Prusa I3 MK1/2 3D help
Hi all, I’ve been gifted this printer and I understand it is super old so it may be a lots cause. I was wondering though if anyone had specs/downloads for it so I could look for parts such as a bed and nozzle etc?
also is anyone able to confirm which version this is? I’m told it’s an MK 1/2. Is that likely to mean it was just upgraded from 1 to 2?

That printer looks like a clone,
My mk1 had an aluminium frame, not perspex ( I Believe all genuine Prusa i3 versions had aluminium frames)
it is unlikely that any genuine prusa extruder parts will fit without modification.
the genuine prusa's had a Rambo Mini controller inside a protective case, this one, probably has an exposed controller on the left hand side.
the printers in this era, had manually adjusted heatbeds with jack screws and often springs at the corners of the heatbed, and often a borosilicate glass build plate clipped on top!
you are probably best sourcing an integrated extruder & Hot end to fit to this frame, the original, probably didn't have a part cooling fan.
