About the Models
The HICTOP Prusa i3 is a Prusa i3 variant by HIC Technology, a Chinese 3D printer fabrication company. There are two variants from HICTOP, the Acrylic High Accuracy Aurora and the Aluminum Frame, with the only difference being the frame material and a slightly taller printing area for the former. They both come in fully assembled and encased or complete DIY kits. The acrylic version will be used for reference and specifications.
