In this video, I show off my Prusa i3 mk2 clone 3D printer build.
You can buy a Prusa i3 mk3s (current model) for $749.00 in kit form, or $999.00 assembled, from www.prusa3d.com. The inspiration for this printer was taken from here: [ Ссылка ] Tom was able to build his printer (focusing on maximized cheapness, relying on chinese suppliers from aliexpress, etc.) for ~$350.00. For my build, I tried to be as frugal as possible, yet use name brand components where they were important (Actual E3DV6 hotend, mk42 bed, mini-rambo motherboard), and used almost exclusively Amazon or US vendors where I could return stuff if defective, and also faster shipping. My cost to build this printer came in somewhere in between Tom's build and Prusa's.
Here's the modded power supply holder, for use if you build one of these but like me want to use a Mean Well LRS-350-12 switching power supply: [ Ссылка ]
Also, I used the 8mm Prusa i3 MK2 clone extruder for a mk8 hobbed pulley, by user "geoffsim": [ Ссылка ]
Tinkercad is an awesome resource: www.tinkercad.com
Chris's Basement is a great YouTube channel, he shows how he built this same clone, and later on in his channel in the build series, explains how to load in the actual Prusa firmware and how to use a mk42 bed: [ Ссылка ]
Adam from Vector 3d YouTube channel also built a clone, his a Prusa mk2s: [ Ссылка ]
I elected to buy all my screws and threaded rods from Fastenal: [ Ссылка ]
This eBay vendor sells the smooth rods needed: [ Ссылка ]
I got the mk42 bed, and actual v1 "PINDA" sensor (level sensor) from [ Ссылка ]
Stepper motors, mini-Rambo, and most other parts came from Amazon.com
