I am slowly getting my new Prusa XL assembled, but on the plus side it finally arrived! Hopefully I can start calibrating this weekend.

 

Assembly Pics (and my thoughts) Thus Far

Nice heavy duty packaging, and the bottom box was a whopping 70 lbs (31.75 kg)!

Inside boxes unpacked, with a rather large bag of assembly gummy bears ready to go. Back two large boxes (and the one on top) are the printer and components, front five are the five extruder units.

Assembly part 1 complete, Z axis motors and frame uprights installed.

Screen installed and wires routed underneath. I was really impressed with the routing method! Routing wires through the extrusion profile is nothing new, but the snap in covers to guide the Z-axis stepper motors and the corner cover for the screen wires were a nice touch, along with the extrusion covers that keep all the wiring in place.

Where things are at as of last night, got the X/Y axes frame mounted, and the Z axis linear rails have their top screws secured into the frame arms as well.

 

 

Oh cool. 😃😈👍🏿💪🏿🥰🐲🐉
