My son send I presently have six printers in our printer farm, half are built from scratch and half are production machines, so we have some that cost around $500.00 to over $4,000.00. Done with a single extruder and some with multiple extruders. Each gas advantages and drawbacks.

if you are still thinking of building a Prusa, visit our website and check out our BOM and our build instructions. We have had dozens of our kits built and none have taken more than a weekend.

Checked out some of the pictures you have on there. Those are some seriously nice prints!! Could you maybe clear up what the Prusa I3 is... Is it a design of frame or is the electronics or is it the software or maybe the size? Aside from that I was wondering if you had a good thread or video that would maybe help explain the mechanics behind the printer. Maybe that way I'll have a better understanding of what each mechanical part does. Hopefully I will be able to ask better questions such as "should I get this x or this x?"
