This is a pretty neat tour of Prusa’s printer factory on the Strange Parts channel

They have an absolutely massive 600 printer farm, with the same mk3 and mk4 machines that they sell to customers, which is really impressive.

They do almost everything in-house, including manufacturing the printer mainboards, for faster project planning and turnaround times.

Note - the video is pretty long at about 40 mins!

After watching I’m a little tempted to pick up some prusament filament to support the company, really like how they are supporting local talent.

    I think they are actually now doing molded parts these days. You can only scale so large with a print farm. Very impressive setup and Prusa makes great printers and the owner seems like a standup dude. I just wish they could be more competitive in this market the X1C came out and changed things. I ended up selling my MK3S for it. I will gladly jump back to a Prusa if they have a printer for my needs again as it the brand that is my number 1 pick for a lot of reasons like being OpenSource and that something I deeply value

      I think they are actually now doing molded parts these days.

      They talked about that in the video. Some parts that are common across models and are no longer under active refinement are being injection molded (in house), but given the expense of getting tooling made, they choose carefully which parts they make that way.
