I hope this means your review will be coming soon. I bought one yesterday anyway based on your other reviews and your thoughts on this machine, I hope I made the right decision :-D
After the selftest it said to me "Filament Sensor Wiring error" but I double checked the cable. I also used a multimeter and the wire is totally fine. What should i do now?
I love that this is available as a kit or pre-build at different/affordable price points. REALLY AWESOME. open source; great for developers. OUTSTANDING!
Never would of took you guys for 3D printing people, but I’m a great fan and can’t wait for you to incorporate 3D printed parts into a future build even if it is just for a dashboard switch cover or something tiny
Hi Josef, this Video marks the end of an excellent Documentation! I finished the Build of the Mk3s 2hs ago. No problems, everything worked from the beginning. Thanks a lot!
This video saved my ***. I got the fully assembled version and thought I needed to do calibration but it erases the already configured calibration. I really didn't know what to look for in the first layer and giving me the reference point of "about 1mm" was exactly what I needed to know to start. Thank you!!!
There's something very gratifying in seeing people focus on innovation and quality. Not following everyone else and doing things their own way often finding far better ways.
I just finish building it!!! A Piece of art! ... will spend more time building things instead of adjusting/fixing the freaking printer.... Thank you Prusa Team!
This video did not helped me in setting up my printer, assembly guide and user manual was enough. What this video did was accompanying me for 25 minute calibration process so I did not felt alone. Thanks Josef :)
I finished building my mk3 in prox. 6 h and calibration / 1. layer hight in prox. 30 min. I have printed some things from SD. Everthing works perfekt from the beginning on. Thanks Prusa Team !!!!
Hi Jo! I just received my MK3 last week and I want to thank you for making such an amazing product. The Printer works absolutely perfect from the first print and I already ran it overnight without any problems.
Thank you! Just completed building my new i3 mk3 worked, first time! printed Prusa logo looks good, now printing whistle. I can't wait for the MMU 2.0! Will be printing conductive and flexible for various projects. Another satisfied customer
I couldn't figure out why my prints were so wonky after calibration, this video showing the -1.1mm really rung the bells and I just finished the badge without errors. Thank you!
4:53 here my print head doesn’t move up but still says to put the steel sheet in. When I do that and press to continue, it crashes the nozzle and I have to reset it. Using Prusa MK3S+ with firmware 3.15
can't wait for mine to arrive in on thursday. At the uni lab i have dmls sls sla and fdm by stratasys, haas and such major brands to play with, but this is my first very own 3d printer and i am excited like a child:) It took me 3 weeks to decide. I really can't wait even paid eur20 more to have guaranteed 2 day delivery:) I know the result will be far from what i've experienced with the big machines, but now i can wake up at 2am with some idea , draft it and have it ready in the morning. The choice was between Zortrax 3 and the Prusa mk3s and Prusa won by the waaay lower price , the great community built around it and the great vibe it has. And now it is miiiine!
I'm looking into 3D printers for a moment now. After a lot of research I got so hyped for a MK3s! Can't wait to get my wife around so I can actually buy one.
I moded some Prusa i3 MK3S and printed also PEEK. They work great. I also built an professional enclosure. There are great working machines with enough space for improvements.
Thanks Josef and team! Still waiting for mine to ship, but this will be incredibly helpful come February! :) Also, I just purchased that intro music track for a client based video I’m editing and I’ve heard nothing but that audio track for two days, so I laughed pretty hard when the first thing I hear after getting back from the office is that same darn track. 😂😂😂
I have only been printing for about 7 months now. I've been bitten by the bug. I have 4 printers already and this is definitely gonna be my fifth. I hear a lot of good things about your printers. I cant wait to get mine. 🤗
Josef thanks i finally got a working 3d printer and man its quiet!! Assembled in a afternoon printing in the evening. NO more Chinese crap only prusa original from now on!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
There printers are top quality, simple and easy to use. but that's not why they are the best in my opinion. There easy to understand software and guides are what makes them great! And who cant love this guy :,D I love my mk2 and I am so getting the mk3 :D
I just bought this so I can build a Tesla turbopump which means I'm going to test if my concept* works AND I get to use my awesome new Prusa i3 MK 3 to replace my broken dishwasher nozzle at the same time! Huzzah! Thanks so much Josef and the rest at Prusa 3D! You're a good eggs and I hope history has a page for your folks cuz you deserve it! *Tesla turbo-pump will have a vacuum compressor intake before and after a Tesla turbine to suck the heat out of the water and hot air inside the dish washer resulting in faster drying/cooling without having to expend any extra energy besides what's already used to wash the dishes. I mean I wanted to start with a (what might be a self-powering) turbofan instead but the wife told me it was either I fix the dishwasher or I'm on exclusive hand-washing dish duty for the house until I get that nozzle fixed so it's that while doing turbofan or put the tasks together.
Hello Josef. Thank you for the really great product! And your presentation! I am excited for laying my hands on this machine. First few prints work as designed!! Vladimir.
Just finished up with a new MK3s build. Apparently the protruding screws are no longer being used? (5:06 in the video)The spring plates now just rest on the bed and are bit off-center. This is now the norm according to support. Dunno, seems a bit Creality like to me.
Great video! I always follow your instructions and rarely have any problems with my mk2s. I look forward to the same experiences with my soon to arrive Mk3 upgrade kit.
Loved the MK2 so much I had to get the MK3! Great support, great printer, I wish I could manage everything as good as you! Did it right! BTW - just got my MK3 up and running, prints awesome! Awaiting an MK4...
2:00 You guys should use "-\|/" as your waiting "cursor" instead of just "-|". It looks cooler and goes way back to old unix systems. I remember seeing it on Solaris boxes in the early nineties.
I am having issues with Calibration. Built it ourselves, and I keep getting an X Axis error when it goes all the way left. It stops, then gives me the error. Tried a few things and not sure what’s going on.
My extruder doesn't have the "chimeny" where the filament is inserted into...I dont even see it in the assembly manual. I have the MK3S...maybe they are different?
Im trying to calibrate my first layer. When I roll the knob to a negative number it moves my nozzle further away. When I try move my nozzle to positive it stops at 0 and I cant make it any closer to the bed. very frustrating and I'm feeling like returning this to the store.
I just got my first 3D printer and it’s a prusa MK3S. I am printing in PETG and have my first layer height adjusted to -1.100. That seems to print great. When I try and attempt to print anything, though, nothing sticks to the print bed and it ends up bunching all up. I’m lost. Any recommendations? Print bed is set to 90c and nozzle set to 230 for first layer and 240 for the rest. Thank you!
i downloaded the xcalibare thingy and i got some parts not working great ut its not easy to adjust i recently unscrew 1-2 swings on left middle and middle in hope it works but its mainly the filament that goes around the structure that leaves the grid i dont get it.. the prints it self are great!. i run in one issue but it solved itself by printing over it my Z live = 1050 as in videos said but i cant get it completly flat everywere .. if i do to many on 1 sheet like 8 pieces small then i get those not sticky parts @ 1 side
You said that when you were doing the setup for the printer that if the z-axis is not in line with each other that they will go all the way up to make it so that they will be in line again. But the printer I have only went up a little bit and did not make them back inline again and the z-axis also kept pushing down on the heating bed when it was testing the z-axis and I did not think that that was right. Is there a way to make it so that it does not do that anymore.
I keep trying to print the file from the SD card but it's not on there I also tried printing other files from the SD card it came with but it keeps telling me to remove the filament And refuses to start the print I've looked everywhere in the handbook and nothing is helping with this issue
Hi, I'm hoping to you clarify what you mean by "catches on the paper"? 3 of the calibration points the nozzles touches but does not drag the paper, the 4th it drags the paper a little, is that what you mean by catching ? The nozzle does not seem to be contacting the heat bed in that spot.
Hi, I have a Tronxy i3 printer which I understand is derived from your Prusa. I need help. I went to replace the broken X axis Limit Switch over a year ago, removed the original one that I had installed when I built the printer myself, but did not get around to installing the new one that I had waiting. It is a year later and I am now trying to install the new Limit Switch which is exactly the same, but the wires keep pushing into the Z axis steel bar. No matter how I try I can't keep the wires from jamming into the bar or behind it. the sleeves around the wires at the junction are very stiff and I am concerned about breaking them if I bend them too much. What am I doing wrong?? Please help as I am so baffled by it.
I have still a i3 mk3s with a error mintemp. After replacing the extruder cable and the extruder thermistor and also the heatbed cable. Which I thought to be the problem. But the error is still there. I even did a factory reset but that did work either. Could you please help me out with my problem. I'm lost now and don't know what to do now.
My panda sensor is loose and so is out of cal. It is too low as it is hitting the filament that is on the build plate. Is there a video of how to calibrate it?
Eagerly anticipating my first ever 3D printer, a Prusa i3 MK3S+! Question - at the 11:10 mark you jog the bed by hand, is this recommended or frowned upon?
When setting my printer for the first time, I ran the self-check, I received error message "Axis Length Axis X" I moved the wire ties as suggested on the chat rooms with no change. How do I correct this?
After assembling the printer (i3 MK3) about a year ago and enjoying it decided to run the wizard as a maintenance service thing. Well, when I did the printer screen stated the two fans were reversed and needed to be correct before moving on. The only thing that has changed since the building it is software upgrades. Anyone else seeing this?
I’m having a self test error y axis length, it will move the bed all the way forward no problem, then all the way back and then the belt starts to skip and grind... seems like the sensor expects the Y axis to be longer?.... but if I run XYZ calibration alone, no problems... I have about 2 hours of experience in this field lol. But my first thought was weak tension.... but now idk. I’m currently printing the Triceratops Skull... no major issues that I can see(but I also don’t know exactly what I should be looking for either).
I need help 😭 I were able to print 2 tiny pieces for the very fisrt time with my Prusa i3 Mk3s (pictures next messages), the filament was PLA Carbon fiber 1.75mm, but it took me a while to calibrate the printer, anyway, after 4 hours the job was done. But... Now i can't print. I try with different kind of filaments, with the correct temperatures, and of course good calibration with every attempt, but now (after the one and only good impression) the nozzle drags (after .5mm more or less) the extruded filament on the print bed. So i can't print anything new after the first (and successful) try. The firmware is up to date, every selftest is ok, every wizzard calibration says "XYZ calibration ok. X/Y axes are perpendicular. Congratulations!" I have moved the probe in very different possible height, but the problem stays. Please help. Greetings from México.
If you've used carbon filled filament with the standard nozzle, you've very likely destroyed it. It's extremely abrasive and the standard brass nozzle won't last long with it (the manufacturers usually include such info with the printer, I'm pretty sure it's in the printer's Handbook too). Luckily nozzles are very cheap and if you also order some kind of hardned one, you can print abrasive materials such as the carbon filled in the future. You can by the nozzle here: shop.prusa3d.com/en/26-i3-accessories-mk3s-mk25s-etc or anywhere else as long as it's E3D compatible. If you have any more problems in the future, use our 24/7 live chat support at shop.prusa3d.com, youtube is definitely not the best way to troubleshoot things :) - Mikolas
Thanks for this Josef, very interesting to know how to set up correctly. I was given a Prusa i3 (I think it may be one of the very first models. I’ve been replacing parts which were broken etc and it seems to be okay, except for an issue with the software. It is a 200mm cube print area, and I wanted to know how do I get the software to reinstall on the machine. I think it’s got a glitch in it. Any and all assistance is appreciated 😊
Bed Leveling (P.I.N.D.A test). (5:33) Skontroluje sa výška 9 bodov. Aká je max. dovolená odchýlka medzi bodmi? Urobí sa na základe zamerania nejaká matematická korekcia tlače na sklon? Alebo len vyhlási chybu? Ako je to v novších verziách? Ďakujem.
I'd sure love to see a i3 mark "Big" where it has a print bed of 300x300x400 minimum. I'd sell a kidney for that build size with this bulletproof tech!
Hi Joseph. Need some help. I’ve had the prusa i3 mk3s+ for about 4 years now. Suddenly when I try to calibrate it tells me the that fans aren’t spinning, yet they are. And tells me that there’s a self test error and asks me to fix the issue and tells me to continuously reboot. Can I get some feedback here as to how I should resolve this issue. I’m currently in Dubai so parts are difficult to get. but if we can get on a call or email I’d deeply appreciate it. I really want to solve this issue asap because I have an assignment I need to print something for asap.
Cuando está calentando empieza a botar PLA en el proceso de nivelación de cama ya lleva residuos y luego al imprimir esos residuos destruyen mi impresión…. Cómo puedo corregir eso
We actually updated the manual a few months ago. This was true mostly with the MK2, the PINDA on MK3 can handle wider range of offsets: "The value should not exceed -2.000 mm. If you have to adjust it more (e.g. 2.500)..."
Update:
Do not use acetone on powder coated sheets! (10:16 is just for the smooth PEI sheet)
Prusa 3D by Josef Prusa I have a question I am considering buying one BUT does it have some filament?
@@chanelcat1041 one or two roll.
arturo pendejo thanks sooooo much
nathan villeneuve just one and sorry not getting back to you something is not working with my phone
So what kind of treatment do you recommend for powder coated sheets? I am ordering an MK3 next month and think I will go with the new sheets.
This video will really help me setup my printer up ! Happy New Years
I hope this means your review will be coming soon. I bought one yesterday anyway based on your other reviews and your thoughts on this machine, I hope I made the right decision :-D
Because I don't know how to build a reprap and am a TH-cam shill
After the selftest it said to me "Filament Sensor Wiring error" but I double checked the cable. I also used a multimeter and the wire is totally fine. What should i do now?
@@markwilliams5654 wtf
Nice job Prusa! I like how you showed the proper first layer using real pictures, which will be immensely helpful!
I love that this is available as a kit or pre-build at different/affordable price points. REALLY AWESOME. open source; great for developers. OUTSTANDING!
Bye bye K8200, hello i3.. keen to start putting ours to use!
Never would of took you guys for 3D printing people, but I’m a great fan and can’t wait for you to incorporate 3D printed parts into a future build even if it is just for a dashboard switch cover or something tiny

The live Z calibration is an awesome feature! Very impressive machine.
The mk2 had that already
I will never the money for this printer but seeing it being set up and printing brings joy to me !! Nice one Josef.
Nice video Josef. @9:38 is a good photo for how the first layer calibration should look.
Wow, you have spent a long time programming that wizard to be so easy to use.
Adam Bryant I'd guess it to be one of the easier parts, however I see it's immensely valuable.
There's something very gratifying in seeing people focus on innovation and quality. Not following everyone else and doing things their own way often finding far better ways.
I just finish building it!!! A Piece of art! ... will spend more time building things instead of adjusting/fixing the freaking printer.... Thank you Prusa Team!
Dude shout out Joe for putting up a video so I don’t have to read the handbook and can just follow along after assembly. Dudes a real G
This video did not helped me in setting up my printer, assembly guide and user manual was enough. What this video did was accompanying me for 25 minute calibration process so I did not felt alone. Thanks Josef :)

I just placed an order for the Prusa i3 MK3s. This makes me happy that, after 3 weeks of watching videos, I decided to buy the Prusa
Thank you! Just completed building my new i3 mk3 worked, first time! printed Prusa logo looks good, now printing whistle. I can't wait for the MMU 2.0! Will be printing conductive and flexible for various projects. Another satisfied customer

Just bought your MK3 Printer for my son for Christmas, really looking forward to get into 3D printing! 👌🏻
Just test printed the first object. Thank you for the instructions. It was a joy to assemble the printer myself, over the weekend.
Finished assembling my MK3 a week ago, apart from fiddling with Z-level to get proper bed adhesion, it has been working perfectly! cheers
Finished the build of my prusa a few minutes ago and am already printing! Great machine!!!
can't wait for mine to arrive in on thursday. At the uni lab i have dmls sls sla and fdm by stratasys, haas and such major brands to play with, but this is my first very own 3d printer and i am excited like a child:) It took me 3 weeks to decide. I really can't wait even paid eur20 more to have guaranteed 2 day delivery:) I know the result will be far from what i've experienced with the big machines, but now i can wake up at 2am with some idea , draft it and have it ready in the morning. The choice was between Zortrax 3 and the Prusa mk3s and Prusa won by the waaay lower price , the great community built around it and the great vibe it has. And now it is miiiine!
I'm looking into 3D printers for a moment now. After a lot of research I got so hyped for a MK3s! Can't wait to get my wife around so I can actually buy one.
I moded some Prusa i3 MK3S and printed also PEEK. They work great. I also built an professional enclosure. There are great working machines with enough space for improvements.
Thanks Josef and team! Still waiting for mine to ship, but this will be incredibly helpful come February! :)
Also, I just purchased that intro music track for a client based video I’m editing and I’ve heard nothing but that audio track for two days, so I laughed pretty hard when the first thing I hear after getting back from the office is that same darn track. 😂😂😂

Just bought my first printer. Very excited. Love the quality instructional video! Very much appreciated 🙏
Hi, I am Hong Maker. I am glad that the Korean subtitles I made are reflected in this video.
Thank you for the subtitles!
Thank you for including troubleshooting for this. I hate it when other tutorials just assume everything goes well without a single problem.
I am sooo excited!! (Typing this with one hand while holding a white sheet of paper as the printer is calibrating the 4 corners :) )
First print is running. Took me like 10 hours to build the printer.Great quality! What I needed, just fire and forget until it‘s done! :-)
Josef thanks i finally got a working 3d printer and man its quiet!! Assembled in a afternoon printing in the evening. NO more Chinese crap only prusa original from now on!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
Josef, great video!! These videos will help a 3D printing novice such as myself get up and running quickly with the Prusa MK3. Thanks again!!
There printers are top quality, simple and easy to use. but that's not why they are the best in my opinion. There easy to understand software and guides are what makes them great! And who cant love this guy :,D
I love my mk2 and I am so getting the mk3 :D
I received my Prusa yesterday, I have not unpacked it yet. Will do so next week, I am truly excited
Why wait a week
I just bought this so I can build a Tesla turbopump which means I'm going to test if my concept* works AND I get to use my awesome new Prusa i3 MK 3 to replace my broken dishwasher nozzle at the same time!
Huzzah! Thanks so much Josef and the rest at Prusa 3D! You're a good eggs and I hope history has a page for your folks cuz you deserve it!
*Tesla turbo-pump will have a vacuum compressor intake before and after a Tesla turbine to suck the heat out of the water and hot air inside the dish washer resulting in faster drying/cooling without having to expend any extra energy besides what's already used to wash the dishes.

Glad to be a proud owner of a Prusa Mk3s since today!😁
Couldn't it be doing the heater tests at the same time as some of the other tests to save time?
Great video Josef, Crystal Clear Instructions ! Happy Printing.........
Great video! I always follow your instructions and rarely have any problems with my mk2s. I look forward to the same experiences with my soon to arrive Mk3 upgrade kit.
Outstanding guide ! No wonder why Prusa is the best !
Just bought Prusa Mk3 thank you for your video the setup was super easy
I still can’t believe how nice or a release that print bed is.
Definitely better than exploding glass.
Just got my assembled MK3 today, first print was perfect. Thanks for everything!
Josef Prusa is a brave, brave man tipping his IPA bottle towards his laptop... salute to you.
On the skew calibration, with the paper underneath, if it drags a bit which way should I adjust the Pinda probe?
Lower the PINDA very slightly.
Every company should do this kind of videos.
1:44 print fan and nozzle cooling fan are the wrong way around? Print cooling is the front one and the noctua is the nozzle/heatbreak cooling one
Great idea to make such a series of Videos , cant wait my MK3 arrives.
Just ordered my MK3S yesterday. Super excited to start printing.
Loved the MK2 so much I had to get the MK3! Great support, great printer, I wish I could manage everything as good as you! Did it right! BTW - just got my MK3 up and running, prints awesome! Awaiting an MK4...
2:00 You guys should use "-\|/" as your waiting "cursor" instead of just "-|". It looks cooler and goes way back to old unix systems. I remember seeing it on Solaris boxes in the early nineties.
The code is open you can make a custom version.
I am having issues with Calibration. Built it ourselves, and I keep getting an X Axis error when it goes all the way left. It stops, then gives me the error. Tried a few things and not sure what’s going on.
"So cumbersome, that's why I had never bought a 3D printer until the Prusa Mk4 came out - fantastic device."
8:42 what is this line called? Enter line? Inter line? I am interested but can't find a match for either
My extruder doesn't have the "chimeny" where the filament is inserted into...I dont even see it in the assembly manual. I have the MK3S...maybe they are different?
Nice promo vid there Josef. I've heard a lot about the Prusa but never seen one. Looks like a good printer.
I just bought my first Prusa last week and already i cant wait for it to get here... 3-4 weeks to go...
Im trying to calibrate my first layer. When I roll the knob to a negative number it moves my nozzle further away. When I try move my nozzle to positive it stops at 0 and I cant make it any closer to the bed. very frustrating and I'm feeling like returning this to the store.
Just got my printer ordered! I can't wait for it to arrive. Though I'll have to indeed wait.
Josef you are a legend among men! so very glad you are making such world beating progress

I have 1 printer and it's great. How to improve the dimensions of the printouts because some 0,11 - 0.15 mm are too large.
Ich habe seit zwei Jahren einen MK3s, ich liebe diesen Drucker. Der funktioniert super, würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen .

I’m having a self test error y axis length, it will move the bed all the way forward no problem, then all the way back and then the belt starts to skip and grind... seems like the sensor expects the Y axis to be longer?.... but if I run XYZ calibration alone, no problems...
I have about 2 hours of experience in this field lol. But my first thought was weak tension.... but now idk. I’m currently printing the Triceratops Skull... no major issues that I can see(but I also don’t know exactly what I should be looking for either).
Excellent and informative video, thanks a lot. Can’t wait to receive my printer.
I need help 😭
I were able to print 2 tiny pieces for the very fisrt time with my Prusa i3 Mk3s (pictures next messages), the filament was PLA Carbon fiber 1.75mm, but it took me a while to calibrate the printer, anyway, after 4 hours the job was done. But...
Now i can't print.
I try with different kind of filaments, with the correct temperatures, and of course good calibration with every attempt, but now (after the one and only good impression) the nozzle drags (after .5mm more or less) the extruded filament on the print bed. So i can't print anything new after the first (and successful) try.
The firmware is up to date, every selftest is ok, every wizzard calibration says "XYZ calibration ok. X/Y axes are perpendicular. Congratulations!"
I have moved the probe in very different possible height, but the problem stays.
Please help. Greetings from México.
If you've used carbon filled filament with the standard nozzle, you've very likely destroyed it. It's extremely abrasive and the standard brass nozzle won't last long with it (the manufacturers usually include such info with the printer, I'm pretty sure it's in the printer's Handbook too). Luckily nozzles are very cheap and if you also order some kind of hardned one, you can print abrasive materials such as the carbon filled in the future.
You can by the nozzle here:

or anywhere else as long as it's E3D compatible.
If you have any more problems in the future, use our 24/7 live chat support at shop.prusa3d.com, youtube is definitely not the best way to troubleshoot things :)

Thanks for this Josef, very interesting to know how to set up correctly. I was given a Prusa i3 (I think it may be one of the very first models. I’ve been replacing parts which were broken etc and it seems to be okay, except for an issue with the software. It is a 200mm cube print area, and I wanted to know how do I get the software to reinstall on the machine. I think it’s got a glitch in it. Any and all assistance is appreciated 😊
Bed Leveling (P.I.N.D.A test). (5:33) Skontroluje sa výška 9 bodov. Aká je max. dovolená odchýlka medzi bodmi? Urobí sa na základe zamerania nejaká matematická korekcia tlače na sklon? Alebo len vyhlási chybu? Ako je to v novších verziách? Ďakujem.

I'd sure love to see a i3 mark "Big" where it has a print bed of 300x300x400 minimum. I'd sell a kidney for that build size with this bulletproof tech!
Hi Joseph. Need some help. I’ve had the prusa i3 mk3s+ for about 4 years now. Suddenly when I try to calibrate it tells me the that fans aren’t spinning, yet they are. And tells me that there’s a self test error and asks me to fix the issue and tells me to continuously reboot. Can I get some feedback here as to how I should resolve this issue. I’m currently in Dubai so parts are difficult to get. but if we can get on a call or email I’d deeply appreciate it. I really want to solve this issue asap because I have an assignment I need to print something for asap.
Cuando está calentando empieza a botar PLA en el proceso de nivelación de cama ya lleva residuos y luego al imprimir esos residuos destruyen mi impresión…. Cómo puedo corregir eso
So in the manual it says that the z calibration should not go below -1mm however at 9:35 the good is below -1mm. What should we do
We actually updated the manual a few months ago. This was true mostly with the MK2, the PINDA on MK3 can handle wider range of offsets: "The value should not exceed -2.000 mm. If you have to adjust it more (e.g. 2.500)..."
Thank you. I just got my mk2.5 kit done and the pinda has always been my issue. I'm experiencing slight curling on the prints now
