Hi everyone

I need advice on buying accessories for 'Original prusa mini' that i bought late 2019/early 2020. I didn't print much with it, and in the meantime i lost power supply.

So i'll order new supply and i was thinking maybe to other some accessories - any advices? I saw that wi-fi adapter but unfortunately it's for mini+, but not for mine.

I would be interested in upgrades like that as well

All the best,

Im pretty sure the wifi adapter is compatible but have included a replacement at the bottom of this post new nozzle a lubricant set I always order one with my orders there cheap and do a good job at lubricating the rods and bearings a thermistor is always handy to have as a spare if u want wifi have you tried Octoprint maybe something to look into 

RE: Accessories for mini

i remember i used to print by connecting usb stick to 3d printer

at some point i connected to LAN and i remember there was some very basic prusa software for it

and then i tried octoprint and i remember that looked really good

that was like 3.5 years ago

i have to update on everything

Octoprint has improved alot especially with all the plugins now uou can customize it fully

The machine should be as good as ever, if you don't have them I suggest you add lubricant and a spare nozzle to your order.

Don't worry about WiFi.  To remove prints and load filament you must attend the printer so you might as well carry the next job on a usb stick at the same time.  To increase throughput a second usb drive allows you to design and save onto one while printing from the other.

We frequently see posts from users who have left a machine unused for a while and encountered problems.

The three common causes:

A dirty print bed. Give it a really thorough clean and avoid touching the print area.

Damp filament. Look up threads here about drying filament especially if it has been left open.

General neglect, dust and cobwebs... Basic cleaning, lubrication and general maintenance have all been missed.
