Prusa MK4

[Janger]

I bought a Prusa MK4! I was on the waiting list for a prusa XL. It's really quite expensive - with still no real ETA - and this came out for a lot less. So I switched my order. Just figuring it all out. It's working...

Any comparison yet to the mk3S+?

Curious if the mk4 is really THAT much faster…..

Ok real life prints with the MK4 0.4mm nozzle. 1 hour 39min. On the MK3S+ similar settings 1 hour 56 min. I thought it would be better. I'll keep trying and investigating. These are extreme parts very flat 2mm thick.

Initial impressions. Everything is better. Software, UI, buttons, rigidity, hardware, remote operation.

MK4 3 hours 24 min. MK3 - 4 hours 13 min. This is the X axis motor mount for my ELS project.

That’s a decently impressive gain in efficiency. I’m guessing that it’s without any dedicated time spent optimizing and tweaking for speed.

Always was impressed with my Prusa…..

Time to fill another stall in the stable? Lol

When printing large flat pieces I had troubles with curling/lifting (petg mostly). The solution that works for me is to add mouse ears (Google it) to my design and print them 0.4mm (two layers ) high. I put them on any 90 degree corner, so on a square I’d add four .

When the print is done i just cut them off with a utility knife. Sometimes you can break them off by folding them over

I think the circle shape bleeds heat slower. And if anything lifts it is usually the edge of the ear

I like big brims and I cannot lie.
