I did the stand as well. You might find the extrusion covers helpful as well. The one thing I didn't like was that the old PSU holder was too big to print on the Mini. However, there was a remix of the PSU holder that does fit and I used that one instead. I also found that the zig-zag was too shallow for the larger cables. If you have a filament runout sensor, the screws will go through the zig-zag and cut into the wires. I just left my sensor as built.

Mounting the power supply to the printer means you will most likely have to run an extension strip to be able to plug it in, I considered having a power brick to be an advantage over a fixed power supply, and the whole point of getting a small form factor printer was a small size, it's like mounting a raspberry pi in a full-size tower case!

Hi, I can see one possible Problem with the Cable you are using. At (12:14) you can see that you are using 16 AWG CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) Cable. It is more comparable to an 18 AWG Copper Cable. I'm unable to see the diameter of the wire you are replacing which means it could be perfectly fine. If the wire you are replacing is effectively to small for the current, it can overheat and burn. It is best to replace Cable or Wire for power transmission uses with the same or higher effective diameter Cable or Wire. CCA can be a bit of a trap.

This video will help for anyone doing the upgrade understand it a little better. But man, those color choices? Most of the upgrades out there with different colors than the orange and black do a full reprint of all the plastic parts on the mini so the upgraded parts match. I chose orange and black for my upgrade because I didn’t have the time or patience do disassemble and reassemble my entire printer to make it look neater than the original upgrade. This blue and vanilla bean is a terrible mismatch to the black and orange and makes me think this guy might be colorblind? Also, if you don’t want to wait on Amazon, I was able to pick up the spade connectors and wiring at my local auto parts store.

@_Manuwar_ Hello, hopefully you have fixed this by now but I had the same issue yesterday (a friend gave me their old mini). My issue was the firmware. The slicer will export a binary code file for the prusa mini but that only appears if you have updated the firmware past 5.1 (I think). You can either update the firmware or turn off bgcode in the settings.

Looks great Joel! I've done the same upgrade and I really enjoy how compact it looks. Have you tried printing with the spool under the bed yet? I'm interested in your thoughts on how well the spool rotates as it's printing. Move has the sensor so it has a small section of PTFE tubing after it. The tubing gets wrapped up into the spool of filament as it's trying to pull the spool to unload filament for printing. I'm playing with it too see if I can make that process smoother. What's your experience? Great video and as always with Joel excitement while doing it.
