Hi,
My Prusa i3S is up and running. I spent most of two days doing the build. Not because it was difficult, but because I wasn't in a rush. I spent probably 12-13 hours building it. I could have done it quicker, but my union has a lot of long tea breaks.
The build manual is easy and through to follow. Plenty of good clear photos and simple instructions. It was a joy to build. The printer worked correctly on the first power up and calibration. Thank you to you guys who recommend this machine!
I was amazed at how fast I got the machine. I was told 4-5 week backlog when I ordered. I figured even longer with the world as it is now. But at 3 weeks I received an email last Tuesday saying it was shipping. I figured a week or a bit better to get it to me up here in Frostbite Falls minimum. 2 days later, it arrived at my doorstep.
I can't get Next Day Air from a US company in less than 4 days due to where I live. UPS and the USPS will not deliver to my house either. And FedEx is iffy. So color me impressed and shocked!
I figure I will spend next week printing some simple pre-tested models on the included SD card to learn about my machine. And then perhaps I might get a little adventurous and fire up FreeCAD and design a simple item to slice and print. And I got a complete 4 cylinder engine that I got off of Thingiverse downloaded.
Obligitory photo of the printer running a tree frog.
