Prusa MK3S+

Members must complete the Intro to Filament 3D Printing Class before using this tool

Asmbly has three Prusa i3 MK3S+ 3D Printers. As of now, these are the recommended 3D printers for new users and will be covered in the Intro to 3D Printing class. These printers live to the left in the printing enclosure. The one on the left is named Apollo, and the middle is named Hermes, and the rightmost is Sunwukong.

The printers are controllable over Octoprint, which you can use the web browser or an app to connect to while on the ASMBLY network. You cannot access these machines from home. Tasks such as preheating and filament changes can be done via the built-in panel on the front bottom of the printer. The Octoprint configuration is the standard OctoPi installation, consisting of the Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 being attached to the back of the printer frame, connected via USB to the printer and via Ethernet to the ASMBLY network (WiFi connection from the Pi to the network is currently unstable), with the OctoPi 1.0.0 (build 2023.10.09.151442) stable image installed on the Pi. In an attempt to keep the printers as easily serviced and maintained, we are trying to keep the installation as standard as possible. More documentation about OctoPi can be found here.
