3d Printer Prusa i3 build log #2

Published June 25, 2015 by Ryan Ralph

So I got my printer calibrated enough to do a first print. I’m a bit ashamed at how long it’s taken but I can blame exams for the most part.

The main source I used in order to get set up was Triffid Hunter’s Calibration Guide, the other source that was quite useful was Tom’s video about calibration of the extruder.

In the last few days most of the final parts for my Prusa i3 arrived in the mail. Not looking too bad for a sub $500AUD build if I do say so myself.

I’ve decided to get into the 3d printing space and decided to build a reprap Prusa i3. Based on community feedback it seems like a good solid printer for a first timer as well as relatively accessible in terms of acquring parts. I’ve spent a fair bit of time trawling ebay and aliexpress in order to pick up all the parts. Hopefully I can keep the total sub $500.
