Prusa MINI
The Original Prusa MINI+ is a compact, semi-open Cartesian printer with a 180 × 180 × 180 mm build volume designed as an affordable entry point into the Prusa ecosystem. It uses a 32-bit Buddy control board with silent Trinamic drivers, a filament sensor, a magnetic PEI spring-steel sheet bed, and remote management via PrusaConnect over Wi-Fi. Firmware 5.1.0 added input shaping and Pressure Advance, meaningfully increasing print speeds without hardware changes. It suits beginners and users who need a reliable, compact machine with straightforward setup.
