On August 16th, 2019, Prusa Research set a new world record for the Most 3D printers operating simultaneously with 1096 3D printers operating at the same time in one room. The record was officially confirmed by a representative of Guinness World Records. And here’s how it all happened! The “hold-my-beer” moment As many of you […]

A couple of months ago, our brand new 3D printer, the Original Prusa SL1, hit the market. It’s based on the MSLA technology, which allows it to reach an incredible level of detail on the printed objects. It has a wide range of use, and this time we decided to focus on model railways – […]

Ten years ago, when you wanted to print anything on a RepRap 3D printer, you had pretty much only one option: ABS. It wasn’t exactly easy to get everything right. Printing ABS without a heated bed introduced a number of issues. Soon, new materials started to appear, however, ABS remained among some of the most […]

There is something very satisfying about physical knobs and buttons. Unlike various software sliders that you drag with your cursor, you can feel when a real button clicks and get a perfect sense of scale when you rotate a physical knob even without looking at it. In this article, we’re going to 3D print a […]

Nearly all Original Prusa i3 3D printers have a spool of filament placed in the original holder on the frame. This solution is trouble-free, practical, functional and mobile. However, if you want to print from special materials, which are hygroscopic, you need to keep the filament dry also during printing – that’s what silica gel […]

Today, we would like to show off something unusual – a custom-made modded Original Prusa i3 MK3S. This one was made for “Tested”, specifically for Adam Savage, as a gift, because we know that Adam is a big fan of the steampunk. Steampunk is a science-fiction genre, where everything is influenced by 19th century steam-powered […]

Have you ever thought that the infill pattern itself can be very nice to look at? In this article, we will explore an unusual use of PrusaSlicer and we will show you how to completely transform imported models with ease! Anyone who has experience with 3D printing knows very well what a slicer is and […]

One hundred thousand Original Prusa printers. Well, actually over 130,000 at the time of writing this article! I would have never imagined that this is where we would be in just a few years. It’s no longer just me and Michal working in a small basement. The Prusa Research team now has 433 people! And […]

It’s always like a little puzzle to solve: it starts with a 3D object, and then you’re trying to figure out how to rotate it, where to add supports and how to configure the print settings to achieve the best possible results. This process is called slicing and it’s an essential skill to learn if […]

Our first 3D printer enclosure became incredibly popular – and naturally, once we released our new Multi Material Upgrade 2.0 and 2S, people started asking us for an updated enclosure that would accomodate the Original Prusa i3 MK3S (and 2.5S) 3D printer along with the MMU2S unit. So, here it is – and it’s better than […]
