Prusa Printers for sale

[Wayne]

We have 2 Prusa i3 MK3S+ and 2 Original Prusa MINI 3D printers for sale.

We are making some changes to our print farm at Aloft. The Minis have upgraded extruders and other upgrades. The i3 MK3S are 100% stock. They are rather low time and are currently being used, there is NOTHING wrong with them, perfect condition. All of them have filament sensors.

Brand new the i3 MK3S sells for over $1000 built, you can have ours for $800.

Minis are $459 from Prusa, you can have hours with the upgrades for the same price.

These are great printers for production or for hobby uses. Prusa is known for the excellent quality and support.

We strongly suggest local pick up for these.

As you said Prusa is known for excellent support. But does this unit come with Aloft's excellent support? Seeing what Rafael has added to many print files I was wondering if his insight can be called upon. I'm thinking of what he did with the Print-A-Plane files for the Seagull. Each run of gulls just kept getting better and better!

Seeing how I like the Seagull and that it needs maintenance this might be what I need, $500 of support equipment to support a $120 airframe.

You can stick on me for the support. Will be my pleasure to help you get perfect prints

I'd like to put a hold on one of the Prusa i3 MK3S+. I'll try to be up that way on Tuesday.

[Wayne]

We will let you pick the color.

 

[Konrad]

I thought it was like to paraphrase Henry Ford. I can have any color as long as it is orange

 

[Wayne]

We have a Black one and an Orange one.

 

[Konrad]

The black on is gone! Thanks Aloft (Wayne and Rafael). The unit was running a print job when I was at Aloft so I know it works. When I got home I plugged her in to make sure she still worked when unplugged from the print farm. Yep she runs in my shop. Literally all I did was add the green filament.

Now the hard part reading the manual!

Now the hard part reading the manual!

Adjust your z offset, you're too close to the build plate
Also make sure you're selected the right one in the printer menu as I showed you, you're using now the smoth one
Run the first layer calibration in the printer menu for the best first layer

 

[Konrad]

Thanks (ref pg23 of the manual)! Like I said I just plugged her in. I thought the head was too close and plowing through the puddle.
The wife came home early, so I had to give her the attention she demands.

Is one printer still available ?

 

[RafaelAvila]

Yes. We still have 1 prusa mk3, and 2 prusa mini

 

[ORRich]

How do any of these compare with the Dremel? My 13-year old son is looking for a printer but I know nothing about them

 

[Konrad]

They, the Prusa, are the Cadillac of the bed thrower designs.

 

[Wayne]

With the new firmware they just released, Prusa printers can print a lot faster than they use to. We did their Benchy sample in 15 minutes and it looks decent.

 

[ORRich]

Hi are there any printers left?

 

[RafaelAvila]

Hi are there any printers left?

yes we still have some

 

[Wayne]

We are now running the new beta firmware that makes the mini's pretty darn fast. Well worth having!

@RafaelAvila,

I got one of the Mini's from Aloft. I've gotten 1 successful print but most prints i attempt fail when the print comes off the plate and starts moving with the print head. I'm using the smooth plate the printer came with per Prusa's recomendation.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Hank
