RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

They must be saving the best for the last... in the last bunch of spreadsheet entries purchased on the 13th and still not shipped. Really hoping that they (2 minis) ship soon. Congrats to those printing and getting excellent results. If the mini prints are on par with the Mk3S then I'll be more than satisfied.

I agree!  This thing prints great!  Just as good as the mk3 we have at work.  Here's my first print and a 5 minute cleaning with my hands.

If I had to guess, they are having issues with TXT beds?  That seems to be a commonality between the ones on the edge of shipping and not.

How much has the Mini shipping table slipped???  I now see that the 14OCT orders will supposedly start on the 10th???  Weren't they 20Jan at one point???

Reminds me of the line in "Tropic Thunder" where they are 3 days into shooting and 4 weeks behind schedule....

I just spoke to PR chat and here is what they said:

 

Bart 13:17
your order should be shipped within 1-2 weeks, I am not able to give you exact shipping date at this moment

Did your's ship yet?

 

(The post above is from Jan 6th just for reference and the poster said he was an early 14th order.)

I don't check the shipping table  often but according to the latest (updated 3rd Feb) my Mini (ordered in week 52 last year) is estimated for shipping from April 22.

If memory serves me right last time I looked it was May 22 so it's moved up a whole month 😀 Any one else confirm this ?

One issue I am having is getting some prints to stick to the TXT plate.  Right now, I have had the Buggie fail 5 times in a row.

The first layer looks good.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

This is my first post. I have been following this thread from the beginning and until now I didn't need to write anything.
My order is October 14th 8AM CET. The first estimated date was early December. Then before Christmas and then mid-January. Then the end of January and now about mid-February. So what to say...

I'm from Prague. 20 minutes by car from the PrusaResearch. I'm ready to come whenever they say it's ready to pick up 😉 . Before Christmas, they told me they are strictly following the order numbers. And now I see that orders with a higher number are already delivered to some people after me.

MINI was originally a Christmas present (for me and my children) and now (if delivered in February) my son will finally find out that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Yep... another unsatisfied (crying) customer in this thread.

Ok.  I have printed head to head with my MK3S.  I printed a Makers Coin that my rocket club uses to encourage the team to remain to the end of the day to assist with clean up.  It is what I call a plastic Nickle.  We hand them out as $5 off your next flight fees.  

Coin front:

Coin Back:

I printed them with the same settings and it took 1 hr 17 minutes on the MK3s and 54 minutes on the Mini.  The quality is identical.  

Wow that's good news. Are you planning on any other prints to compare - say, something larger?

It could be that one of the extra's you ordered is out of stock (it is also my biggest fear -- I ordered some Prusament extra but when the printer is ready but the filament is not the printer does not get shipped)

I hate when that happens.  I had an order wait two weeks for a spool of filament.

Yes.  I will do a head to head on 2-3 hours print soon.  

7th Benchie failed to adhere to the bed.  It pops off after 5 layers of so.  I am going to try another filament.  The frog, logo, sheep, and dog all printed well, but not the tug boat.  Odd.  First layer appears good.

My sheep had gaps in it for some reason.  Yours looked solid?

I just got really excited. Checked my Eshop account and noticed that there was a change! A second invoice pdf was generated. Thought it was something to do with it getting ready to ship.

For some reason it is a duplicate of the original, just formatted differently....

Actually, I didn't even needed a 3D printer at the beginning. I have friends with MK3S who print for me when I need something... When MINI appeared, I decided I want my own. I am sure it's really good printer for this price for my casual hobbies...

Today I also asked if it's possible to pickup only the MINI and the rest (TXT sheet, sensor) later. Answer: NO it's not possible. Just wait for another 2 weeks.

Now, after those constant promises: we will send it in two weeks (at least 3 times), be patient and bla bla bla... I probably don't want it anymore.

Anyway, this my my second and last post related to this. Because it doesn't solve anything. After I will get my MINI I will update the spreadsheet of course.

That is worthy of adding to your signature!

I agree with @bobstro 

I motion that @charles-h13 immediately change his signature line.

Can I get a second?
