I have develop this kit for upgrade the Prusa I3 MK3.
(You could find mounting instruction in the attached pictures)
This kit include : - Magnetic head (direct drive and laser)
- Z axis cable management
- Leds holder
- rotation indicator
The parts must be printed in PETG for follow the original design. All of this parts have not been tested yet because I have not 3d printer at my disposal for the moment.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy!!
---------------------------Magnetic head-------------------------
The major upgrade is the magnetic swappabe head. You can easily remove the direct drive Prusa Head and replace it by a laser head (Include in the kit) or a double extrusion head (In devellopment).
For this you need to print :
1x Extruder body - Magnetic version
1x Extruder cover - Magnetic version
1x Xcarriage - Magnetic version
1x Xcarriage-back - Magnetic version
For build the laser head you need to print:
1x laser head - Magnetic version
If you want to devellop a new head you could find a file named "Development head". Is one can be modified for build the head you would.
And you need to buy :
1x DB 15 connector (male and female) :
(4x by head) Countersunk magnet Ø10x2 hole3mm :
(4x by head) countersunk washer (A by more difficult to find, here on a french website) :

1x laser 3.5W
Some screw and nuts:
-8x M3x15 contersunk screws
-4x M3x8 contersunk screws
-8x M3x10 srews
-12x M3 nuts
---------------------Z axis cable management------------------
If you would to obtain a more clean cable management on the Z axis, this upgrade allow you to use a printed cable chain for doing it.
For this you need to print:
-30x cable chain
-1x cable conduit
-1x Z chain bracket - Motor
-1x Z chain bracket - Top left
----------------------------LED holder---------------------------If you want to light your printer for see what you print or just for custom it, this upgrade is made for you
For the led support you need to print :
2x LED holders
And you need to buy:
1x LED strip (You can choose the color or buy and RGB strip)
1x aluminium LED bar (for support the LED strip, V style of 30 cm)
-------------------------Rotation indicator-----------------------
The last upgrade is a small one but not usless. Thanks to this small part it becomes easy to visualize the direction of rotation.
You have to print the "rotation indicator - Extruder motor" part, and to put an Ø8x3 magnet in it.
---------------------Customisation------------------
You could find in the parts files an STEP file. This one can be modified by everyone for build your own magnetic head (For multi-extrusion as exemple)
