⬢All the boxes and bags including parts for the build are labelled.
⬢The FASTENERS A and FASTENERS B bags include an extra spare of each part contained in the bag. The amount of spare parts is always written on the label under the individual part. This number is included in the total number of each type of part.
The amount of the nylon rivet spare might slightly differ, but never less than the amount indicated on the label.
⬢From the experience of building Original Prusa printers, we know that Haribo Bears are an integral and important part of every kit. Although it's not entirely about building a printer now, we've got your safety in mind, and added some amount of gummy bears to your kit as well.
Do not eat the whole bag right at the beginning of the assembly! It is VERY IMPORTANT to distribute the amount correctly during assembly. We tried all sorts of combinations of quantities. Finally, we reached a successful result.
⬢Open the package and arrange the gummy bears according to the picture. Don't eat anything now! Always wait for instructions.
Your package might contain fewer bears. In such a case, run immediately to the nearest candy store! The exact dosage is absolutely critical!!!
⬢Eat the first gummy bear to boost your energy. Really, just one!
For a better handling, it is recommended to prepare a clean workbench with a space of at least 0.8 m x 0.8 m (31.5 in x 31.5 in). With access from two sides or more.
We're recommending a bright light above your workbench. Some parts inside the enclosure are dark and inadequate light could make a very difficult procedure.
⬢Always read all the instructions at the current step first. This will help you to understand, what you need to do. Don't cut or trim unless you are told to!!!
⬢Don't follow pictures only! It is not enough, the written instructions are as brief as they can be. Read them.
⬢Read the comments from the other users. They are a great source of ideas. We read them too and based on your feedback improve the manual and the entire assembly.
⬢Use a reasonable force. The printed parts are tough, but not unbreakable. If it doesn't fit, check your approach twice.
⬢Most important: Enjoy the build, have fun. Cooperate with your kids, friends or partners. However, we take no responsibility for possible fights ;)
Certain parts of your printer may be more susceptible to the higher temperatures that can occur inside the enclosure during printing. We recommend upgrading these parts to more durable ones:
⬢Old MINI-minda-holder: on the first Original Prusa MINI units. Assembled from two parts. If you have this version, it is recommended to upgrade to the new one, which is available for download on Printables.
⬢Instructions for replacing the part can be found in the separate guide.
The replacement changes the height of the SuperPINDA/M.I.N.D.A. sensor! Don't forget to recalibrate the first layer after replacing these parts.
⬢New MINI-minda-holder: sturdy part, attached to the fan case. If you have this part, you do not need to upgrade it.
Print out all required parts before proceeding with the instructions.
⬢We have designed enhancements that are not shipped by default in the kit, but you can print them out and add them to the enclosure during assembly. Fasteners are already included in the kit.
Print out the parts before you start assembly.
⬢To see the full list of the parts, please visit our collection at Printables.com.
Have you purchased any add-ons along with the MINI Enclosure? Instructions for installing them are included in the manual, and you will be informed in advance for each add-on.
⬢At the beginning of the instructions for each add-on, you will be reminded of the add-on symbol.
If you don't have any add-ons, you can skip the steps related to add-ons and proceed with the other necessary instructions.
⬢So, ready? Let's move to the next chapter 2. Assembling the Enclosure.
