Is there a way to know how many hours the Prusa Mini has printed?

Hi all,

I'm quite new to 3D printing and this might seem a stupid question, but it's said that you should proceed to do some maintenance on the Prusa Mini after 100 hours of printing. Is there any place in the software where I can find how much it has printed this far?

I've gone in all the menus I thought could contain this information and had no luck.

I could not find anything online and it does not appear in the menu.

Not in the current firmware. Wish it were there.

Is there a place where we can make these suggestions?

You might want to open up issues as feature requests on Prusa's GitHub page. 

https://github.com/prusa3d/Original-Prusa-MINI/issues

Post it as an issue - enhancement.

I have had wattage meter in my mini from the start. I have reading what is avarage fro my prints what it does comsune momentarily. And I have full consumption. There is fairly good amount when you calculate it to hours.

I have fairly big amount of hours in just 1 year 😂😂🤭

One of the last firmware update gives you these statistics too. Very useful to help know when a maintenance is due 😉

Hi

Since version 4.3.3

https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag/v4.3.3

Note that statitics are recorded only when printing from USB stick. Not supported when printing from Octoprint or Pronterface.  More all statistics are reset to zero when factory reset is done
