-===== Instructions =====
-The Hackspace bought an [[https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit.html | Original Prusa i3 MK3]] in January 2019.
-In 2019 it was upgraded to a MK3S and a hardened steel nozzle was fitted to allow a broader range of materials to be printed.
-In 2022 we were donated a second Prusa MK3S.
-===== Induction manual =====
-**[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AVAh4BzbbXG5mcLhftnJ1X3y2p0lzjk9B-o80Rv_6fQ/edit?usp=sharing | Here is the user guide referred to in the inductions.]]** It includes a lot of basic how to information that isn't covered in the induction, as the induction focuses on health and safety, procedures and rules for fair use.
-In addition to the guide above, you may want to read [[https://prusa3d.com/downloads/manual/prusa3d_manual_mk3s_en_3_10.pdf | Prusa's 3D Printing Handbook]]. The most relevant sections are:

-===== Filament =====
-.75 mm filament only. 2.85/3 mm filament won't fit!
-==== Banned Filaments ====
-Do not use any filament that requires a nozzle temperature above 285 C.
-==== Sourcing Filament ====
-Pretty much any filament not in the Banned Filaments section is suitable for use with the Prusa MK3, some suppliers are listed here: [[resources:sources_of_materials_and_services|Sources of Materials and Services]].
-===== Software ======
-Download the latest version of PrusaSlicer [[https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/ | here]]. Make sure you select the options for Original Prusa MK3S with a 0.4mm nozzle in the configuration wizard.
-**Only use the default Printer Settings in PrusaSlicer.** You are welcome to tweak Filament Settings and it is in your best interests to change Print Settings for every print.
