Wobbely Mini+

I just received and assambled my Mini+, the problem is that it's 'wobbely'.

I put 4 foam-pads on the XZ-axis as shown in the manual and the YouTube instructions.

The problem is with the 5th foam-pad. It sits under the electronic-box but it's not on the same level with the other foam-pads. So, my printer is not stable.

RE: Wobbely Mini+

I had a similar problem when removing the buildplate that it would lift the whole printer towards the rear and right.

I printed and put https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/44643-prusa-mini-power-plug-stress-relief and now it is rock solid.

 

I guess it depends a little on how the bridging is on the slot for the foampad on the electronics box.

Thanks for this solution. I will print it this weekend (my first print!) and hope it's the solution.

RE: Wobbely Mini+

Are you sure that you put the foam foot in the correct slot and that your electronic box is on the correct level?

My Mini+ sits completely flat with all five feet.

Bought two used Mini+ off of eBay and noticed quite a wobble in them both with the foam pads, so I went and installed these on both: Prusa Mini Support Legs

The wobble has mostly gone, I think some tiny adjustments on my end are still needed.

Odd, my Mini+ did not come with foam pads.  My Mini also did not.  My two Chinese knockoffs did.  Check to make sure you received a real Prusa printer and not a clone.

Check that the pads are attached in the right place.

They should be glued to the aluminum profiles.

So not on the front and back part.
