Prusa 3D printers are considered to be a reliable workhorse machine suitable for mass producing parts in a small business. Popular with hobbyists and businesses alike, we can vouch for their reliability and performance. This is our fourth Prusa machine and to distinguish it from the rest we have decide to replace the standard orange pieces with some pretty blue parts.

They are available either pre-assembled or in kit form. We prefer to save some money on import duty and the cost of the printer and build them from a kit!

Building the kit can be tricky for some so we thought it would make an interesting article to document the process and publish it in our blog.

The galleries below are meant to compliment the Prusa build guide and we hope that you enjoy seeing what’s involved in assembling a 3D printer and maybe gain an insight into how they work.

This is part one of what will become a multi-part guide and shows the assembly of the main frame of the 3D printer.

Enjoy!
