                  One of the best things about getting your very first 3D printer kit is the assembly. Building your first 3D printer may take some time, however, it's the perfect way to get to know the machine in detail. Not only that, but it's also a lot of fun to put the whole machine together.

                  The length of the assembly depends on the type of printer and generally takes several hours, complicated setups can take a day or two. However it is not a race, so take your time, follow the instructions, and enjoy the construction! 

                  Our manuals 

                  • Our manuals are written in English, Czech, Spanish, Italian, German, French, and Polish. 
                  • We try to make our manuals easy to understand so that truly everyone, from children to elderly persons can enjoy our printers. However, if you struggle with any chapter, do not hesitate to contact our customer support at any time. 

                  Common assembly errors 

                  1. Do not rush with the assembly as going fast through usually means that some mistakes are made in the process. And it's more time-consuming to fix them than doing everything properly right from the start.
                  2. Once you see anything labeled in RED, always double-check that you followed these instructions correctly. These are usually essential steps in the whole assembly. Not following them might cause future problems, delays, and in the worst-case scenario even damage to the product.

                  How hard can it be?

                  1. The complete assembly is quite straightforward if you follow the manual precisely. 
                  2. Each chapter is labeled with a level of difficulty. That should give you an idea of what you can expect.
                  3. Don't be afraid! Tens of thousands of users made it so you can make it too!

                  Community Guides 

                  The Prusa community actively creates guides and video tutorials to help others with assembly, maintenance, or upgrades. These resources offer different perspectives, alternative visual approaches, or practical tips that some users may find helpful alongside our official manuals.

                  I have the same problem "DanteRocco" has. Prusa has not fixed a problem they were told about "3 months ago"!!

                  I need the installation manual got the Prusa MK3 Hotend installation.

                  I do not know why Prusa makes finding installation, or upgrade manuals almost impossible to find. Scanning the QR code that comes with the Core One+ "DOES NOT" bring you to the correct location. So I am stuck with a box of parts that are a waste my $$$$

                  Hello,
                  thank you for your feedback.
                  The QR code included with the Prusa CORE One+ correctly leads to the product page, where you’ll find a clear overview with links to all installation and upgrade manuals.
                  If you’re having trouble locating a specific guide, please let us know and we’ll be happy to share a direct link.

                  Hello. We’re looking to make it easier for users to find the right information.

                  Could you share a bit more about what was confusing or non-intuitive when you tried to find the manual? Any specific steps or parts that were tricky would be very helpful.

                  Your feedback will help us improve the experience for everyone.

                  Thanks a lot

                  For the Core +1 The link is here:

                  https://help.prusa3d.com/manual/prusa-core-one-kit-assembly_2321

                  it is not straight forward to find.
                  "Your feedback will help us improve the experience for everyone." sounds like ChatGPT slop. Empathy, try to look for it your self, think for someone who uses the product first time etc...

                  Manual style is good though.
