The Road to 100,000 Original Prusa 3D printers 

did i just watched an almost 30 min long advertisement of a 3d printer company and enjoyed it ? D:

Funfact #1 this video was in the works for many months and during that time we shipped over 30k more printers so we are at 130k now 🤷‍♂️🥳🎉🥰

Dude, Josef is an absolute legend. What a story. Building up a company.

25:21 Imagine being that guy who typed the message and think that everyone forgot this embarrassing moment, and then you see this

I was gonna buy a different printer from somewhere else... but I love what you guys are doing I’m placing my order tonight 🤝

Two thumbs up for the fantastic video production!

Great documentary guys! Worth watching from the first to the last second. So awesome to see what you have achieved in the last years and how you help raise a generation of makers!

Rest In Peace Buddy, you are immortalized on thousands of printers (and my laptop), you will not be forgotten

27:03 it is enough to make a grown man cry... no seriously, i pay respect for your dog and i condolence your loss. You josef seem like a genuinely nice person that everyone should show love to, all you do is give to the community which is very nice

This video literally brought tears to my eyes! It is such a fantastic story, from the most humble beginnings to the giant that Prusa is today. I can only imagine how much fun it must be to work there! I am eagerly anticipating my first Prusa i3 MK3S+ in the next couple of weeks! Can't wait to get started...Thank you to you and your team for all that you do!

The Prusa MK3 literally changed my life. Thank you Josef for never giving up!!!!!!!!

This was excellent! You’ve done great things and I’m so excited for the future of Prusa!

Great video! Really cool to see the growth. Thanks for putting this together.

I just spent 30 minutes watching an advert, enjoyed it and felt hugely motivated. Looks like they have had so much fun on their journey, but lots of hard work!

I still have my prusa mendel from 2011, just added a bltouch probe.. Love the story and the fact that your approach is viable in our world is a bright light in a world where most news otherwise speak only about the dark sides of humanity. Cheers!

This RU-vid recommendation are the best I've ever seen EVER! It's the first time I watched a video explaining with details about how a company grow from zero to success in such a beautiful explanatory. You are true hardworkers Josef!

I feel special to have 1 of 100,000 of the worlds best printers!

Josef you are amazing and inspiring. Thanks for creating a behind the scenes and for recognizing what a great team you have. I enjoy supporting your community/company. I am so sorry to hear about Buddy!

This has to be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen

This was very heartwarming. I got the idea/desire of getting a 3D printer in the near future a few days ago and while initially (after 2 days of research) I was between a few brands and models before watching this, I'm fairly certain that now, after watching this, my first printer will be a Prusa. Sure, the i3 MK3S might be 2x more costly than an Ender 3 Pro, but seeing all the hard work, dedication and passion behind the scenes in your company makes it well worth to support you to keep going and to make even greater things. Best of luck in the future! :)

The end broke my heart. Sorry to hear about buddy. Great video Josef. Thank you so much for all the extraordinary work you've done.

The beautiful Ironic part to all of this is, that we see you and your printers everywhere and Bre Pettis is nothing more than a bad memory to the Reprap community! LOVE IT!

Prusa changed my life, I have several Prusas now and can print and sell my classic ocean liner ships. You guys are changing the world. Thank you Josef Prusa and all the team.

What hit me most it was that Buddy lived only 5 years. But I believe he was a part of the success and helped you in a times of sorrow a lot ...

I'm sold. I've been on the fence between a few different companies for my first printer. Prusa gets my vote after watching this. This the kind of company & community I want to support.

So many companies should look at this video and learn how it should be done! Keep it up guys!

I love your videos and printers I am only 14 but I spent all my savings on the original Prusa i3 mk3 just to invent and explore. Thanks joe And why was there a printer on a train at the beginning?

I didn't know that Seth Rogen was a 3D printing genius.

I don't know why but I just keep watching this video every now and again! Thumbs up to Prusa 👍👍👍

the quality of this vid was just like the quality of everything else this company does. perfect

This is seriously a really wonderful story. I think I might be finally sold on getting a 3D printer! Congrats guys!

I still have not bought a 3D Printer, but my first (of 8) was based of the Prusa I3 so thank you for that. inspiring journey. Congratulations!!!

I'm putting my Prusa MK3S together right now. I'm so impressed with this kit. Job well done.

I am very impressed. I came across the video by accident. Crazy to see how this company has grown. Crazy to feel so much passion in a 30 minute video. I didn't know Prusa and wasn't planning to buy a 3d print, but an i3 MK3S will be ordered soon. Amazing.

I knew nothing about Prusa printers before this video, besides the name. I now feel like when I finally can budget it, my next printer will be a Prusa. The passion just oozes out of this video and I would love to support that.

Thankyou for sharing this story. It is very inspiring how you have grown and evolved. Thank you again

It's insane to see the way you evolved ! and as a young engineer student it gives me even more confidents and hope for a wonderful futur, Thanks for the work you're provoding !

Josef, you run an amazing company. And while I don't own one of your printers...yet...I have watched this video countless times over the past year and a half just because it keeps popping up on my suggestions. And every time I get to your In Memory screen for Buddy, as one dog owner to another who has gone through the loss, I tear up. Thank you for all you do!

Josef, you're an amazing example of honest and human entrepreneurship. Congratulations for your well deserved position as a Company and all the people working there. This is no ordinary feat you've accomplished there and continue to achieve again and again without losing focus of your core values and philosophy. I wish you to just remain as you are and go sky high for all of our enjoyment and creative pleasure. Thank you!

I am 19 yo polish guy, bought MK3s from my whole savings few months ago. Nothing to regret, prinitng 24/7, learning things about it and doing amazing stuff thanks to your printer. You're really breathtaking, wish i'll have opportunity to meet You in future

nemám slov, proste super, fantastické s čím všetkým si sa musel vysporiadať, klobúk dole čo si dokázal vybudovať. Máš môj obdiv, a si môj vzor :o

Most motivating video I seen on youtube. Fantastic job, I purchased the mk3s last week, glad to be a part of a wonderful experience.

I am so proud that someone in my country made such an excelent and growing company that changed the world of creativity

Currently saving up for my first 3D printer. After watching this and another video tour of your building I am 100% sold on picking up a Prusa.

Pepo tvé tiskárny jsou ty nejkvalitnější co jsem kdy vyděl. Pokračuj ve výrobě tiskáren a nikdy to nevzdávej.

Jakub helped me with my printer once on chat support! This video makes me wish I could work there.

I still have the improved mendel i made when the files were released. Yeah its a combination of parts and upgrades from both prusa and the open source community, has different electronics and different frame parts, but I learnt so much doing it and I have you to thank. So many people you don't know have benefitted from you and your teams hard work...... Thankyou dearly for doing what you have done to make my experience possible.

After this story, I would probably have opted for a printer of yours.

I LOOOOOOVE my Prusa printer! It just works! My other printers have constant clogs, breakdowns and failed prints regularly. My Prusa MK3S+ is amazing. It just works. Fantastic prints every time. What amazes me is that they have thought of EVERYTHING: the slicer is awesome, no need to really think just throw in the model and slice. The PINDA bed levelling is top notch,, the run out sensor, changing or inserting filament. The prints come out perfect every time. The prusa printer is the only one that prints perfect prints even with a cheap filament. And their own filaments are also amazing. I can go on and on. Thank you for these wonderful machines!

I was just gifted my first 3D printer from my dad. An Ender pro 3, now I know my second 3D printer will be a Prusa. Fantastic company!

Initial Me: let's watch a bit Final Me: watched the whole video 😅 Thumbs up for everything 👍

A huge bravo for all your work, nothing is by chance. I hope you and your team are proud of everything you done ! I send you a lot of love from France, proud to be a PrusaMaker.

Thank you, Josef and your team and staff for amazing printers, with amazing quality, instructions and support! My first printer was a kit with 6 photo-only steps and it was a disaster. I still want to get it running again, but my MK3 takes all my free time, I love it so much and I can't wait to buy multiple MINI'S!

well i'm a newbie in 3d priting, actually didn't even get my 3d printer yet ( coming 1st week of may 2020) and a friend over italian 3d printing community pointed me to this video: AMAZING ! it's just beautiful to see how you started and how things are going ! Congratulations and happy printing !!!

I placed an order for a kit just yesterday. I found a local 3D printer business that uses a lot of your printers, and he gave me the advice I needed to place an order for a kit. With 50 years in heavy truck fleet maintenance, I'm changing up what I want to do for myself with my mid-fifties Ford car and truck hobbies. Next is to get going on the software I have and get things made. I'm super happy for the stages your business has gone through to get where you (and your team) are now Joseph! BRAVO! 🏆🏆💪💪😍😍😎😎

23:40 *zooms in on 420* sly dog XD

Love my MK3's, but I'd really like a larger Core XY style machine from Prusa. Maybe for 2020?

Dude, Iam amazed by your passion that pushed you to reach where you are now. I am happy fo you.

I am actually emotional right now about your success. I was watching your video and the one about your prusa farm and it gives me inspiration that I can somehow build my small business. I am starting my small business in 3d printing. I had 2 3d printers from other brands but it gives me frustrations instead of production. My husband bought prusa I3 and I was amazed how accurate and problem free it has been giving me. I was able to produce prints that are high quality print for selling. Thanks Prusa.

Still watching this video every now and then and hoping one day my company would be as successful! thank you Josef!

I must say I've been debating getting a mk3s (cause the price is a little steep), but this whole video honestly has won me over. I'm definitely getting one now. 💙

What a great success story. Congratulations to you and your staff. I think my next 3D Printer may just be a Prusa now!

I have a chinese printer and have been saving for a Prusa, with free shipping I'm done saving 🥳

Amazing Story!! Just joined the world of Prusa today when my printer arrived!!!

I got into 3D printing a month or so ago, and went with a JG Aurora A5S. I started looking into a smaller printer that I can use for more precise work so I don't have to change nozzles often, and when I stumbled upon Prusa, I've heard NOTHING but glowing recommendations and feelings towards the company. Still going to be buying a Mini when I can afford it (spent too much on filament) but I found the stl files for new parts! So happy to see a company that is so open with their community!

"Who knows how many degrees fahrenheit that is!" HAH!!! :D

A heart-felt congratulations, Josef! Your printers are my favorite - and mine is always running without issue - unfortunately I can only afford one, let alone 500+ :P. I was fortunate enough to meet you in 2014. I wish you all the best in the future! The dream is adding the Mk3S with a multi-material to the printing family (I guess making a family of 2). Cheers!

A wonderful presentation. It's great to see the history of such a great printer and clearly a spectacular operation.

The longest and most satisfying ad i've ever watched. 27:18 minutes. I now more about Prusa than 3d printers or any class from my university.

Oh my gosh, I mean, this whole story is AWESOME! Josef Prusa is hand down a fantastic human being! So humble as well.

This is just straight impressive! Thanks for making this great behind the scenes and journey video. Stories are everything and you guys have a great one!

Průša jede! 👍 Probouzí v nás pocit vlastenectví i mimo hokejovou sezónu 😁

This one really needs an update, Jo.

Truly Incredible, feeling proud that I have purchased my first Prusa printer and to be supporting such an amazing company!

Ok this is crazy! Josef thanks for what you do

Watched this clip for the fourth time.... amazing story

Already liked before finishing the video. Proud to be a Prusa owner! Looking forward to more great things from you 💖 Edited to add: what an incredible journey! Thanks for sharing this video with us 💖💖💖 ps. Still waiting for a large-scale Prusa printer! 😁😁😁

PRUSA CONGRAGULATONS YOUR PRINTERS ARE A KEY TO MY SUCSESS

Congratulations on building a leading company from the ground up. Your dedication to product quality, development, and customer support is the foundation of your success. Keep it up.

A special thought to Buddy and thanks to you and the whole team for all you have and will do for 3D printing!

Fantastic story and wonderful video on it all!

I clicked on this because I thought it meant a printing farm of 100.000 :D

Please make a huge build volume 3d printer

I know this is a bit older video, but just wanted to say this was such an inspirational video from a business start-up and growth point of view. I'm creating my own product ideas and working from home using outsourced parts and expertise for what I can't make. After two years of development I'm about to launch my first physical product within the next two months, so watching this video was perfect timing. Seeing how you grew the business was wonderful as sometimes I get frustrated, but I don't give up. Real life stories like this really help keep up the "I can do it" faith, so to speak.

Surprisingly the general public still doesn’t know what a 3D printer is! I just bought my first Prusa and everyone I’ve discussed 3D printing with either has no idea or think I’m referring to something else. This industry will have a long life and I’m excited to finally be here!

Ich sehe das Video immer wieder gern. Zeit für einen Prusa Printer für mich. Let´s make somthing fun!

I´ve no 3D Printer but this video was cool. That happens with visions!

6:24 Thank god I'm not the only one giving my printer a name.

LOVE your comment about helping to create a generation of "Makers" which has been missing.

My MK3 arrived the other day, had a Ender5+ highly modified but always needed love to get a print, I am blown away on how good the Prusa printer is, worth every cent

What a great fuckin’ company. I’m buying a Prusa printer based on that fact alone.

Josef Prusa, I take my hat off to you and your team. What an amazing journey. All the very best for the future.

If I will ever be in Prague, I will stop by for sure! I'm waiting paitently on my printer to arrive, but this video already gives me the feeling, I bought something with heart and soul. I'm happy to support such a young company by buying their products!

Looks like a cool company to work at. Can I apply in case I get fired from my current job? :D

Wait... That means Buddy Is dead? I watch whole video its so interesting... Am from Czech republic

I had never considered a Prusa until I watched this video. From very humble beginnings to where you are now...wow! As soon as we get through this global COVID crisis, I'm going to pick one up! This was awesome to watch!

What a fantastic history of a very innovative company. I love my Mk3s/MMU2s and Mini and can't imagine owning another brand for my 3D printing needs. Thanks to everyone at Prusa for your amazing ideas and hard work. I wish you many more years of success and here is to even larger office spaces!

Loved every bit of the video. It's great because it doesn't feel like a commercial. Instead it's just a guy telling his story of turning his passion into a profiting company. Amazing

Czech people are wonderful people. A community workshop? Unbelievable ... A businessman with character.

I can't believe that you only have 87k subscribes, you should have millions! You should be a RU-vid God! Smiting non believers all around your, Smite them, oh you Mighty Smiter!
