The Original PRUSA I3 MK3S

I used to have two QIDI Tech Pro I printers and it was frustrating having to mess with temps, slicers, filament, LEVELING, etc. etc. So I gave one away and sold another. I thought to myself, "Do I dislike 3d printing or do I dislike having to mess with a bunch of stuff to make decent 3d prints?" The answer was that I liked to tinker but not to the point of frustration.I had read about the Prusa i3 MK3S+ but thought the price was absurd. Well, I'm back and I can say that this printer out of the box is fantastic. The PrusaSlicer just works. Temps are consistent for both hotend and bed. If you like to tinker to the point of frustration, buy something else. If you just want to print, buy this.The new MK4 has dropped so you may want to have a look at that one before buying this one. This one does what I need however I may buy the Prusa Mini just to speed up parts that I am making. Regardless, I am happy.

数年前に組み立て式の同製品を買って愛用していました。しかし先月のイベント用で自分のミスで壊してしまい、修理もかなり大変そうで時間もなかったので仕方なく再購入。組み立て式の方は平日の夜と週末でとても時間がかかったので、今回は組み立て済みを買いました。当時よりも円安になっていてかなり高く感じましたが、開けてすぐに使えたのは感動です！性能は本当に素晴らしくて、半年ほど放置して久しぶりに使っても問題なく使えます。ただ、時間に余裕がある人は、組み立て式の方がおすすめです。というのは、組立することで、故障した時や調子が悪いとき、に自分である程度直し方がわかるのでいろいろと便利です。追記：ちなみに、「自分のミスで壊した」というのは、「出力した際は、最初のレイヤーがきちんと定着しているか確認すること」というルールを無視して、最初のレイヤーが少しはがれているのになんとかなるだろう、と思ってそのまま帰ってしまったときにおきました。朝来たら出力した樹脂がヘッドにべったりとくっついて固まってしまっていて、コード部分まで巻き込んで固めてしまったので部品交換せざるを得ない状態となってしまいました。それ以降は最初のレイヤーだけは見守ってから帰るようにしているので、そうしたエラーはありません。

The Prusa has performed as expected and is easily configured, operated, and updated.

今まで3台キットを組んでますが、急ぎ必要になったため完成品を購入。価格の上がる前でした。キットの組み上げも問題なくできていましたが、完成品との違いをみて一番違ったのはベルトの張り具合。自分で組んだものはベルトが緩かった。もちろんそれでも問題はなかったが、一応完成品に見習いベルトの張り直しをしました。張力を合わせるのはスマホの周波数測定アプリ。勘の良い人は何を言ってるかだいたいお分かりになると思います。あと、完成品を買ってよかったのは本国から純正部品、消耗品を購入する際に10％割引になること。Prusamentを多用するのでこれは助かります。

I am completely new to 3D printers, this is my first one. After much research I decided on a Prusa MK3S+ due to the ease of use and it being open source, however they were backordered 6+ weeks from Prusa. Then I came across this one on Amazon but the 1 star review, and the fact that there are countless replicas, worried me. I decided to go ahead with it, mainly because it was shipped and sold by Amazon and I have Prime so returns are easy. I received it in 1 week.Now to answer some questions I had… It is the + version. It is authentic, it came with the complete tool set, spare parts bag and even came with the bag of Haribo gummy bears. It is as good as everyone says.Within 10 minutes of unboxing it I was printing my first Benchy, and as you can see it turned out fantastic. I have been running it pretty much non-stop for 2 days and every piece comes out great.I have included pics of some of my prints. I have also included a picture of the registration paper that came with it, notice at the bottom it says to visit PRUSA/AMAZON. This proves that Prusa is aware of this, and working with Amazon. Just to be sure I chatted with Prusa and gave them my serial number and they assured me it was registered and had warranty (I saved that chat session).So ends up it costs a bit more than ordering directly from Prusa (because you do have to pay shipping to US from CZ on a big box from Prusa) but if you catch it in stock you can get it much faster, if that's worth it to you...
