BQ Prusa i3 Hephestos Red 3D Printer

We're proud to present the latest evolution of the Prusa i3, the most popular 3D printer in the RepRap community. Our more advanced version, Hephestos, offers significant improvements: a kit that includes all the parts you need, manuals for step-by-step assembly.

The key innovation of the Hephestos is its cable-tidy. This enables us to position the cables at the top and rear of the device, ensuring they don't interfere with the printer movements. We’ve also achieved greater protection against burns by eliminating the heated bed and adding a protector to the extruder. And because there’s no heated bed, the energy consumption of the printer barely reaches 60W

Complete kit for step-by-step assembly

The hardware of the Prusa i3 Hephestos is 100% open source, meaning you can modify it and adapt it however you like. At bq we're firmly committed to the growing RepRap community and we're keen to share all our improvements, without restricting knowledge

We’ve chosen PLA as the printing material, as it can be used in a domestic environment without having to worry about odours

Necessary tools which are not included in the Kit:
Soldering iron and tin
Metal file

Basic technical competency is recommended for set up, use and on-going maintenance of this 3D printer throughout it's lifetime

3D Printers should not be left to print unattended.
