About This Printer

Mid-Range · $350–$450

The MINI+ is Prusa's compact cantilever-arm printer — smaller, lighter, and more affordable than the MK series, but with the same commitment to open-source design and print quality. It uses a PTFE-lined hotend (upgradeable to Nextruder) and has a 180×180×180mm build volume that's perfect for desk space-constrained setups. Reliability and ease of use are its strongest suits.

What it does well

  • Compact footprint — great for small desks or rooms
  • Reliable Prusa quality at a more accessible price
  • Open-source with excellent Prusa documentation and support
  • Easy to calibrate and use
  • Quiet operation with Einsy RAMBo board

Limitations to know

  • Small 180×180×180mm build volume
  • PTFE hotend limits high-temp filaments (upgradeable but adds cost)
  • Cantilever arm can cause slight flex on very large prints
  • Slower than CoreXY machines
