Prusa 2 and Prusa 3 maintenance complete

Prusa 2 and Prusa 3 have now had their firmware updated, calibrations performed, and all lubrication and maintenance except for nozzle replacement completed. I didn’t see the nozzle wrench over there, so I’ll have to bring mine from home and change them out next time I come over.

Prusa 4 and 5 are my next targets, hopefully Monday afternoon if they are open and my schedule permits.

There are tools in the garage and the hot shop. Just be sure to put them back when done.

I appreciate the offer, but there is actually a specifically designed wrench to make removing and installing nozzles easier. Doing it with regular wrenches can be an exercise in frustration.

You’re an angel John! I’d be happy to meet you out there this afternoon to learn a bit about the process and help with the maintenance schedule.

I have my 4 year CT scan at my Oncologist’s at 3 pm, and then will head over to the space after that to take a look and see about doing maintenance on Prusa 4. Should be over there probably around 3:45 or so…

Might be closer to 4 since I guess the appointment is at 3:30 instead. Gonna go in early to get the labs out of the way…

John is awesome! Tonight I printed a little articulated thing on Prusa 1 to prove that I should not give up on the Prusas… no brim no supports it stuck just fine and printed great.

Prusa 4 has a clog that needs more help than the tools we had but the others are rocking on, freshly lubricated and calibrated.
