Filament printers work according to the principle of layer-by-layer material extrusion. A thermoplastic filament is heated and precisely applied until a three-dimensional object is created. This technology is characterised by its versatility, cost efficiency and easy access to a wide range of materials.

The Prusa MINI is a smart, compact yet powerful 3D printer. With a print volume of 18 cm in all directions, it offers sufficient space for many applications. Its removable magnetic spring steel plates with different surfaces make it easy to remove prints and enable a flexible choice of materials. Thanks to the automatic grid bed calibration and sensorless homing, the printer works extremely precisely and conveniently. Technically, the printer impresses with super-fast printing thanks to Input Shaper and Pressure Advance with quiet 2209 Trinamic drivers, whereby a maximum nozzle temperature of 280 °C and a heating bed temperature of up to 100 °C can be utilised. The standard nozzle in the printer has a diameter of 0.4 mm, but other diameters are also supported by the software. The layer height can be flexibly adjusted between 0.05 mm and 0.25 mm, making both finely detailed models and fast functional prototypes possible. The standard filament diameter is 1.75 mm. The printer supports a wide range of thermoplastics, including PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, PC, CPE, PVA/BVOH, PVB, HIPS, PP, Flex, nGen, nylon, woodfill and other filled materials.

In addition to USB printing, the Prusa MINI also offers the option of printing via Wi-Fi. The remote print management of the Prusa Connect software and regular OTA firmware updates ensure precise, up-to-date results. As an open source device, the Prusa MINI is not only easy to maintain, but also open to modifications and optimisations. It therefore appeals to both beginners and experienced users who value precision and customisability. Overall, the Prusa MINI combines reliability, quality and innovative spirit in a compact and intelligent device for modern 3D printing.
