I am praying we get them by XMAS.  Since I can’t control where I am on the list or the production rates, prayer is all I have.

Jajajaja!

That is what prevents me from doing it to me.

Sorry for my poor English. I try to do my best.

Boy this X-Axis looks heavy with the extruder mounted to it.

Similar but agree that looks heavy.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

agree. but bowdenfeed instead is possible, thera are many bowdenfeeder designs on thinkiverse. maybee moskito hotend, for lightwight.

there is a remix also for standart reprap 8 mm rod design, should be easyliy changable to the thicker 10 (or is it 12?) mm rods for standing axis

 

But teh most benefit of nowdays prusas isnt there: mes bed leveling, spring steel magnetic bed...

That's quite neat the zesty nimble: https://zesty.tech/

Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

That looks promising.  I am not sure how well it would work on a Prusa.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

There are a few reviews out - ppl are using them on CoreXY machines. If it can keep up extruding on a fast CoreXY like the Railcore it should not be  an issue on a slower machine like the funbot or even a prusa mini.

I was frankly perplexed when the mini was announced that prusa went the bowden route. The nimble is not a brand new product - maybe manufacturing a part like this is cost prohibitive for the pricepoint of the mini. Maybe someone will mod a mini...

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

The Zesty is a really interesting design - I backed their original Kickstarter. I've not seen anyone incorporate their approach into any printer design, only users applying them as after-market mods. I wonder if perhaps the cost is the issue? It certainly seems like a good idea, using a cable to let the extruder motor weight be separate from the direct drive gear.

I ask myselfe about the accuracy of the filament flow. I know such flex axis known for issues and they have a little bit of lag because of its flexiness

You think it is worse than bowden?

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

well, of course i dont know, but i think its worser with longer flex axis. thinking of how short the bowden tube on the mini is, it would be higly presumably that both systems are equal good/worse. so i dont think the printer would benefit. larger bowden constructions, maybe on a xyvore printer, would eventualy benefit.

 

guess the biggest benefit would be very soft flex materials. so the usage of such a expensive mod suffers only to people, who would print soft flex materials.

this is only my opinion and my imagination. just thinking out loud
