It was 2 years ago this week when my Prusa I2 (black) printed parts arrived.
My first task, once all of the glitches were worked out, was to print a set of
spare parts. To keep this story short, those spares became the orange Prusa I2. I
ran a 45 minute print to see it work and moved it to the closet. It sits idle. The
I2 doesnt lend itself to upgrades easily and having 2 hotends was a must. So came
the Haeckel with plenty of room for the dual E3D-V6's fed with some Airtripper
filament feeders. Of course I ran across the E3D Chimera hot end after
everything was mounted. I could have saved $100 and a few hours of labor putting
this together. Damn !!! With the addition of the smart controller it is almost a
print on demand printer. No messing around between prints as long as I keep with
the same plastic.Not possible with the P-I2's. The ugly one on the far right is
made up of leftovers from the previous builds.It follows no design or reason. It
will probably end up in the closet as well once I get it printing. My daily driver continues to be the first Prusa (black).
It makes a fine print despite it flaws. I used it to print all of the parts for the
others. I don't doubt it has under 2,000 hours of printing time on it.
Whoever named these replicators really nailed it.
