It was 29Nov2019, order 375361 at the end I believe

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I guess I won the Prusa Lotto.  My orange Mini + 2 rolls of Prusament ordered on 25/11/2020 were shipped today.   The shipping table projected shipping beginning May 16, but I will take this!   Not quite believing it, I waited for the DHL email to confirm they actually picked it up from Prusa and they did.

The delivery is scheduled for this Friday, 24/11/20, but since it is going all the way to California, I expect to have it delayed until Monday.  

A Bondtech stainless steel heat-break (and paste) and dual drive extruder are sitting here waiting for it.  I am going to install both while assembling the Mini since I want to print parts, not spend time taking care of design issues.  

This is my first printer, but I have been using a Taz 6 and a Markforged Mark 2 with carbon thread reinforcement for over a year at my local makerspace and have spent the last five months reading the Mini related posts in the forum, so I am a bit more than a newbee.  I will update the spreadsheet later today.

Wow, 6 month delivery time?  That is a long time in shipment.

She arrived this morning and is printing away! 

Word of advice, doing first layer adjustment with army green on the green steel sheet is not a good idea  🙂

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

So, guys. I added new column in the spreadsheet (column S). It's called HPETS. I called the column R PPETS. PPETS is Prusa's estimate, HPETS is is estimate.

I expect my estimate to go down every day. It can rise up on weekends and then go down again on monday so you can check it it whenever you want to see my updated estimate for your printer. As you will see, it's quite optimistic. It does not count with Prusa's "ramping up" daily production so I expect the dates to go down slowly to even more more optimistic dates!

Looking on the shipping history, my estimates seems quite right. Prusa ships printers from very wide timeframe, but still. It's just an estimate and I hope it's a good estimate, because it's way earlier then Prusa's.

Let me know your ideas about the HPETS for your printer.

One little side note. I'm terrible with Excel, so It rely on sorted row. If your row is not on the right place, please move it it there to get the right HPETS.

@hawwwran

I wouldn't say terrible at Excel. That's a nice linear forecasting algorithm.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Whoa - I just got my shipment notification from Prusa and DHL - order date Nov 30. Delivery scheduled Friday the 24th to California. Will update once I get it.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Greetings to everyone! I also filled the order data for my Prusa Mini in the table. How do you know what a printer revision is?
Could you tell me why I can't start a private conversation? (with @hawwwran)

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@hawwwran

Been watching your spreadsheet for months.  Ordered mine around thanksgiving (21st).  Mentally, I figured my ship date around where your algorithm picked out.  Wonder why there's what looks like some sort of "random" scatter of mid november orders shipping non-chronologically.

Also, first post, learning this forum.  Not accustomed to posting in forums not named "reddit"

Oops. That order date was 25/11/19, not in 2020.

Not my spreadsheet, to be fair. I just watch it and report. 

What I think is going on with the scatter:

There is a number of employees working on shipping the orders. They need to work on the order from start to end, because they test the components and aeep the track of the parts through the process. So I think, they got a batch of orders and some are faster then others so they ship scattered. The November should be shipped fully very soon so I find this plausible. But it's just a guess.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@hawwwran

Instead of looking at the order dates, do the order numbers (last 6 digits) make more sense in a prediction strategy? Or do they show a direct correlation like you would expect?

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I have this picture in my mind of some poor guy in the Prusa shipping room having dropped his binder on the floor with the order pages flying everywhere.  He scooped them back up and that's the order in which they are now being shipped.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I ordered my Prusa Mini on Dec 14, and just ordered an ebike a few days ago that states it'll take around a month to ship. There's now a race between the semi-preorders! I was betting that the ebike would arrive first, but now it seems like any package could win. Which one am I going to get to play with first?

It's not much of a help as there are all other orders in the numbers. I would expect the statistics used for HPETS is strong enough. The scatter makes it it s predictable, but i would still expect the HPETS date as the date it should ship. It could be earlier if the scattering will be in your favour, but it should be usualy close to the HPETS date. 

You all could inform us how the HPETS fits for for your order once you get the shipping notification.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Mine has shipped, ordered 15/11/19. Marked in spreadsheet.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

HPETS was 3 days off and so closer than PPETS 👍 

Would it be worth inserting a column for actual ship date? That way we can see HPETS accuracy at a glance 😀 

On a side note HPETS exactly predicted my birthday!

Feel free to write the actual date dn column T. Yo cannot edit column headers, but you can put the column name "Actual shipping date" in the first order's row as I did with HPETS and PPETS.

3 days is sweet success. I would call a week a success. PPETS and HPETS are three weeks apart for fo order.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

There were five orders marked as shipped in our spreadsheet yesterday.

One from 23.Oct

One from 12.Nov

One from 22.Nov

One from 25.Nov

One from 30.Nov

Five orders were marked as delivered.

One order from 27.Nov was marked as shipped and later marked as pending again.

MPETS: 19.May

"One order from 27.Nov was marked as shipped and later marked as pending again."

That was mine, but I didn't un-mark it... fixed now. Thanks for all your efforts, great fun and it's really helped pass the time!
