The Prusa i3 Acrylic is a RepRap model originally designed by Josef Prusa. 3D Printer Czar redesigned its Acrylic Frame. Compared to its predecessors and other RepRap machines, Prusa i3 is known for its extreme ease of assembling, reliable printing, and dual extruder option. This kit uses laser-cut acrylic sheets to improve stability. In our experience, the Prusa i3 can be assembled within 3 hours, making it ideal for first-time RepRappers.
