๐จ๐ฟ Tonight is a movie night! PRUSA movie night ๐ฅ Of course, I am kidding, but just a little bit. A YEAR! ago, we wanted a quick updated tour, but with all the efforts to keep it short, we ended up at 28m08s ๐ So let's take a look behind the curtain ๐ญ
In just 3 days we started mass 3D printing of medical shields and we are donating 10k to our state. We are still tweaking and verifying the design on the fly with pros. Thatโs a must, false sense of security is dangerous. 3DP respirator info incl.

Couple weeks ago we build our own in-house Covid19 rapid testing and hired a nurse ๐ฉโโ๏ธ Gov is slow and no widespread testing is available ๐ But thanks to our tracing, thousands of PCR tests and sensible measures we had 0 transmissions at work at 600 ppl ๐ช Proud of my team โค๏ธ
4700 pcs of face shields delivered to the doctors for free in less than 3 days. More updated versions are coming including taller visor sheets (harder to make at home) We are also working on goggles with inderect ventilation. Stay safe ๐ช!

We brought our electronics assembly in house to have absolute quality control ๐ฌ Hereโs a little peek at todays Original Prusa XL boards run ๐โโ๏ธ Incredible to be able just walk over to the manufacturing and inspect ๐
What a change in 3D printing scenery over the last year ๐ Shills shouting "Catch the shill!" โค๏ธโ๐ฅ Reminds me of politics around the globe recently ... Who misses the times when we all just printed cool sh*t and helped each other fixt the printers? ๐โโ๏ธ
Our 3D printing network is now producing plastic shields to provide a barrier to peopleโs faces. Weโll be providing sets to important organisations like ambulance services or the police for free.

PSA I would like to apologize for the confusion over the last two days. I am not at HQ this week, and I am barely online, which makes coordination with my team difficult. The MK4 listing in the e-shop had accidentally shown a 1kg spool of filament being bundled with the kit,โฆ

When you are caught stealing open source and after months, you do the bare minimum expecting to have applause ๐ Also squashed repos with no contributor history ... This is one of the reasons we took the time to credit everyone directly in the source files ๐โฆ

Some are questioning X axis stability of the new Original Prusa MINI, letโs end it now. It is supported by two 10mm rods and alu extrusion. I dug up a video of my first print on first prototype where I was testing the limits. Pardon the first few layers, MBL wasnโt working yet.

We just took delivery from ASM, these are the last components for our SMT assembly line ๐ฅณ But with the state of the parts market, we should have started with a chip foundry instead ๐
So we passed a great milestone ๐ฅณ 100k face shields printed and donated around Czechia ๐ฅณ It is still not time to rest and we will continue until there is still demand ๐ช You can take a look at the happy doctors here (CZ)
Few updates: 40k shields ๐ก donated to 820 places around Czechia ๐ช Shifting a significant portion now to nursing homes as it is ticking time bomb. Consider donating shields there too please, seniors are the most vulnerable! 1/4
