Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Woohoo! DHL just dropped mine off! I've gotten the spreadsheet updated, and can't wait until work's done for the day to start putting this together.

I got Galaxy Black and Mystic Green filaments, 25g of each. Does anyone know how much printing you can get out of the samples? I wouldn't mind having a benchy in each, but don't know if that's a reasonable target.

Slice something, the Prusa Slicer should estimate the weight of plastic required

Last time I printed a benchy it weighed around 13 grams, so if you reduce the infill a little bit you could print four of those 😉

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

my delivery week is coming closer (next week).

Hopefully they do not shift it again.

"Free covid face mask". Photo please?

It's HERE!

My Mini arrived at 14:30 local time.  DHL 2-day did as advertised - 2 days from Prague to Sacramento, CA, USA.

Along with my two rolls of Prusament was a complete sterilised face shield with a note from Jo Prusa suggesting to give it to someone who needs it.

Now, I'm off to put it together!

This is the facemask I got with my printer today

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@urhoebeling Thankyou.  I have already sent mine off to a consultant to see if he can use it. 

The enclosed letter talks about including it "to inspire you",  probably because it is too big to print on a mini.  There are remixes that you can print which either allow it to be printed in two parts and joined, or with shorter ends and a longer head strap.  

For me I found it useful to see how strong and flexible PLA was and how well it can be printed.  I think it was done on a faster speed as well.

A nice gesture from Prusa.

Hi all,

I haven't filled the spreadsheet, but I received a shipping notice yesterday for my Dec 2nd 2019 order of Prusa Mini. So they seem to be ramping up the production very well as mine was estimated to ship on the week of May 22nd.

Did yours include a filament sensor ?

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Mine was shipped on April 21.

FedEx originally provided an estimated delivery date to USA of April 23, but my package sat in Germany for two days and now it's in France for some reason.  FedEx says the delays are beyond its control because of Covid-19. Understandable but frustrating.

@lee-mad

No it did not. Printer, both sheets and a filament roll.

Based on the tracking it is spending the weekend in Praque at the transport company.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Likely the bottleneck right now is the filament sensor, which we can observe based on all recent shipments not having the sensor.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@anthonycvella

My Prusa Mini was shipped on Monday, 20th April, and delivered Friday, 24th April, and included the filament sensor (as well as one spool prusament, both sheets and the face shield).

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Planning to buy a second, but wonder if they will ever clear the backlog.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

The clones have begun:

The Prusa clone on Aliexpress

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@charles-h13

Haha indeed. I saw them too on AliExpress the other day. I also found other parts for the Mini. I could go for spare parts from 3rd party suppliers but I think for that price I wouldn't want to buy the clone instead of the original.

It's cool to see that there are alternatives though since this is open source.
