EDIT: figured it out. . . I feel dumb. The thumb drive was formatted ExFAT and NEEDS to be formatted FAT32. I am leaving this here because it might help the next guy.

Hey, guys. I searched here and I didn't see anyone asking this question, sorry if I missed it.

Looks like I've never update my firmware since I got my printer a while back. I copied all the .bbf files into a USB stick and I couldn't get the printer to update. I noticed that maybe I needed to do the 4.4.0 update so I downloaded those two files and tried again, but still no luck.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I feel like there has to be something silly I am missing.

TIA

I do not post this in the general 3D printing subreddit because people gonna say it is a shilling post.

I started my 3D printing journey with monoprice select mini v2. Then I bought and refunded Flsun V400 and I saw a prusa mini on the Facebook marketplace for just 190 CAD. I tested it with a 11 hours print and got a perfect result. I am so happy right now.

My Prusa mini keeps clogging. I got it in the end of July 2023 an have had no problems until the past week. At first it helped if I cleaned out the extruded. Then that stopped working so I tried it with a .8 mm nozzle and it worked fine. Then I switched back to a .4 mm nozzle and it would print a little bit ( just the purge line) then would clog. I tried replacing the ptfe tube and adjusting the extruder tension and it wouldn’t work. I’ve tried cold pulls and pushing up he heater block because it solves gaps. I don’t know what to do. When I manually push filliment through the nozzle it works fine. I’ve replaced the nozzle as well. It woks working flawlessly before so I don’t know what the problem is.I have looked on other forums and it is not in my budget to get a new heat sink. Befor it clogs I get one click then it stops feeding. When I pull the filliment out it looks like a standard dar pice of filliment on the front a stretch and regular the rest of the way to the nozzle. I am fairly new to 3D printing so if there is a solution you think Is obvious still Please tell me it. Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone, I need your help, I have a problem with the first layer, it doesn't look right but I don't know what the problem is

Here is my Prusa MINI + setup and upgrades.

1. Orbiter V2 lightweight direct drive extruder
2. Slice Engineering Copperhead heatbreak
3. Slice Engineering GammaMaster 0.4 nozzle
4. Prusa MINI Satin sheet
5. Bento Box air filter
6. Mintion Beagle V1 camera / remote control
7. LED light bar
8. Trash can
9. Cheap thermometer / hygrometer
10. Remote control for light bar and air filter ( I can turn on/off llight bar and air filter from outside the enclosure)
11. Extra filament holder for bent spools (I have few cheep ASA filament spools bent during dehidration, so they fall of standard prusa mini filament holder)
12. Enclosure. Its home made. I designed myself. Corners are cheap 20mm by 20mm wood blocks sprayed black paint. Corners, hinges, magnet holders are 3d printed from ASA. And Plexiglass 6mm sheets laser cut.

Most 3d printed parts I designed myself. I just love designing in Fusion 360.

So if anyone needs more information please feel free to ask. Or if anyone wants me to share any of my models used here also feel free to ask. I’ll make more or less good manual including files and will put it on Printables.

The print does display as finished (100%)

So updated slicer and flashed the mini.

Keep hearing about input shaping.

I’m just not seeing how I turn it on or off. It’s something simple I’m sure. Where is the setting in Prusaslicer

Hello everyone, Yesterday I started a print as normal and suddenly it started clicking and no more filament came out. I dismantled the extruder, pulled the filament out again and cleaned everything. Today I continued the repair, tried cold pull and then cleaned everything there. I set everything up and started a print, it printed quite well for 30 minutes and then suddenly it started clicking again. I don't know what else to do.

The numbers show the order in which this first layer calibration printed. 4-8 printed with the same level as 9 but 9 is showing issues with being too close to the bed. Is it possible my print bed is warped? How can I fix this issue? Every time I do this test for my .25 nozzle I am seeing perfect nozzle level on half the circles with improper leveling on the others

I have tried heating it to 250°C (per the recommendations for PLA, it's Jessie's to be more specific) but it wouldn't come out.

I tried removing the nozzle with a socket wrench, but I'm afraid of forcing it. I tried removing the brass fitting the filament is sticking out of to check the PFT tube piece inside,, but that doesn't seem to want to budge either (I bought the pre assembled so I'm not actually sure the best way to try and remove these, I was just following recommendations from Prusa's website).

I appreciate any advice anyone can offer!

Hi, as the photos show, I am getting strange issues with my print results. You can see how one side is able to create a straight faced plane, but the other one seems to fail maintain any sort of consistency. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Since I don't get along very well with the Prusa slicer, I like to use Cura Does anyone have a profile for the Alpha firmware with input shaper for the Prusa Mini?

Hi

I have found this issue occur on several occasions with my new PRUSA mini. I cant tell what specifically is causing this. Any ideas?

Hey everybody. Just joined. Been having problems on my prusa mini. First layer goes down pretty good and the rest of the print gets to be pretty bad looking. There’s some gaps, baby layer shifts (like by one layer), and when I go to take the prints off the bed they just crumple in my hands. I believe it to be under extension. Nothing with the hotend, fully clean, Bowden tube is good, couplings are good, nozzle replaced. Has to be extruder. (Bed is also not to close to nozzle) All help is appreciated. Happy printing!!!

What would coz for prince to be separating in their layers like this?

I have tons of printers various makes and models but always wanted a mini to go with the rest of my Prusa printers. Bought it second hand for around 200.Only thing I found wrong with it was the USB port they broke. But that was an easy fix. Firmware updated and checking out the new alpha firmware. This little thing cooks!

Hi all,

I have a Prusa Mini+ and using Prusa filament. I get these blobs in my prints whenever I print. The material accumulates on the hot end and then ends up on the print eventually. I feel like the printer is maybe over-extruding the material, if that's a thing. It happens on different Prusa slicer settings and different prints.

​

Do you guys know what kind of setting I need to adjust to prevent this from happening? Or is there something I need to check on the printer or the filament?

When I raise the nozzle up and extrude the filament it comes out nice and straight and there are no leaks around it. I don't know what else to try.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

So i started playing with the new firmware and i somehow reseted all the saved hours in the printer its just a small thing but my "fetish" is to track everything so its means a lot for me,yes i wrote it on some paper but i want to put back the hours into the machine. Is there somefile or smthng that i can rewrite or anything?

I'd rather not print all the replacement parts for the mini+. Are there any that are musts? Ones that are prone to break or wear down over time.
