http://www.folgertech.com 2020 Prusa i3 | Build Guide Page: 2 / 38
We are happy to announce this as our 3rd complete 3D printer kit. The Folger Tech
2020 i3 kit combines the simplicity of an erector set with the power of a much
more expensive desktop printer. This kit includes everything you need to
assemble the 8 cubic inch print area machine (with the exception of an 8x8” glass
surface & the tools required for assembly).
Note From the Author:
This guide was made from the perspective of someone that has never built
a 3D printer. I built the printer with only the prototype as a visual reference.
Taking pictures each step of the way and making small notations I was able to
put together the following guide over the next couple weeks. Once the first draft
was completed we had one of our warehouse girls take a kit and try to assemble
it. She had zero technical experience and made notes (lots of them) on each page
as she went along. She completed her first printer and I took the notes back to
my desk to complete this guide. This is the finished product. I look forward to
your feedback and hope you enjoy building this extremely fun i3 kit!
Thanks,
Dan

We are also planning on offering 2 upgrades for this kit:
1) Extended 200x300MM bed.
2) Auto bed leveling with proximity sensor and aluminum plate.
Step 1: Un-box everything and separate like parts into areas you can grab from.
Step 2: Get out your calipers or ruler and separate screws into different
piles based on size (believe us, it makes things much easier). Step 3:
