History
Offical kit available (Sep 2017)
In May 2016, the MK3 has been announced by Prusa with the phrases of "IT'S BLOODY SMART!".
Printed Parts
The STL files are available on Prusa Research.
Electronics
Filament sensor
This optical filament encoder is sensing the movement of the filament. So the printer can detect not only filament outage, but also a jammed nozzle. In addition, you can use filament auto loading function with this sensor.
TMC2130 Stepper drivers
TMC2130 drivers make this printer extremely quiet with its 256 micro-stepping. Differ from the TMC2100, it can detect layer shifting, and pause the print.
Extruder
Prusa i3 MK3 extruder is a perfect combination of E3D V6 hotend and Bondtech drive gears.
Heated Bed
Brand new design of MK52 makes us easier to remove the print from bed with its magnetic steel print sheet. You just need to flex the sheet.
