INTRODUCING THE ORIGINAL PRUSA I3 MK3S+ 3D PRINTER!
The MK3S+ is available as an assembly kit, which is the best way to get to know your new 3D printer. Assemble it screw by screw to learn truly everything about its design and how it works! You can also get it fully assembled and factory tested, so all you need to do is to unpack it and plug it in.
Thanks to all of these (and many other) features, the MK3S became the “Best 3D Printer” according to ALL3DP. The MK3S is also the highest-rated 3D printer, and the “Editor’s Choice”, in the prestigious MAKE:MAGAZINE’s Digital Fabrication Guide 2019. The MK3S is also featured in TechRadar’s Best 3D printers of 2021 as The best all-around 3D printer. NY Times wrote that “…of the 11 printers we’ve tested over the past five years, the Prusa i3 MK3S printer has produced the largest and best-looking prints.” According to ZDNet, the MK3S is “The best pro-sumer 3D printer under 1000 USD.”
The functionality of the MK3S+ can be further enhanced by our unique Multi-Material Upgrade 2S for printing with up to 5 filaments simultaneously.
WHAT’S NEW IN THE MK3S+
SUPERPINDA PROBE
SuperPINDA probe features a hiqh-quality sensor for a fully-automatic Mesh Bed Leveling process. Before every print, the MK3S+ probes the bed in several places and creates a virtual heightmap of the print area. This process ensures that the first layer will always be spot on!
MISUMI BEARINGS & MORE
The MK3S+ features a new set of metal clips for the genuine MISUMI bearings on the Y-axis. The belt tensioning mechanism on the X-axis was reworked and the X-end plastic parts reinforced. The filament path in the extruder was altered for better support of flexible filaments.
DOZENS OF TWEAKS
With all the cumulative upgrades from the entire MK3’s life cycle on board, the MK3S+ is the best version of our award-winning 3D printer so far. Genuine Gates belts, Bondtech drive gears, EINSY RAMBo motherboard, IR filament sensor, and many other features are the reason why the MK3S+ is the perfect 3D printing workhorse.

I had a Cr-10 for over 2 years before buying the Prusa, but it was more a project than a printer. I probably fixed more than printing. But the Mk3s+ is insane! Its a powerhorse, reliable, I start a print and come back after some hours and it’s perfect! It’s so good
Wayne Paul –
Had no experience whatsoever bought the kit as a project for son(14) and i to assemble. Could not be more pleased the instructions were amazingly well done. I needed 0 online support to go from pile of bags and parts to z calibration and then our first print (benchy duh). Never even needed to open the spare parts bag. Dont be scared of the scope or complexity, build this thing yourself even if your not mechanically inclined. the instructions break it down into easy steps. Was a fun time building it and now we know every little bit gear nut belt etc of this machine. Hats off to mr prusa and all his crew.
Felix –
I have an expensive desk ornament that I have spent about 10 hours trying to calibrate today. I made the mistake of trying to change the nozel after my first few prints. Now it wont print straight. And I get a generic check the manual error. The manual is not helpful at all. Boy do I regret this decision. All my fears of a delicate complicated instrument came true. I wish I could call customer service. This is driving me crazy.
Sally Krit –
I took about 9 hours over four nights to assemble the kit. I didn’t hurry and carefully read the online assembly manual and the user contributed comments (essential reading). The printer self tested flawlessly, and I’ve been printing PLA and PETG models for several weeks now with no problems, apart from one first layer adhesion problem while I was getting the Live Z right in the beginning. Very high quality prints. Surpringly quiet machine, and that’s not even on stealth mode. I’ve installed an X motor cable strain relief mod because I didn’t like the angle of the wires as they exit the X motor, although I haven’t heard of any X cabling failures. Overall I am extremely happy with this printer.
Noah –
Got this as an upgrade over my old MK2S and while the printer technically works fine, is a lot quieter than the old one and e.g. the filament-sensor is nice, the print-quality leaves me disappointed. The issue is that my printer exhibits this rather strong, ugly vertical banding and it seems this issue is rather common — Google indicates that people have taken to calling it “VFA.” There’s also seemingly no good fix for it; apparently the only fix is custom firmware and new, different motors! With worse print-quality than my old MK2S, this is a downgrade, not an upgrade.
Maark Lauin –
Putting together this was fantastic! The guide and added goodies were great! My satisfaction was kicked up to the next level because they not only suggested a reward system for making the printer, but they included the treat!!! Such a simple item to include that really made me think they company cares about their customers.

The MK3S+ kit is a marvel. The assembly process went well due to the well-written instruction manual. The most difficult part was finding a flat surface! Tables, countertops, work benches – all had some sort of flaw. I found that the 24″ tiles on the floor of our guest bath were the flattest surface I could find. The only thing better would be an industrial granite surface table. I ordered the kit with the textured steel sheet, which the supplied PLA would not adhere to without using glue stick. Once I started using glue stick, prints came out perfectly! The 3D-printed components of the printer kit are a great example of the capabilities of 3D printing. I am new to this technology, so my learning curve will be steep.
clientservice –
Received the kit 24 months ago and have been happily printing ever since. took me 12 hours to very carefully assemble. I use glue stick quite often as many parts I print have a very small footprint. I have discovered that it I wet the build plate(off the machine) to dilute the old glue stick and then let it dry(preheat) It leaves an almost invisable coating that works killer but easily releases with no evidence of using glue stick

I’ve had my Prusa i3 MK3S+ (Kit) for a little over a year now. I’m a 72 year-old retired Engineer, and the assembly was straight-forward and easy. I DID take 1-1/2 days assembling it, going over everything two or three times before doing something. But it was worth it, the machine fired right up the first time, with no problems. Since then, I have printed hundreds, maybe thousands of all sorts of things, out of ABS, TPU, PETG, PLA, and Polycarbonate. The machine has performed perfectly. It now has over 6000 printing hours, and has printed over 46 spools of filament. Yes, some parts have died, which is to be expected; I replaced the LCD screen and the hot end, and a dozen or so nozzles. But, that’s why I bought this printer; it is easy to buy parts for, and easy to repair. I DO keep it clean, and all printing is done inside an IKEA Lack enclosure I made using PRUSA gcode files for the ‘hardware’. I also keep it lubricated, applying a little silicon grease to the rods as needed. I researched for over 6 months to decide which printer to get. After a year, I am 100% confident that I made the right choice. This is the perfect printer to start 3D printing, which is UNBELIEVABLY FUN!!! GREAT printer!

I just recently built this printer and have been using it nonstop for a week. This is my first 3D printer and 3D printing experience. The build went smooth as the instructions were great as far as I am concerned (I do have a decent mechanical aptitude however and it took me about 8 hours, 9 if you count calibrating and first print verification) . The multi color arrows are the key to putting things in the correct location. The prints have been great fresh from the build. Great quality parts with just a slight learning curve on how to print (had some difficulty with first layers sticking) which were solved with the 3D printing handbook included. So far so good. I have to say this printer is great quality. Love the open source software and components on everything as well!

I now own two of these, and they have probably been the absolute best investment in my small business! They save so much time not having to level the bed, and they can hold some pretty impressive tolerances. I’ve ran these machines non stop for 4 days, and they handle it like a champ! They have hundreds of hours on them now, and I have had to do VERY little maintenance on them so far. There is a reason I bought this printer over other competitors, and that is because if Prusa is using them to run their business, why can’t I? Don’t be fooled by other cheep printers. This thing is the real deal, and it won’t disappoint.
clientservice –
Ironic, but the complaint I have is about the ‘printed’ or ‘moulded’ parts for the self-assembly MK3S+ kit. First of all forget that rubbish about assembling the machine in 8 hours. You will be let down by the instruction manual which gives instructions like ‘… fit the 2 M3 x 10 screws into the 2 holes. Err… which holes. The photographs in the instruction manual are far too small, and you will need a magnifying glass to really discern the pars in some photographs. Back to the printed parts. I sugges Prusa do not use ‘high gloss’ filament. When you are trying to see anything small in a printed part, and you’re using a torch for light, the light bounces back off the high gloss. All in all, I honestly could write/produce a better manual. And who needs Haribo gums?! Finally, the machine is well made, but, the irony is the printed parts aspect of the machine.
clientservice –
These Haribo Gummy bears are quite expensive, but they do come with a free 3D printer. Probably one of the best 3D printer for the price. Absolute unit of a machine. Love it!
