PRINT FARM WORKHORSE
PRINT TWICE AS FAST!
While a large print platform has its advantages, you can produce a higher number of parts when you utilize parallel printing!
With its small footprint, the MINI fits pretty much everywhere. Run the print job on 2+ 3D printers to maximize your production!
The MINI was designed to be a true 3D printing workhorse and it offers the same level of reliability and quality as the rest of the Original Prusa family.
MAIN FEATURES
BIG PRINTER IN A COMPACT BODY
Featuring a 7"×7"×7" (18×18×18 cm) build volume, the MINI is a fully-equipped 3D printer. With sensorless homing, automatic Mesh Bed Calibration, replaceable nozzles, network connectivity, USB and LAN printing and a full-color LCD screen, the MINI is a big printer in a small body.
REMOVABLE PRINT SHEETS
Removing a print has never been easier! With the magnetic heatbed and removable spring steel sheets, you can remove a printed object merely by bending the steel sheet. The surface is easy to maintain and comes in two variants: smooth and textured.
SMART FEATURES + ONE-CLICK PRINTING
Automatic Mesh Bed Leveling, self-diagnostics, ethernet over-the-air firmware updates... the Mini is packed with smart tech making the 3D printing process a breeze. Insert a USB drive and confirm the selection, the printer will do the rest for you!
32-BIT CONTROLLER AND SAFETY FEATURES
More power, more options. Our brand new custom-made 32-bit Buddy motherboard with Trinamic 2209 silent drivers brings more bang for your bucks. The printer also features three thermistors and a number of safety features for trouble-free printing.
