Original Prusa MINI - Calibration and First Print 

Who is watching this video while not having any prusa printer buts really wants?

And this is why Prusa is a great company, excellent video tutorials.

I have the mk3s and I'm jealous of the LCD screen on this mini

I absolutely love it. Now I'm even more addicted. Can't wait for it. Glad to have the forum to exchange with nice people, learn, think about mods and so on. Makes the waiting time a bit more human ;) keep your awesome work going!

This looks like a great machine. I was waiting for Josef to start eating Haribo bears whilst getting the machine ready.

Eagerly awaiting the delivery of our first Prusa printer. Excited to be joining the Prusa family brand of clientele.

Congratulations on the product launch, Looks like a sweet little machine. Can't wait to see the next releases on the full size models (love the LCD screen).

I have this great machine, its my 1st 3D printer and not only is the printer great but the support and ecosystem is brilliant.

Fantastic interface and so user friendly, just how printers should be. Can't wait for news of the Max 👍

Wow, I’m so looking forward to start printing on the mini. Can’t wait for it to arrive! 😀🤩

Excited to get my Mini! Just finished building my MK3s, and it is by far the best printer I own. I've drunk the Prusa Koolaid and I love it!

im more upset that the wizard image is jo but the wizard doesnt have a wizard hat

I'm so excited to get mine, I love how easy the whole setup is. This'll be my 3rd machine, and honestly it'll probably be my go-to for most of my prints.

Setting up my Mini today!

yes!!! cant wait for my mini

2020 is definitely going to be the year of the “mini” Got my prusa mini, my mavic mini, and now all I need is a mosaic pallet mini

Very Impressive. The small footprint and screen with print preview are awesome!

Just ordered! Can’t wait for delivery in 8-10 weeks #anticipation

I am already looking forward buying this beautiful machine!

Overall a very good wizard, and the color display is very nice too. First-time setup is one area where open source firmware still has much room to improve.

I’m definitely buying one, that print looks amazing

Love the height adjustment wheel though, adjusting while running is usually a process, nice

I love this tiny and powerfull machine, thanks Josef, nice job done here! best regards from Argentina.

Can't wait for mine to ship.

Hey Josef! I think it would be very beneficial if companies started focusing on non-planar slicing as a standard (or at least an option) for the future of 3D printing!

Seeing that you've incorporated the lower mesh leveling nozzle temp to counter oozing spots all over the bed is the best part of this, no joke. All in all, this looks like a fantastic little machine. :D

Such a well engineered printer well done ...

This is the closest to plug n' play 3d printing ! Used to need a lot of tweaks and patience to make it work properly.. but this baby wow !! Release 3d printing to the mass ! Great work Prusa, you did it again

Perfect! Just have to wait for 2020 Black Friday Sale to get free shipping for 1000 of these! Can't wait!

So far 4 sad people doesn't like the Original Prusa Mini :D But we don't care as we love the Mini and the great job that Jo Prusa and his Team are doing!!

Neat ! This printer is needed in every school

Nice Printer! Good Job Prusa!

I'll hopefully get mine soonish. Cant wait to get this bad boy working in the shop!! But waitlist is brutal!!!

Woo, you made one :) So happy

Yup... Looking at me next printer right here...

Cool! Can't wait till my Mini will arrive 😁

Beautiful Prusa Mini!

I,m excited to get my Mini.

That is an awesome first ever print on any machine - and they said you would never make a stable cantilever design. Well now they know.

I will definately order one some day to put next to my Original Prusa i3 mk3s

Good machine, Joseph. Thanks for your videos. Congratulations since Spain ¡¡

This will be my second printer. Atleast if the rest of school goes well.

“We don’t have any fillament”. Uhhh look behind you

Ordered mine today, hoping to get it soon

Love you bro , I wish to have this a smart and portable printer . look awesome.

❤ Love prusa ❤ I want one 👌

I’m almost done with assembly - can’t wait for the first print!

Hello Josef , I am a happy owner of your prusa mini and I have obtained a lot of satisfaction, the interface is also excellent, only one option would be missing such as a live adjustment of the z axis, a live adjustment of the retraction speed and mm, for the rest many compliments for your work

Looking great 👍 Thanks for sharing 👍😀🎆

Just ordered one... It's going to be a long few months until the projected shipping in august. :D

I get why this has a 7 week delay. That print just looks sooooooooo god! Ordering mine today for sure!

Very nice Josef.

Thanks for sharing, nice work.

Hezky Pepo.. dobra prace jako vzdycky

Good job JP

This made me so hyped to get my mini. HOWEVER, I wish I could get it sooner because I ordered it specifically to use it on a project for school BUT it won't arrive until AFTER school is over for me. Oh well. I should have read the shipping info better. my bad/stupidity haha. Still, I'm hyped for it to get in. That test print looked gorgeous! Does Josef read these comments? I can't wait for my first Prusa.

I love watching mine load the filament. ;D

Ordered yesterday!!

My only comment for newbies would be to start off with PLA. PETG was a headache for me. It was not the filament, it was me not knowing the filament cons.

When is the prusa xl coming out

this is so cool !

cute little thing really josef

I just ordered mine

Cant wait for mine to arrive.. In September :P :D No really.. Cant wait! !

DUDE SOOO COOL!!!

awww...i want one, the print looks so neat!! i wish prusa had a layaway option XD

This will be my first printer once I’m ready to start prototyping my product design. 👏🏼👏🏼

Helpful video. You mentioned the calibration routine prints a small square so you can verify everything is good. However, you don't say what you are looking for when you examine this square. What are the criteria for deciding the small calibration square is "good?" For example, are the extrusion passes supposed to be stuck together so the square is a 2D sheet? What would you see on this square that would indicate "not good?"

I was gonna get the sovol sv03 then saw this perform a self diagnostics and immediately changed my mind

After building a Prusa MK3 and buying a pre-built MK3S (and returning both) I'm not convinced that this won't be pure trouble, it looks easy to assemble until you need to take it apart. I can see it oozing and stringing during calibration in the video etc. Nope, can't convince myself to buy.

far to mini for my needs

I love everything you do. Could you please manufacture the positron v3?

warmly receive mine ;)

mini haribo package for the mini ?

can the printer adjust the height of the extruder by itself or do we have to do it by hand every time? Also, does the heat setting in the prusa slicer affect the print? :-)

Can i use my wooden filament and TPU as usual with this one ?

I'm having trouble getting the filament stick to the bed but I am using Hatch box wood filament. I calibrate to .0950 just like you did. I did use glue it did hold for a while than it broke loose. Do I have to set to a lower settings for a wood filament? What I'm doing wrong? I did wipe the bed down with the alcohol before I use it.

For some reason my first print( the one in the usb) the first circle it’s supposed to do doesn’t come out perfect like in the video. Any ideas what may cause this?

I love how the calibration menu lets you select the filament to use. Can we get that on the mk3s?

I recently purchased the Hardened steel nozzle E3D V6: 0.4mm but am unable to calibrate it to get a solid first layer, I’ve had to lower my z to -2.000 but still am getting gaps in between infill passes (printing with Prusament PETG). Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi i got an origanal old prisma i2 printer only we lost the manual where can we download the software ??

My mini Prusa is not extruding even I checked everything!

How is this printer for printing material such as TPU? Seem to be using a bowden system. Thanks

I wanted a 3d printer that just works, almost like a inject printer. I want to focus in the end result, not the process or almost pray for the print finishes the print ok. I have an ender 3 and I almost never get a good print. I started to upgrade almost everything, not because I like to hack things, I just wanted it to print reliable but so far I haven't been able to fix it (I'm going to throw in the towel). I hope this printer works like I wanted.

One of my worries is how sharply that bowden tube bends when it's at it's farthest right travel. I realize you could just make the tube longer to alleviate that, but I like to use linear advance and as such try to keep my bowden tubes as short as humanly possible. My worry is PLA snapping in it from the sharp turn. I know prusament will never do this, but I've used cheaper filaments and found that they can have brittle spots in them, or even older filament does. Also that sharp turn might create inconsistant extrusion on the far right side from the increased friction. I guess the answer to that would be, don't buy crappy filament, buy prusament! :) It's probably fine.

what about nylon and nylon X? can it print it? can you create settings to make this a no-brainer? Is Prusia going to make its own chopped carbon fiber-filled nylon or PetG? that would be awesome!!! I've been on the fence between the original Prusia mark3 vs. Matterhackers Pulse XE, but now with the mini, I would prefer that printer if it can print the nylon and NylonX. just need the all-metal hotend upgrade and I think the mini should be able to handle it...thoughts?

wow

Hi Mr. prusa for new bigger 3d printer can you make the screen plus control penel removable and can rotate with long spring cable and use prusa mini screen? 🤔 tq

I'm a little confused that the wizard marks the Z axis as checked with the green hook, even if it didn't move, and the hook already appears before every other component is tested. On top of that, after the cut, the Z axis is way lower...

If I buy this can it make a current version of its self, if it’s the best new version tell me. If not what we need to do this ....

What's the sample filament shown in the video? It's beautiful and shiny.

New orders shipping April 2020? :-(

vocês bem que poderiam trazer uma versão em português nas impressoras

Cool machine, when your firmware 4.0 will be uploaded on the github, or when it will be open for us to take it?

A smaller nut and bolt would be cool as a test print.

Would it be possible to print a piece on the heating bed instead of the steel sheet? Or will there be any damages or quality differences?

Got my Mini yesterday, had some good prints so far, can I just ask. The recommended temp on the PLA spool says 215, but the default temp of my printer sits at 170, after watching this video it seems its 170 first layer and then automatically ramps to 210, is this correct? I haven’t noticed mine auto adjust because I’ve been manually switching to 215 just before the print starts.

Bro make an assembly factory in Romania and I'll work there to make some bucks :D

@Prusa 3D by Josef Prusa do you ship to India?

Wish i had the money for this Prusa Mini+ :( Everytime i am saving money for 3d printer, but then real-life things happen again, and the money has to go somewhere else. I cant work, duo an illness, and it would be so good for me to spend time in this hobby. Seems some ppl have more luck in their life.
