RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

New to 3D printing. Started last September with a Monoprice Delta Mini which prints well and a good choice for a total 3D newbie. I just ordered the Prusa Mini on 16 March. The wait begins...

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Ordered Date: 3/15, shipping to Northern California via FedEx

Initially, the ETA was within a week of 4/4 then changed to 4/11. Yesterday it was 3/28, but changed back to 4/11 today:/

Also bought Trianglelab's extruder (seems recommended) and hotend (couldn't find much reviews on this one)

I was hesitant to order my second Mini+ kit but then I saw the lead times, 17-18 weeks, and I just had to order another one!  Here's to hopefully getting it in July!

If you already have built one, go with the pre-assembled one, they will be delivered much sooner!

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I really should have but I justified buying the second kit because "I was saving myself $50."  Totally nonsense but that's okay, I can wait.

Did you order the kit or pre assembled? 

Where would you expect to see an estimated date? 

 

I ordered the kit at the end of 2021 and it should have been shipped last week but no confirmation yet. I think there might be missing some critical parts which delay the shipment currently. In the shop there are no pre assembled hot ends and control boards available as spare parts. But the knob under the display (printed part) is not in stock as well 🤷

 

Did you check the shipping page? But it will only help you, if you ordered a kit (and the page was last updated two weeks ago):

Yeah, I'm confused by this as well. So, on your order page, the ETA is literally blank or has an "N/A" or something?

This is what I see:
Order date:3/15/2022
Current shipping estimate:Within a week from 4/11/2022

Ordered on the 16th as well and obsessively checking the order page for updates. It's my first 3d printer after years of tinkering with four mk3s at my local makerspace. Can't wait to get my mini!

In this case with lead times up to 18 weeks (or even more, who knows?) it was better to simply totally delete the printer out of your mind until you  receive a shipping notice, otherwise you might become insane (I know what I am talking about, I ordered 12/30/2021).

If you cannot do that, do yourself a favor an take the pre-assembled one. If I could go back, I'd take the pre-assembled one, too. 

And I am still curious why the pre-assembled ones that require much more work have a higher lead time than the ones where they only need to throw parts in a box 🤔

Yeah, I think I'm going to forget it and be happily surprised when it arrives x)

Maybe the pre assembled ones are the more ordered ones thus their production line is better, I guess?

Did you order the kit or pre-assembled? I ordered a kit on Dec 27 and am still waiting. I believe the original estimate when I ordered was mid to late February, I'm starting to get a little annoyed. :\
