Over the past months, we have been busy rearranging our 3D printer room to make a more usable workspace for some new machines. The new 3D printers we have are made by a company called Prusa Research. These printers are filament extrusion machines like the Ender 3 and Makerbot printers we already had, but these are more accurate and capable of producing higher-quality prints.
We have three Prusa MK3S+ printers and two Prusa Mini+ printers. In the short time, we have had these printers, they have already accumulated a combined print time of 43 days, 4 hours, and 20 minutes and used 2.715 km (1.68 miles) of filament. These machines will be the workhorses we need to keep our members 3d printing for years to come. If you need any more information about these printers, consult the specs below and as always, feel free to send us an email if you need more information.
