Prusa i3 Bear Upgrade 2.1

Bear 2.1 upgrade parts for Full Bear 2.0 MK2(S)/MK2.5(S) frame

Introduction

These parts allow you to upgrade your Full Bear 2.0 MK2(S)/MK2.5(S) frame to similar parts than Bear 2.1. The new Bear 2.1 frame is based on the Full Bear 2.0 MK3 frame and is longer and taller than Full Bear 2.0 MK2(S)/MK2.5(S) frame.

These parts are not compatible with Bear 2.1 frame for MK2(S)/MK2.5(S) original Prusa printers.

Which frame do I have?

Measure the length of your Y axis extrusion as seen on the picture below.

  • If the length is 311 mm long (±1mm) then you need the parts from the current page. Check Printed Parts section below.
  • If the length is 331 mm long (±1mm) then you can use the standard Bear 2.1 parts here.
