Overall form factor was same as MK2, with an obviously sturdier Y axis and base. Extruder looked a bit bigger. I wasn&#8217;t able to appreciate the small changes like filament sensor, etc.The steel print sheet seemed like the biggest advance. It was so much better than MK2 &#8211; metal, flexible, and matte finish. The Prusa staff member showed how you can take it off and just bend it to pop off the print &#8211; no more salt water or putty knives!Overall it looked great though I did not see it in action much. I will definitely get the 2.5 upgrade kit as the new bed will be key. http:\/\/ift.tt\/2ylTut0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw the new MK3 (along with Josef Prusa!) today at Maker Faire.
