A keen nozzle-head has dramatically sped up their 3D printer<\/a> using the portable power of a Nintendo Switch<\/a>. Cocoanix 3D Printing shared a video earlier this week demonstrating the Switch-powered acceleration of their venerable Prusa MK3S. Instead of taking 90 minutes to output the famous standard 3DBenchy tugboat model, the Nvidia-accelerated MK3S took a brisk sub-nine minutes. Should you repurpose your Switch to accelerate your 3D printer? That, of course, depends\u2026<\/p>\n

In the video above, Cocoanix boasts about not just the increased performance but quality improvements. Using Klipper instead of Prusa\u2019s custom firmware (originally based on Marlin years ago) delivers modern features like more extensive planning, advanced vibration compensation, and other techniques. As well as getting your output in a fraction of the time, \u201cless ringing and ghosting\u201d will be present in the output, according to Cocoanix.<\/p>\n
