I don’t feel so good, Mr. Stark...

Things wrong with my Prusa Mini within first week:

I didn’t get the M3 nuts for my spool roller.
My PINDA line is being replaced by support because it shorts out every time it goes to more than 3/4 towards the left side.
I think all early owners have the Chris Warkocki issue with the 40mm screw as shown at 1hour 25 minutes into his video above.
My UI thumb screw has seized. I think the whole LCD panel will have to be replaced
My extruder doesn’t like sunrise sparkle PLA and it broke going to the hot end
I broke the box housing the electronics because the wiring for the Z axis got wrapped around the extruder and the manual has you turn it away from you while installing it and doesn't warn you this can happen. When you lift the Z it cracks the tabs out of the box.

So, when it's working it's fantastic. But there is a LOT wrong with it meantime and I'm dead in the water until PRUSA sends me 2 parts minimum.

Not to derail, but every time I pass this thread, I think I'm going to be seeing 3D printed fans. The kind that move air.

Two parts overnighted from the Czech Republic and I’m back in business.
