It has been full 3 years since we started our in-house development of Slic3r, later adding Prusa Edition (PE) to make less confusion with the naming. However, the programs are radically different now, plus, the community keeps using the Slic3r and Slic3r PE interchangeably, creating a lot of confusion, making this an ideal time for […]
UPDATE (25/04/2019): Hello everyone, the launch is now behind us and it is an enormous success: almost 5000 users signed up in just two days! Thank you everyone! As with every launch, a couple of topics came up which need to be addressed and this is why we are posting this update. The map and […]
Hello everyone, it’s time for another update and this time it will be a pretty massive one. We have been growing as fast as ever, and we already reached the incredible milestone of 100,000 3D printers shipped! Just in January, we dispatched 14,000 orders (not all of them are printers). I would have never imagined […]
This year is almost over and before I do a final 2018 recap, I would like to share some information about what’s going on in Prusa Research right now. It has been a busy year, we brought new products to the market, announced new machines (our brand new resin Original Prusa SL1), kept updating and […]
I am in the FFF filament based printers industry for quite some time, almost 10 years since I started to play with RepRaps and later joined the project as a core developer. That is more than ⅓ of my life and if I think about it like this I get butterflies in my stomach. Over […]
When we manufacture our printers at Prusa Research, we have everything under our control. We design the hardware, electronics, software, print settings, and even the firmware. That means we basically have full control over the final print quality. Or so we thought, there is one more thing that was (up until now) outside our control […]
New firmware 3.4.0 for Original Prusa i3 MK3 and MK2.5 is out! We usually inform about firmware updates in short chapters within larger articles, but this release has so much new stuff, I decided to tell you more about it. Plus, I would like to share updates related to powder coated steel sheets availability and […]
A little over a month ago, I mentioned that our Multi Material Upgrade 2.0 is close to being shipped. And I’m happy to announce, that the time is now! We have just started shipping the MMU 2.0 to first customers. I’m sure you’re curious about what it can do – and I can finally reveal […]

Shipping and support Multi Material 2.0 Slic3r PE 1.40.1 Inconsistent extrusion Firmware 3.3.1 Better cooling and extruder upgrade Other news Shipping and support Our shipping process has recently […]
Since 2012 I’m working hard (along with all colleagues from Prusa Research) to develop 3D printers that are easy to use, reliable, versatile and affordable. The Original Prusa i3 has become well-known all over the world. But now it’s time to take another step. I repeatedly said that print quality for FDM is peaking and […]
