3D Printing NotesRevisionas of Sunday, 23 June 2024 at 22:01 UTC

For a lovely little Prusa Mini+ ❤️

Assorted Notes

Z-axis does not go higher than 145mm
If you are not using your the printer, unload the filament, park it and COVER it.
After a while, lube the printer’s arms. Don’t overdo it. A little dab is enough. Sewing oil works fine if you run out of the supplied Prusa paste.

Filament

Keep the filament in a sealed plastic bag! Dust is an enemy. I tried these bags as a way to keep the filament moisture-free. People have reported that they don’t do this and just use Ziploc bags with the original dessicant. I am a bit nuts.

Nozzle Offset

In addition to the bed’s flatness, this is a good culprit for shitprints. Right now, I’m rocking -1.128.

Top: Adjusted the height as it was printing.
Middle: This led to shit results… height was not small enough.
Bottom: Ideal height 🥲
