Prusa History Buffs.
Was there any trading agreement between Prusa Inc and Geetech going back say 10 ? years ago.
The reason I ask is my neighbour has a Geetech aluminium frame i3 printer and it looks pretty much like the early Prusa i3,
which I am positive was released for sale much earlier than Geetech's. clone.
The only visible difference I have noted is that the aluminium frame i3 clone has the Z axis steel rods enclosed in looks like steel boxes.
I am trying to encourage my neighbour, who is retired to buy a new Prusa printer, but he likes the larger print volumes offered by the Chinese companies
with which I tend to agree, 255 mm x 255 mm x 250 mm would be nice to have, and of course the difference in selling prices for a hobbyist is important.
His i3 clone is broken and he is trying to source a new Sanguinolou ???? board, he says he has searched "web wise" everywhere to no avail.
Also Prusa buffs, I believe the i3 clone is fitted with a Mk 8 extruder head, where did that come from ? as we are only in the MK 3 and Mk4 era.
Hope to gain more knowledge of the famous Prusa company.
Cheers for now.
