do you think it's possible to build a Prusa i3 with those (instead of using aluminium extrusions for the frame) ? (edited)
Prusa MK3 MK3S Extrusions
Hey guys,
just a quick sketch of the aluminium extrusions used on the original Prusa i3 MK3 / MK3S.

cool, I was looking for a model to try and assemble somthing out of al extrusions, is this even viable to build something usable - I'm using petG and I think I could build an actual usable assembly out of this, thanks (edited)
@robob3ar_225781 I came across some extrusions on another site, and thought, well damn, I could print the extrusions I want for the upgrade on my 3rd PRUSA(mk2s), I want to upgrade it to the same version as my other PRUSA(mk3s+!). I came looking for the lengths of the extrusions and found this post! So I'm super excited! I don't know about using PETG for these.. I am sure they would work but, I would recommend PRUSA's Polycarbonate Carbon Fiber Fill! It is super easy to print but most of all, its strong as hell! I just downloaded these files. I am going to do a very short piece of the extrusion so I can see it tonight then overnight, I will do a full length extrusion, both prints using PRUSA's PCCF filament. Oh, I also recommend this filament because of the look. It looks super professional. Like, you wouldn't be able to even tell they are 3d printed, because the quality is so high. Whereas if you print with PETG or PLA, they will be super shiny and look somewhat cheap. Like plastic. Anyways, Ill post my print tomorrow! I am so excited! After I use these for the upgrade, I plan on building a small format COREXY using these 3d printed extrusions. Oh yeah, last thing.. PRUSA's PCCF filament, has almost completely removed PETG from my list of materials to print with. PETG use to be my go to, for like everything.. But has since changed when I got my hands on the PCCF. Well, until i post the print tomorrow, TTYL!
PS: I've pre-ordered the PRUSA XL! When I get my hands on that thing, I'll be able to print even longer extrusions! AHHH!!!
