The USB is great, even the usb slots. But I think the front power switch is a terrible idea. The Prusa mini is absolutely silent when fully cooled, so might as well leave it on.

This is the kind of project that makes Prusa easy to love, as a brand. What a journey... Congrats.

Love the design! Gives off strong Eiffel tower vibes, and seems incredibly functional at the same time. I especially like how the spool holder is beneath the printer, and can still rotate securely. Now if only I had a Mini...

I think what my Mini will have to print for itself! Spool underneath is amazing, also power and USB at front does the job 🤩

I had pre-ordered the XL when I saw this video. I immedately ordered a MINI+ just based on how awesome this looks!

It looks so nice and clean on the desk. Was sold by that filament holder design that I ordered myself a Prusa MINI+ along with all the necessary parts to making this!

This looks great! I was looking for an optimal way of storing the filament and this is it.

Love the Design aesthetically and functionality, GREAT job, it answers so many questions. I bet many people don't have a clue on how many revs this took. The redesign of the control board case is next.

My printer got started on this before the video was over! Love it!!

I love the button and usb mod that’s is the awesome. Definitely going to be printing this for my prusa mini+

Great looking and working base mod ! Thank you for sharing with us.

Awesome design! If I had a mini this would be a must have print! 👍

That is REALLY cool I need another mini for this now haha

Cooool! Just got my mini this week, but I will definitely do it soon!

OMG this is amazing, love the spool placement

I ordered a Prusa Mini+ because of stuff like this. I love it so much that people will do these projects and open source it! No pay wall, just check the description and a link to the free download is there. As a mathmetician, I can't wait to see how I can contribute!

great set up ! Genius modifications

Very cool idea. Just got my Mini about a month ago, might have to give this a try.

Just put in an Order for a Prusa Mini+ last night. I'm so excited to finally be able to start 3d printing. This looks like a great addition!

Have a happy mini currently and am ready to buy another one if this base comes as a prebuilt option. If there were an option with pre-installed octo + wifi I'd easily pay $1500 for that setup. Prusa proved their reliability and i'm ready trust them with more premium purchase.

@@benkec123 Been printing all the included gcode and yes - it’s the best I’ve seen! I just hope it’ll print other models (sliced by me) at the same quality. It’s crazy how consistent the prints are. The only thing I had issues with is silencing the extruder when retracting, but was finally able to make it silent by pushing the gears apart from each other while tightening the stepper motor and adding some thick grease (thick grease “sticks” and removes the clicking noise).

That’s a rock solid mod

Why I love this company!

THANK YOU! I have been looking for a base.

Incredible build. crazy intricate and beautiful! Though I would love to see the spool suspended or on a roller. Seems like the friction from the table would be an issue

@ard1choke

Watch at the end of the video (or look at the 3d models for the legs), the spool is suspended in a pretty clever looking slot.

Must. Print. All. The. Things! The moving of power and USB is amazing and NEEDED! Great to see the modding of the printers becoming more mainstream and accepted!

My mini is neatly placed in a corner and the spool and power cable can be a bit clunky, this upgrade is gonna look sick!

I moved the power switch on my Ender 3 V2 to the front, also. One of the best and cheapest mods.

I want this and am daunted by the amount of work involved in equal measure.

This is amazing! I want it so bad!

There goes my weekend 🤣 awesome stuff 👍

I like it!!! Good job

very nice video, after this video I'm going to start saving for this printer, it looks compact, very good and most importantly the print looks very good, just the problem is that there is no money, so I'm going to save, good video ❤

I actually used a top mount spool holder and printed the drawer for underneath the base. Lots of storage and looks cool. Minis a great printer, but not a fan of the extruder. Put on a bondtech/BMG clone and that takes this printer to new heights.

Pretty sweet bro!

Wow! Amazing mod!
