"mk3s trianglelab clone from ali express for the same money" I feel for you, you're cross, you've spent a lot of money and you have a non working printer. Nevertheless the prices on AliExpress (E332 + E115 + E65) does not support you're statement. Maybe better to go for Ender3 +  SKR + BL Touch.

"right now it looks either the hardware has not enough power and resources for the web interface or its very bugged. we will see." Again I understand that you are cross but that statement is not supportable.

Although I've haven't bought anything from Prusa yet, they seem like a pretty decent outfit, I suspect you could get your money back if you tried.

 

well, https://de.aliexpress.com/item/33012746191.html?gps-id=8041884&scm=1007.14677.110221.0&scm_id=1007.14677.110221.0&scm-url=1007.14677.110221.0&pvid=289783e8-cb4b-4bd5-8452-fe82e4436ca0&spm=a2g0o.store_home.promoteWysiwyg_503227658.1

so 332€, yes. einsy board 65-70 €, custom fee is lottery, many times they dont carge it here. and shipping about 100 bucks.

so maybe this would be better choice:

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32964921032.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.301840b4pwbsOy&algo_pvid=54280a3e-177c-4f07-b245-83ea3308692e&algo_expid=54280a3e-177c-4f07-b245-83ea3308692e-17&btsid=7f4aba31-3d4a-4c5c-b3ec-4906e4b90d5d&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_9,searchweb201603_53

so my point is, prusa mini with filament sensor charges 440 with shipping (no additional sheet or spool), at this point in time a good mk3s clone is still better than the mini. and ender, no way. rather pay 100 eur more for the clone than buying an ender.

you sound like a prusa fanboy, and dont get me wrong, im prusa fanboy, too. my original prusa mk3s is an original ordered from prusa research. i was and i am still happy to support this small company, but at the moment, i recomend to wait untill the mini is usable, or better buy the mk3s if you have no patience to wait and no other printer in use.

@towlerg

What is SKR in your above message, just curious.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@pingu

"you sound like a prusa fanboy," I don't know whether to be insulted or complimented. Certainly not in sense of an obsessive Apple owner.

BTW The Ender 3 is much maligned but nevertheless many (tens of thousands) people are happy with them and you can get one for E150 then gradually upgrade.

As I said, I haven't yet bought anything from Prusa but nothing I've read makes me believe they are disreputable. You really should chat with support.

SKR relates to a 32bit controller board

like this or one of it's derivatives, this board can use more modern stepper drivers than some of the older printer controller boards, leading to potentially quieter operation with fewer very fine artefacts, compared to older controller/stepper driver combinations

Good luck with that submission.  

No ship dates yet in the New Year.  I am in the next 100 or so.  About 3-5 shipped out of order before mine.  

Chat said it should ship this week.  

Hey, whats the Date when you order the mini? When i know that i can guess when i get mine 😛

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

fwiw chat told me my Oct 23 order would probably ship by the end of February... they were speculating of course

I installed the E3 version on my Ender.  I hopefully will get it running now.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@pingu

Hi sorry for asking but is mini your first printer ?

I'm just wondering if some of the problems could be possibly solved with some experience.

Not counting HW faults

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Good Luck!

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I am really surprised we are 8 days into the new year and ti appears that there have been no new deliveries / shipments.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@charles-h13

Im just wondering maybe they're trying to find out the way to fix early batch issues e.g encoder knob problems

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@charles-h13

I am also.  8 days of silence, it would be nice if they made a statement.  By they way, I ordered not long behind you, so I am wishing you get your Mini soon, Charles.

I think it is more like 14 days fo silence.  None-the-less, A statement would be nice.

Well even tho they didn't/don't say much it took them 3 weeks to update the shipping table.

It is starting to look more and more like a Kickstarter scam euuhh campagn...

I bet next time we hear of them is in 1 week as they update the shipping table telling us it will take a week longer.....

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Did anyone notice under shipping info it no longer says pending now you just get this message that of course takes you to an outdated page

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Here is what chat said when I asked them about the mini and my mini

A few days ago when I asked when my mini would ship they said 1 to 2 weeks now this guy is telling me end of January

Are you in 41XXX or 42XXX range?  I am in the 41XXX range and should be one of the next ones to ship.  It is odd that he under tracking sheet has not seen many or any ship since 1 January.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@charles-h13

Im in the beginning of 42XXX

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Got tired of waiting and all the back and forth, so I ordered a MK3S. Now I just got to decide what to do with my Mini order from October 14th 🤔
