MINI+

This is caused by the age old problem of Bowden systems similar to the Mini. The heavily constrained filament path causes uneven extrusion dependant on the position. So on one side where the buckled PTFE tube causes the filament to be pulled out of the hotend you'll get underextrusion and on the oth

I know it hurts to say this but if you want a machine that's a Prusa Mini size right now... it's an A1 Mini from Bambu. Prusa is just never going to be able to compete in that market again when Bambu can sell that machine for $200. MK4S is sub-$700 now (in the USA as well). That's the machine to get

At the very least, it is getting firmware updates, but they haven't made a statement on improving it or putting it on EOL. The state of affairs for the Mini really is bad, unfortunately when the competition runs circles around it. Maybe your best bet is finding a used Prusa considering the release o

Idk I’ve had to do less cumulative maintenance on my 3 Bambu printers than the time I spent reseating or replacing the fucking PTFE tube on my Prusa Mini

The prusa mini is almost 6 years old ( that is barely a year younger than the original ender 3 ), thats fine for a printer you want to tinker with but it should have a corresponding price tag.

Are you sure you did the z layer calibration right? Most people do not do it right on the first try and most guides suck. Just saying as you're new to 3D printing, follow this guide to the t and see if it gets better. https://www.printables.com/model/251587-stress-free-first-layer-calibration-in-les

It's such a Shame Prusa basically abandoned the mini, I'm looking for a small printer to fit inside a wardrobe but it really doesn't make sense against an A1 mini in 2025...

I wouldn’t say that I’m not their target audience. I have owned multiple MK3’s, Prusa Minis, MK4’s and have rebuilt countless Prusa machines. In fact I currently have a core one + (upgraded from a MK4 kit that I built myself) and I am definitely interested in INDX but that price is just too high tbh

Had one Prusa printer (my first) and it was utter shit. Granted, it was the MINI+ one, but something was constantly broken.

I'm a long time Bambu X1 user and a very long Prusa mk3s, MINI+ user. But most importantly a new Snapmaker U1 user. I will just try to keep this short, Bambu X1 killed the need for any prusa printer for me. Not a single hiccup since 2 years and its been hell of a reliable machine which mostly any pr
