So this week I bought 3 3D printers on Facebook Marketplace.
I got the following for $500 total

Prusa Mini - Looks worn down, but the only one without any real issues associated with it.
Prusa Mini+ - Very lightly used, and that's because the people who built it didn't set up the X axis belt tension correct and it was super floppy, Also had to buy a new anti vibration pad as the previous one was missing.

Prusa MK3, The cheapest but the most issues. The height sensor lower then the extruder nozzle, Lubrication, fresh tape alon the Heat bed to keep it warm.
Lastly, there was something blocking the Z axis from going all the way up and down (I fixed the PINDA sensor and then retested and this magically fixed itself. . . Could have been I was an idiot and something was physically blocking Z-Axis.


Overall, 3D printing just became a lot more fun, as now I got 4 projects cooking at once instead of just 1 printer.

Any recommendations on stuff to print, ways to reduce vibration, or best CAD software to design stuff in. . . Please let me know!


Currently printing all the pieces for the following.

This, but 4th of July themed with Flags/Fireworks! (Change in colors too)

Upgrade for the Mini to be more space saving! 🙂
