The highest quality per dollar printer.

I have owned 5 3D printers over the last decade and by a wide margin the Original Prusa MINI is my favorite. It is worth far more than the retail price.
It took less than an hour from unboxing to printing QUALITY prints.

The new control board with built in ethernet and the amazing Trinamic 2209 drivers makes this one of the smoothest, and most versatile printers out there.

The flexible steel print surface is one of those features that once you use, you can't use anything else.

The integration with PRUSA slicer makes creating g-code trouble free and FAST.

I've got to hand it to PRUSA, I would have been terrified to launch this product because I'd be afraid it would eviscerate sales of everything else they make.... it's that good.

Thumbs up

To improve: screwing the 2nd and 3rd nuts for the base & Z connection was moderately difficult.

Pros: incomparable assembly time, simplicity & ease vs MK2S MK3S SL1. Small footprint. Idea of 2 Minis vs 1 MK3S speed is awesome. Mini is unfathomably cheap compared to MK3S.

Wanted: More Mini assembly as printed part design is interesting to look at and assembly is educational. XL release.

Another!

I have been printing with a Prusa I3 MK3S since March of 2019 and have had nothing but good things to say about it. There have been few issues (really nothing more than clogged nozzles and a wire I damaged when changing one of those).

I've had my MINI for about three weeks now. It took me roughly an hour from the time I cracked the tape on the box until I was adjusting the Z-calibration. Watching the assembly video before starting was definitely helpful. I don't know if I would have been able to figure out where to put all the cabling without it.

The color LCD interface is an excellent improvement over the Mk3S. Its smaller build plate can still handle something like 90% of the STL's I had acquired to use with the MK3S. I'm very much looking forward to managing the printer remotely over the network as that functionality becomes available.

Since I got it built, I have barely given the little guy a moment's rest, and it has risen to the challenge. I am getting excellent quality with no tuning required from the stock settings in PrusaSlicer. I like it so much that I am already considering ordering a second one.

Awesome!

My first 3D printer had to be a Prusa after watching the Prusa Factory Tour video on YouTube. Prusa has amazing inventory management and quality control processes that yields one thing: an amazing product. Prusa knows what they are doing. This was a no-brainier. I just received my printer 2 days ago and have already printed over 20 hours using both Prusament PLA and non-Prusa PETG and the results have been flawless.

This is our 2nd Prusa 3D printer - I bought this one for my wife, who ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT! She has been printing non-stop for 4 days since she built it, without a single solitary print failure! She's even tried using some really old brittle filament that I wouldn't touch and IT WORKED GREAT! I am impressed, and I have a happy wife! Thanks to ALL at Prusa Research - WELL DONE!

This printer is brilliant!

If you are looking for a first printer look no further. Amazing Print quality. I do have so much fun with it. My first 3D printer and it worked right from the start. Thanks Prusa!

working well for a beginner

The Prusa Mini is my first 3d Printer and it works really well for me.
Up until now I printed with PLA and PETG and changed the nozzle from 0.4 to 0.25 and back to 0.4 without problems.

First FDM Printer

This is my first FDM printer and I love it. Hit print, walk away, come back when it's done with no problems. Reliable and great prints. Planning on buying another Prusa.

Pretty good so far!

Awesome introductory tool to 3d printing! Really good for small things. Kind of tricky for bigger things, still learning.

My First Prusa

I have to say it was one surprise after another with this machine. A little backround. I have 4 3D printers at present. My first was a Tevo Tarantula, (the old version...); second worst printer I've had. The next one i got was a Flashforge Creater Pro. Overpriced and with a smaller build plate than the mini but almost 3x the cost. Then i purchased the Tronxy X5S. I somewhat knew what i was getting into as i was tired of having a small printer. I wanted something with some serious build volume. 7 months later and hundreds of dollars in upgrades, it's printing ok. The good thing is it prints consistently now. I also purchased a Pxmalion Core i3 which was a piece of junk.

And then there's the Prusa Mini. Holy crap. I opened it to find two things. One, there was a face mask included to showcase how i could help with the pandemic effort. Then there was the stickers.....I yelled like a little girl as i grabbed my favorite bottle and added a new addition to my collection. We guys in the armory tend to like to decorate our bubba bottles and hydroflasks with stickers so it made me really happy.

The build was a piece of cake and i was surprised by the excellent quality. My first print had issues as the printer seemed to be losing its home and started grinding against the frame. A quick firmware update fixed that no problem and i was off to my first benchy with the beautiful filament included.

That benchy is going to the grave with me as it is just so beautiful.

I would 100% recommend this to everyone i know.

Thank you for this machine and i hope to do business again with yall soon!
