PRUSA i3 Mk2 MOSFET Upgrade - NERDVille Guide

thingiverse

If you're a proud owner of the PRUSA i3 MK2, chances are you've either encountered or heard tales about those pesky connectors that tend to burn out. Perhaps you even caught an episode I shared on NERDVille, my YouTube channel, where I delved into this very issue. Well, I'm here to share my own experiences with the PRUSA i3 MK2. This has happened to me not once, but twice now! As a cautious user, I've always been mindful of using ABS or PETG, knowing that these materials require a hotter bed temperature and thus increase the risk of another connector burning out. Enough is enough! After two close calls, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I opted to install a separate MOSFET on my PRUSA i3 MK2, shifting this heavy load off the controller board and placing it in the most optimal spot possible on the MK2. To achieve this, you'll need to purchase a new MOSFET with a larger heatsink - just like the one I featured in my YouTube guide. eBay has an abundance of options available at affordable prices.
