proud to be czech ;) Cool, keep going, wishing you good luck in the future ;)
I'm a huge fan. In a sense I'm also proud of what you've achieved.
Keep up the great work.
Dámy a pánové, klobouk dolů. To, co jste dokázaly, by jen tak někdo nedokázal.
That is awesome! Great video and impressive company, you should all be proud! Keep up the amazing work!
So awesome that you also have your own SMT line. This brought back great memories from my days as a test engineer at an electronics manufacturer. Working at Prusa looks like a lot of fun!
I am so proud I could see Prusa factory live, one year ago in January moments before MK4 annoucment :)
Did you have to make some kind of tour reservation? Or did you just show up? I want to see it in person, too.
What a journey, congrats !
Wauuuuu, just AMAZING ! CONGRATULATIONS.
Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work, guys.
Thanks for the show.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing all of this. It's incredible to see, what is possible to produce within Europe. Even tho I wasn't able to get my very own Prusa yet, I deeply honor your approach of manufacturing everything in house and one manufacturer only - this truely leads to an incredible product quality.
prusa is next level !
my OG prusa mini is still working and printing very good !
what a great video about a great endeavor.
Wish you guys all the best for the future.
I just love this company. Their history, their culture, their business model, all of it. I'm saving for a Prusa to replace my current printer (it 'Ended' my hopes of a reliable printer), and I can't wait for that day to come!
Hello, it's truly incredible what you have created, including the universe that revolves around 3d printing.
I built 7 Prusa printers and 2 MMU. Three printers for myself and the rest for friends and family. I am yet to have a problem with any of them out of the box. I did have an issue once a few months into the life of one of the printers' sensors. Prusa immediately sent me a replacement for free by 3-day DHL. And, if I had been in a bind, the part is open source and it was available next-day on Amazon. ❤
Watched the video, pre ordered an XL, nice work!!!
Love my MK4. It was my first Prusa 3D Printer. It has certainly lived up to the hype.
Wow, what a way to start lol. That thing even makes my MK3S+ (with Revo 6 hot end) look old.
Amazing factory, packed with technology! I want the MK4!
Wonderful insight into how it all works. I really enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to create it. :)
I love my little print farm - all Prusa machines.
Have you started with a Prusa as your first printer?
No, I started with and Ender 3. Prusa was the first printer I looked at when I started> I first thought Prusa stood for PRinter USA!!!@@littlefrank90
Very glad to support you guys, really enjoying the MK4, and hello from Australia :-)
There are many 3D printers in the world to purchase. But remember, when you purchase a Prusa printer, you're not just getting a 3D printer.🙌🏼
Prusa 3D is an amazing company.
Very cool to see all of the behind the scenes - it's incredible what is required to build and run a company like this. Makes you appreciate the products even more
Honestly, this looks like the coolest place to work.
very cool video, my next printer will be defiantly from prusa. very proud of you all.
Thank you Prusa.
Wow, congrats to the creative team behind this video. I enjoyed every second and can only roughly estimate how much work went into it.
We started planning almost a year ago ...
@@thejosefprusaTotally worth it. Awesome content.
Great tour!
I built a MK4 kit I bought on New Years last weekend & I love it. ♥
It's cool to see the factory and assembly etc
Outstanding guys, such a fantastic insight. I've always wanted to come visit ... maybe one day I'll get the chance.
Czech company that pushes limits. Konečně
I can't wait to own my first Prusa
Absolutely Love it! My Mk 3 is still going strong (thanks to my son for the printer I couldn't afford & now can't do without!) It's awesome being part of such a unique family & watching the growth over the years has been a fantastic journey for all of you! The bold move in making everything open source has certainly paid off coupled with some great old fashioned service & back up, you are definitely on a winner!
This is why I love Prusa 👍
