Prusa i3 MK3 [MESSIER 106]

The Prusa i3 MK3S is an excellent intermediate desktop FDM printer that prints in a wide array of different materials. The Prusa i3 MK3S was voted the "Best 3D printer" according to All3DP.com and MAKE: Magazine, where the MK3S also received "Editor's Choice" as the highest-rated 3D printer in 2019 Digital Fabrication Guide. The MK3S features a rebuilt extruder, numerous sensors, and various smart features. Plus it offers a new magnetic MK52 heatbed with replaceable PEI spring steel print sheet.

Printing on this machine costs $0.04 per gram, and makers are expected to set up build plates, operate the machine, and remove the 3D print themselves.
