RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
@kiwo
... thanks for that, seem like there's scope for built-in delay (to make the other courier - I think it was UPS but not sure - look good). I got the Prusa email yesterday afternoon - still nothing from DPD but looking at others' experiences that's not surprising ... perhaps I should have paid extra and gone with the other courier - I'll know next time 😄

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
May I ask you, fellow MINI owners, could you please help me me with a test?

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
I'm rather disappointed with DHL. Printer shipped Monday (15th) with expected delivery Wednesday. It arrived in Cincinatti on Tues and cleared customs overnight. After it sat on hold in Cincinatti all day Wednesday, it became obvious that was a fantasy. The Mini arrived in DC on thursday morning, sat around til lunchtime when it was finally loaded on a truck. They raised my hopes of getting it with an updated expected delivery by Thursday night, but then crushed them when it was again put on hold at 5pm. The truck hadn't left DC by 10pm this morning so I called in, getting a promise they would nudge the truck out and promise a delivery today. It left on its run 2hours later. We'll see.

I will do the test with PETG. It just so happens that I was looking for a stringing test. Yesterday was my first time printing Prusament PETG on the Mini & the stringing was terrible using the Prusa Slicer presets. Prusament PLA has been printing without problems for almost a month. I posted this question on another thread:

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
Don't despair too much @mike-io. I've been watching 8 boxes of Prusament travel around the world via DHL. Wednesday it landed in LA but didn't get to Van Nuys until Thursday morning. Van Nuys is still 3 hours away from me (by car) so I found it implausible I'd see the package on Thursday (yesterday), the day it was scheduled for delivery. But sure enough it arrived at 1:20 pm yesterday.
If it doesn't arrive today, go try to pick it up before they close for the evening.

PETG prints better at higher temps. Try 225 to 235. Especially the first layer.

I only printed a benchy in PETG and wasn't happy about the stringing so I installed new fanduct and now I'm printing PLA tests. I'll try the PETG benchy again and will see.

I'm using Prusa Slicer presets: 240C 1st layer & 250C for the rest. Temp variation is on my experiment plan.

I'm motivated to make it work with settings rather than hardware.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
YAAAAAYYYYY ... it's arrived.
Only took three days - tracking wasn't much use though - no tracking data ... first the courier was supposed to be DPD, then Prusa's shipping email said DHL and finally DPD delivered it today.
Confusing but no complaints, it was shipped in the week Prusa scheduled it, and it only took three days.
One 'Benchy' produced straight out of the box - no tweaking ... so far so good.

I've tried to lower the Z lift to 0.1, lowered retraction to 2mm, raised wipe after retraction in 80%. It made big diggerence for me.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread
Shipping table has been updated again. It now shows orders up to 29th Dec have been shipped. We know at least one printer is lost in transit, so I have updated the spreadsheet to show pending orders up to 29th Dec as shipped. Whilst it's a reasonable assumption that the rest of these printers have actually been delivered, I suggest we leave them for a week or so (or in solidarity with @Cho until he finally gets his printer delivered).
