As someone who has written instructions and procedures for others to follow when doing technical work for many years, I want to say that your video contains clear and concise instructions in logical steps that anyone should be able to follow and have success in their build of the PRUSA i3 Mk3S+. Using correct labeling and nomenclature for parts. Calling out the specific screws and other hardware as it is needed, and providing clarifying comments in your voiceover is excellent. PRUSA should hire you to make assembly and instructional videos. Good luck in your career. I don't know what you plan to focus on but I have no doubt you will excel.
Indeed the standard of these video's should be the standard ALL TH-cam tutorial video's should met before even published. A whole industry of stereotype nitwits printing dolls and vases, and parroting others is what google mostly poops out on search of 3d printed searches ... This is Zen and the art of 3dprinting...
Disagree, way too many jump cuts. Yeah calling out the names of the parts help, but there are some parts I continuously had to rewind on. Very frustrating. I appreciate the video and it is more helpful than the instructions in certain parts, but it's not perfect.
I sent a rep a link to this video and told them to contact her. They need to send her an mk4 kit and let her make the video and release some footage before the mk4 is actually released. Us nerds would love that lil teaser! I hope they have a cool customer service team like other companies I've grown to love.
This is the most comprehensive build guide I've ever seen. No steps skipped, multiple angles shown for each assembly, and not moving super fast. Great job.
OMG! I am absolutely impressed by this young girl and her brother. Kudos to both of you for an awesome job on all levels (assembly details, video editing, clarity, etc.).
"Aurora!! I had to come back and wish you a BIG THANK YOU! I serviced my MK3S+ extruder idler today, and when i tried to assemble back the idler, the bearings were no where to be found. I REMEMBERED seeing TWO bearings, but only found ONE. Suspecting something amiss, i came back to this video of yours and BABBBAAAAMMM !! TRUE ENOUGH, there are TWO bearings (in 22.33 sec of your video) . The 2nd bearing flew into the VERY BOTTOM of my trashcan!! Can you believe my GOOD luck?? My GOOD luck of having your channel documenting this in detail and my luck of finding it in a trashcan filled with alcohol swabs, discarded failed prints and filament strands. Consequently, Aurora, i HAVE to write you this note to say A BIGGGGG THANK YOU. You are a life saver. Hey, Let's do a cross-over video one day, Aurora." From your big loyal fan from Malaysia - Andrew Boey, Beyond Photography
Hi Aurora. I'm at 13:30 of your tutorial, where you show that we should put one bearing from one side and another from the other side, but the official included manual says that we should not push it from the other side, because there is a rim on one of the sides of the holes, which you can feel if you put your finger in. Just wanted to note this, because people may possibly break it, I guess. Other than that, smooth guide so far, thank you for your work.
Wish all tutorial videos on youtube were like yours! They just talk non-sense about the things that are not needed; you only talk about what we need. This is awesome, thanks.
I just bought this printer assembled (waiting impatiently for the 3 week leadtime before it being shipped). I put together my first printer, but now that I have more money than time I opted for the assembled printer. I don't want to miss the knowledge of the printer that the assembly process gives you though, so I have been looking for a good assembly video to learn more about how it is all assembled. This is a GREAT video for that, really well put together. It shows all the things you would want to see when building it, but speeds over all the prep work that you don't need to see. The video is also well scripted which avoids the huge amount of stammering and repeating that many printer assembly videos have. Thanks!
Making detailed instructions on how to assemble widgets is part of my job description, and as one who knows how much work goes into small instructionals, I am very impressed with this. This must have been a very big project but you knocked it out of the park. Great attention to detail. Thank you
Through your video, you assist me in the assembly of my Pursa. You made my task easy with your clear and precise instructions combine with exceptional video. I can't tell you how much thankful I am.
Brilliant film. I'm just about to order one i3 mk3s+ but thought assembly was way to complicated. After this video I have decided to go on deep water and order a kit and assembly it myself. Congrats to a very detailed and instructive video
I know this is an old video Aurora, but I truly appreciate your detail to this as I just bought my first Prusa and I will use this video during my build. Thank you again.
An unbelievably great "how to" presentation. I've seen nothing better. I'd love to hear the story of how much work it really was to do such a perfect presentation. I'm sure it was an enormous amount of work... but certainly appreciated by all. Thank you!.
Why can't all the instructional video's, be as clear, and concise as this one is. Great job, I would have no problem what so ever, in having her build my own i3 MK3+
Great video. Between this, the printed manual and the online manual on the Prusa site, I feel really good about putting the printer together. You make inserting the square nuts look easy, where I had a lot of trouble with them. I saw another video where the installer used the flat part of a flat head screwdriver to push the square nuts in. I tired this and it made the process a whole lot easier. You just have to seat the square nut first. I'm also a big fan of the Prusa pull technique to get the hex nuts into their spots.
Super Video!.. Just assembling my 3+ now. At 15:38.. Prusa instructions have the idler on the X axis motor reversed from what you show. The belt goes closest to the motor.
this intimidates me. there is so many steps. the guide helps a ton and she is giving clear instructions. havnt bought the prusa mk3s+ yet. but iam probably going to since i've heard it is a banger of a machine
This instruction video is perfect. I'm interested in 3d printing as a hobby but have been apprehensive about building the kit. This masterclass of an instruction video removed those fears, and I've finally placed my order for a Prusa. Thank you, Aurora. I'm a subscriber now and looking forward to learning more.
Well done . Your guide is very detailed and helpful. I am very impressed. Done much better that most (if not all) of the other tutorials available for the prusa. You have a great future at teaching and tech. All the best.
Thank you for the perfect video! I just want to add one small detail - before you put the bearings on the X-axis, rotate all the bearings so that the two adjacent rows of balls are at a 45 degree angle from the vertical plane. The weight of the extruder will be better distributed and the polished rods will not wear out so much. Details are described in the original printer assembly instructions.
My goodness is this a fantastic video. I just bought a Prusa while I wait for it to arrive I wanted to watch assembly videos. Some are so long and drawn out I can't watch others are too fast and don't really go through the steps. I must say so far this is the best video I've seen yet. Instructions are crystal clear, presentation is amazing, right to the point and well paced. You are very talented indeed, I don't know what you want to do with your future, but I'm sure you will succeed. Fantastic job.
Because my manual was in Japanese, I had to rely on your video completely. There were a few differences between yours and mine. Also I had to go backwards a few times since the video missed one or two details but that is understandable given this isn't a 6hr video. Thanks for making it!
2 things... I'm amazed at the quality of this video. I'm expecting mine in a couple of weeks and after hearing assembly could be a challenge I looked for videos to watch ahead of time and this is by far the best one I found. Good job!! Second, I couldn't help notice your brother only showed up to put the sheet on the bed and to eat gummy bears. :)
@@kox-killzcymerii3322 Yep, I got mine right when it was scheduled. The assembly took me 13 hours over two days and another hour to neaten up the wires once I was sure everything was working. You won't regret buying this printer; it's a beast.
@@Admiral_John it really is. Im printing on mine no problem. Of coz good calibration is in order and never gona hurt but even after first layer and startup calibration my Benchy looks great.
Wow, that is quite a build video. One note to users building this printer, make sure the frame is not twisted, after attaching the aluminum extrusions to the gantry plate. It’s probably just the table you worked at, but it could look like there was a little rocking in the frame. I assembled the frame on glass table, and used the rocking test (likely press down on each corner in turn) to make sure the frame is not twisted. I had a to do a few adjustments before my frame was straight. For me, the biggest reason to have the Prusa is not for build quality. I can achieve similar quality from other printers. But my Prusa is still my go-to printer, simply because of reliability and repeatability of the printer.
Only one mistake so far at 22:07 ,IR sensor should be connected to the x-carriage with m2x8 not m3x10 but till this chapter everything is exactly same with the instruction book very well done and thank you for investing your time to shoot and edit this video! It is really helped me a lot!
I was looking for a guide to do this and was excited to see that you made one. I've seen many of your videos from searches in the past and you always do a great job. Thank you very much.
At 19:32 don't forget to put in the square nut that goes under the ball bearing housing on the D1 body. This square nut is for the IR cover M3x10 screw. Don't ask how I know :) The orientation of the hotend is also incorrect for most of the video. The wires from the heating block should be pointed towards the fan. It cannot be adjusted once the extruder motor is attached. Overall a very good guide, thanks :)
There are some really good presenters in the 3D Printing space on TH-cam and you and your brother are up there with the best of them in terms of quality of presentation, knowledge and passing on the information in a clear and concise manner. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the time and effort for this fantastic video, I had this running while also reading online Prusa Instruction manual ( read the comments BEFORE you do each step, gives you plenty of hints and tips). My one bit of advice is, there are times when you should check the alignment of the nuts, as if they are not in enough it can cause a huge headache later on, something I found when doing the X carriage assembly and I couldn't get the screw to bite. Just poking a allen key ( hex key) in and giving it a wiggle can save you hours of dismantling.
Awesome vid... awesome job... I received a used Prusa i3 MK2 that looks like it may have been upgraded to an MK2.5s. It is in pretty bad shape. I'm in the process of refurbishing it and upgrading it with a BEAR 2.1 upgrade kit. Because I received it used as is (for free) I didn't get the kit assembly and use manuals. I wanted to learn how to take it apart and put it together easily and quickly so I know what to expect when upgrading it with the kit I have. Your vid was a great help. Your steps spell everything out very well. I'll bookmark this vid to keep handy for whenever I need to do any maintenance. I know the BEAR upgrade will change everything but this is a very good reference vid for where my printer first started out as. Thanks.... keep up the good work...
I’m waiting for my new Prusa so I’m looking for information and videos. Really thanks for your video. Very effective. A outstanding professional presentation.
12:07 First time I did this I thought I had misread the manual on how much to fold over for the y-axis strap. Thing was abit tough to install to the carriage due to how tight the belt was tho it still needed to be snugged with the long bolt to get the required stiffness. My trusty ifixit PC repair kit really helped with this build. Have decent brand name tools for larger projects (Milwaukee, Husky, etc) but ifixit was the only tool kit that had the required hex heads to hold those nuts.
Thank you for such an amazing and detailed video. I was planning on buying the Prusa mkds+ assembled but I feel way more confident now after seeing your video!
Excellent detail, very clear and concise and at the right presentation speed, thanks for the great video. You have skills that a lot of video presenters should watch as a guide for their own. PS: New Prusa MK3S+ owner waiting for delivery.
First of all: you're both adorable Second: this is such a well made video! You explained things very well and the editing was brilliant! I wanna see you succeed.
Aurora, I want to say that your video is the most detailed video I have seen about assembling the Prusa. However, there is an error at 22:04 when you say to use a 3 X 10 screw to fix the IR sensor to the extruder. That is incorrect; it is a 2 X 8 mm screw. Unfortunately, I followed your instructions and ruined the part of the extruder and the IR sensor, trying to get the 3mm screw in. It is my fault that I did not consult with the Prusa instruction manual; however, I hope that you could post the correction on screen. Again, I am extremely grateful for your work and detail on this video! Keep up the good work!
Hello, 13:31 on the lower side there is a taper so that the bearings cannot slip out there. The bearings must not be inserted on this side. In the video, however, this has been said so (flip it over)...
I just got my kit and will build this weekend. This video will definable be there on a screen to giide me through it. I will report back whn i am done, wish me luck
This is a really helpful video. Thank you: I love this level of detail. I'm looking to get a Prusa just as soon as I finish a space in my house for it. Now I'm happy with the quality of the machine and how it's put together.
Wished I saw this video before starting. Great tips and extremely detailed and precise instructions. I'm currently stuck with a nut that stripped a 3d part while trying to make it sit in place. Waiting for the replacement part from Prusa. Excellent service btw!
I found and watched this video after trying to assemble my i3 MK3S+ and breaking the printer extruder-body at the beginning of the extruder assembly chapter when trying to seat a nut in a prefabricated cut out. From the tutorial you provided, it looks like you had a much easier time seating the hex and square nuts than I did. Great tutorial video!! I hope I didn't get poorly printed parts from prusa because my frustration at seating these small parts has been nearly constant across the entire build process :(
Amazing assembly guide, I havent bought a Prusa yet but Im looking into it and when I do I will def. look at this guide while assembling it! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Sweden!! =)
The printer build went very smooth. I watched the video while building it as well as read the instruction manual. It worked perfectly as soon as I powered it up and I’ve printed several items already. Keep up the great videos!
Hi, I ordered a Prusa MK3S in China, some components were generic but overall it’s about 90% similar, the company is called MX Research, I was a little disappointed about that. Also it came with no instructions. So I wanted to thank you 🙏🏻 for making this awesome guide.
This mess I am dealing with is my first printer. The only building experience I got is putting my latest pc together... But other than saving money, I really just felt I needed to work it from the ground up, so I understand the machine better and will have some degree of understanding of what may be wrong and how to fix it when that eventually becomes a need. Its going reeeal slow. xD
Hi Aurora from Australia, i am 73 years old and putting together a MK3 S kit, i have found your video absolutely invaluable, very well presented and easy to follow well done Regards Trevor
Thank you so much for this guide, finally finished minus the IR sensor after putting half of everything on backwards! Now just need to wait on the IR sensor, can't thank you enough!

Hello, 13:31 on the lower side there is a taper so that the bearings cannot slip out there. The bearings must not be inserted on this side.
In the video, however, this has been said so (flip it over)...
Just bought my prusa and I'm glad I found your video, Thank you 👍🏼
I just got my kit and will build this weekend. This video will definable be there on a screen to giide me through it. I will report back whn i am done, wish me luck
Jeezus you are way professional and brilliant than me. You are quite impressive!
Very impressive production. Really bright future. Thank you for putting this video together.
I just bought the printer kit and i found this video. It is amasing :-) thank you very much. Keep on dooing suchs videos :-)
This is a really helpful video. Thank you: I love this level of detail.
I'm looking to get a Prusa just as soon as I finish a space in my house for it. Now I'm happy with the quality of the machine and how it's put together.
Job well done with this step by step detailed assembly video!!
Best assembly guide so far. Well done!
Very high quality guide. Thanks for making!
That is a lot of work and you did it well.
Wished I saw this video before starting. Great tips and extremely detailed and precise instructions. I'm currently stuck with a nut that stripped a 3d part while trying to make it sit in place. Waiting for the replacement part from Prusa. Excellent service btw!
What a good comprehensive explanatory video. I will certainly refer to this when I build my printer. Well done 👍
I found and watched this video after trying to assemble my i3 MK3S+ and breaking the printer extruder-body at the beginning of the extruder assembly chapter when trying to seat a nut in a prefabricated cut out. From the tutorial you provided, it looks like you had a much easier time seating the hex and square nuts than I did. Great tutorial video!! I hope I didn't get poorly printed parts from prusa because my frustration at seating these small parts has been nearly constant across the entire build process :(
Amazing assembly guide, I havent bought a Prusa yet but Im looking into it and when I do I will def. look at this guide while assembling it! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Sweden!! =)
Great video! My printer kit is on the way, so I will be watching a few more times.
The printer build went very smooth. I watched the video while building it as well as read the instruction manual. It worked perfectly as soon as I powered it up and I’ve printed several items already. Keep up the great videos!
Hi, I ordered a Prusa MK3S in China, some components were generic but overall it’s about 90% similar, the company is called MX Research, I was a little disappointed about that. Also it came with no instructions. So I wanted to thank you 🙏🏻 for making this awesome guide.
Glad I just ordered an already assembled one. I don't have the patience to put it together. Been there done that with Anet to Enders.
This mess I am dealing with is my first printer. The only building experience I got is putting my latest pc together... But other than saving money, I really just felt I needed to work it from the ground up, so I understand the machine better and will have some degree of understanding of what may be wrong and how to fix it when that eventually becomes a need.
Its going reeeal slow. xD
@@zhoupact8567 Yea for a first 3d printer I would want to build it. Glad I did with Anet and Ender.
I’m confused, you say insert 4 hex nuts to the enclosure at 32:12 you circle an area where it does not fit.
Loved this highly detailed video. Please, keep them coming.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing work. Thank you very much. Earned a new fan today!
Hi Aurora from Australia, i am 73 years old and putting together a MK3 S kit, i have found your video absolutely invaluable, very well presented and easy to follow well done Regards Trevor
Great video! Will be using it next week when my printer gets here! Thank you!!!
Excellent video. Why arn't all instructional videos this good
Thank you for the excellent build video. It was a huge help!
Hi - Awesome Video! I can't find any valuable info on the reasons that the x axis length test will fail. Any suggestions on what to check?
Your video is so informative! Thank you
This is one of the best tutorials on TH-cam, period. It makes some of the car repair videos on this website look like they were filmed by drunk apes.
Honestly I go to your video when I get confused by PRUSA's official assembly guide. They should give you a job!
Thank you so much for this guide, finally finished minus the IR sensor after putting half of everything on backwards! Now just need to wait on the IR sensor, can't thank you enough!
You are welcome, I am glad it helped!
Wow, this video took some making. Very good work.
Excellent presentation! Thanks guys, keep up the good work 👍🏼 I will be looking forward to more of your future videos 👌🏼
perfect video, helped me to plan my disassembly of the printer to change the bearings or at least re-grease them nicely. Thanks a lot, thumbs up!
