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

Not really I have a Bambu A1, Kingroon KPL1 and a prusa Mini+ and they are all awesome. The prusa is overpriced as heck but it's a perfect little machine for me to learn, I wouldnt have been able to troubleshoot half the things on my Bambu without starting with that Mini. Although it's the same with

Yeah and I bought that Prusa Mini+ back in 2022 I believe so it was the top dog of beginner printer, good support and performance for the price. I don't know why there is this weird rivalry between Bambu and Prusa fans.

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

Maybe. But even if, I don't think prusa will ever reach a price that would be 'casual gift for a slightly interested child' territory. Even if there is a new mini.

I bought a used Prusa Mini+ and rebuilt it to like new. That thing is unbeatable. It prints all normal stuff and I've printed TPU and ABS. I do have a Delack enclosure with lights and filters on it. Total investment around $400. .

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

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.

No, it requires manual Z offset. You want any Prusa with “Nextruder” which is basically every printer but the Mini. It’s also way too high a price for an older printer. That said, it is still a great printer.

its this one but without the enclosure:https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-mini-3/ its a pretty good printer, but I bet he has no idea what he's doing
