What prusa parts to print for spares?
July 15, 2012 10:28AM
Hello again all.

Yesterday I could get a good print using Skeinforge. It was hard to configure it but finally I got a very deacent print.

Now I want to start printing spares for my printer (Linear Prusa V2).

What part do you recommend me to start with? What should be the priority taking account the risk of damage according to your experience?

Thank you!

Congrats!

I'd advice you print the following as spares, in order of importance regarding which parts I've broken the most of. Some of these you might want to do a upgrade on anyway, like switching to herringbone gears on the extruder.

Extruder small gear.
Pulleys (if printed).
Extruder idler.
Bar clamps.
X carriage.
Extruder large gear.
Extruder body.
Z couplings.
Y belt tensioner.
X ends.

Frame vertices, Y bearing holders and z+y motor mounts I have yet to break.
