Prusa is now manufacturing 3D printers in USA

Prusa Research has expanded its operations to the USA by partnering with Printed Solid to manufacture 3D printers and filaments. The collaboration aims to enhance the availability of Original Prusa printers and filaments in the US market. The facility in Newark, Delaware, has been upgraded to accommodate new manufacturing lines and workstations for the assembly of Original Prusa MK4 printers. The companies plan to become the largest manufacturer of 3D printers and filaments in the USA within a year. The expansion includes assembling printers with the same quality standards as in Prague, incorporating local American component suppliers, and offering repair services for Prusa 3D printers in the United States. The partnership leverages Printed Solid's expertise in filament production to ensure the same level of quality as in Prague. The approach focuses on steady growth, maintaining high-quality standards, and providing excellent customer support. Josef Průša expresses excitement about the collaboration and the opportunities it brings for the future of 3D printing in the USA.

We are a small automation startup in Europe. Our usual workflows include manufacturing a custom brackets, cases, etc. for out custom control equipment. We previously outsource everything to local shops, and recently switched to owning our own printing cluster. Started with 5 prusas and had to fix and repair things always. PLA dont stick to the bed at all. Switched to bambu recently and printing with ABS now with zero concerns. Printed >500 enclosures on 3x bambu X1s, much faster and better quality than 5x prusas. My personal recommendation for anyone who wants to print a lot with minimal maintenance. Bambu is slightly more expensive but ROI is very short compared to prusa in the short term

Hopefully this will make prusament way cheaper. I've since switched to SUNLU filament for my staple materials but I always try to grab a roll or two of prusament when I need parts for my prusa. It's just a step above everything else.

i'm glad Printed Solid was the choice.

they're a great company and as a 3dp enthusiast they have been supporting my hobby for years; plus after having dealt with lots of different groups in that same arena I can say that they are noticeably more professional in their mannerisms when communicating with their customers than their peers.
