=====Prusa i3 MK3s+=====

{{ :facilities:fablab:equipment-cots:img_1681.png?400|}}The Prusa i3 MK3s+ is a successor to Original Prusa i3 MK3 with hardware and software upgrades which lead to improved reliability and ease of use and assembly.

The Edge purchased 5 Prusa i3s printers to replace the ageing Up mini 2s. 

==== Summary ====

  * Build volume – (250(W) x 210(D) x 210(H) mm (11,025 cm3)
  * 0.4mm nozzle
  * PEI print surface

====FILAMENT MATERIALS====
In theory, the Prusa i3 Mk3s+ can be set up to print using a range of filaments including:
^                      ^                                                  ^
| PLA                  | Polylactic acid (Starch based)                   |
| ABS                  | Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene                  |
| PETG                 | Polyethylene terephthalate (Glycol modified)     |
| Nylon                | Polyamide                                        |
| Composite Materials  | Often PLA with carbon fiber, metal or wood fill  |
| HIPS                 | High-impact polystyrene                          |
| PVA                  | Polyvinyl acetate (Water-soluble Print support)  |
| PP                   | Polypropylene                                    |
In practice, we control the types of filaments permitted for printing, due to the emissions they produce when melted. For the full range, see: [[facilities:fablab:equipment-cots:prusa_i3_mk3s:supportedfilaments|]]
