MK2 Questions
Hi Prusa fans!
I have two older self-built Prusa's (i2 and i3), and let's just say I spend more time calibrating than ever printing anything with them... so..
I'm considering buying the Prusa i3 MK2 kit from Prusa Research (fully assembled/tested), and I had these questions:
- How does the bed leveling work? If the bed isn't level, does it tell you to turn screws or something to adjust it? Does the Z-Motor just adjust over time?
- Can you switch to/from PLA and ABS regularly or is the nozzle design not really suited for this? Is there a 'clean out procedure' that people have tested that works for this sort of thing?
- Can you order the i3 MK2 with 3mm filament capability? I have a lot of 3mm filament I'd like to use up with a good printer :).
- What kind of care and feeding is needed for these printers over time?
Thanks!

Z axis levels continuously during print. No screws.

Yes.
- Can you order the i3 MK2 with 3mm filament capability?
As far as I know - no, you can't.
- What kind of care and feeding is needed for these printers over time?
Keep it clean and grease linear bearings from time to time.
