The Prusa i3 is a 3D printer at Quelab. It was built when the Prusa Mendel caught fire; Ben K and Morgan G worked through a long night to get the carcass of the old RepRap disassembled and a new shell made.

It's pretty fly.

Most hardware was salvaged from the Prusa Mendel printer. Only a few parts have been purchased or scavenged from outside sources.

Parts used (to some degree of knowledge):

• Frame: Prusa i3 improved for laser cut
• X/Z axis: Smooth X-Axis for Prusa i3 with leadscrews
• Leadscrews from Amazon (8mm)
• Some custom laser cut stuff
• A modified Steph's Extruder - need Ben Kuttesch to upload to Thingiverse
• E3D V6 hotend
• A few custom parts that haven't been put on Thingiverse yet
• Electronics scavenged from the old RepRap.
• Stuff we had lying around

Parts were laser cut on OUR LASER CUTTER from SCRAP! And it looks pretty good all things considered.

The glass takes FOREVAAAH to heat up. Give it 10 minutes to come to temp after the thermistor reads the preheated values. This will help with bed adhesion.
