We recently recieved a Original Prusa i3 MK3S lended to the space by Terry. It is fully functional now, however we still need to discuss on the rules around using this machine since we want to make sure the lended machine stays healthy.
- Please bring your own filament and only use plain PLA.
- For advanced user other filament can be considered. Please see the details section for more information.
Details
- Avaliable print Surface:
- Double-sided Textured PEI Powder-coated Spring Steel Sheet

Usage
If you haven't used the printer, register for the monthly 3D printing intro course or ask in the 3d_printing channel on Slack beforehand.
- Slice your .stl in PrusaSlicer
- Use the official presets for the Original Prusa i3 MK3S.
- Get the SD Card that's in the printer, export to the SD Card (a SD Card reader can be found on the 3D printer shelf), and put it back into the printer.
- Make sure that the bed sheet you are using is set on the settings. We have a textured and a smooth PEI sheet for this printer. Put the one you need onto the printer and select it on the menu: Home Screen - Settings - HW Setup - Select either "Sheet Smooth1" or "Sheet Textur1" (see picture beside).
- Verify that you're about to start the right print - the display shows an image preview of your model
