Prusa i3 3d printer
Re: Prusa i3 3d printer
I'm writing a series of blog posts about my experiences with the printer. Here's the first - a guide to assembling it. Working on the principle that there may be others who found the instructions difficult to follow or, in my case, for a different printer, I thought there may be a few people out there who would like an illustrated guide to its assembly.

Looks good Rik, now I just need to find a reason to buy a 3D printer so I can use the instructions.ge_rik wrote: βSun Jun 21, 2020 4:30 pm I'm writing a series of blog posts about my experiences with the printer.

Is there no end to your skill and talent Rik. You have done a great job with the locos and now there will be no stopping you with even more brilliant builds..

Re: Prusa i3 3d printer
One other thing Rik, do they need to be in a reasonably dust free environment
I have seen 3D printers that are in some sort of enclosure. I am not thinking of getting a printer mate, even though I set up CNC pipe benders, the intricate things that need to be done to print something would be far beyond me....

Re: Prusa i3 3d printer
If I can interject here, the answer is "reasonably" i.e. I wouldn't use mine and have a mechanical sander going at the same time, but I haven't found normal household/modelling activities to be an issue.
A couple of days ago I had been outside mowing the grass and then came in to set the printer going. Without me realising it a couple of grass clippings must have fallen into the machine and landed on the bed.... I only found out when I removed the two pieces from the machine subsequently.....
FWIW, they are permanently embedded and haven't affected to print on the faces underneath, that you can't see here.
My Qidi is in an enclosure, it comes as standard, but enclosures are more to do with maintaining an even temperature for some print materials, one being ABS. PLA, which is probably the the most common material, wants to be kept cool so the enclosure is opened and the nozzle fans turned on. In this case of course, having no enclsure simply isn't an issue.

No, he's working well, but he only does the back lawn so I have to do the front myself every couple of weeks.
