The Bear upgrade for the Prusa range of printers takes an already great printer to the next level! It makes it stronger, quieter and much easier to maintain. It uses as many as the original parts from your existing Prusa printer as possible.
The Bear upgrade kit is compatible with the MK2, MK2S, MK2.5, MK2.5S, MK3, MK3S and MK3S+.
The MK2, MK2S, MK2.5, and MK2.5S will require a new longer Y-Axis Belt at 660mm. And the MK2s and MK2.5 will require a different Y Belt Adaptor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3468567
The goal of the Bear upgrade kit is to use more aluminium parts and fewer 3D Printed Parts. 3D Printed parts crack under continued stress making them less reliable.
The bear upgrade kit has become massively popular due to the great documentation, and the community which has built up around it:
- Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/PrusaBearUpgrade
- Discord server of “The 602 Wasteland” community: discordapp.com/invite/hYUjSnW
- GitHub: https://github.com/gregsaun/prusa_i3_bear_upgrade/tree/master/full_upgrade
- Thingiverse: thingiverse.com/pekcitron
At Ooznest we like to support the community, and by purchasing from us your are supporting the designer Gregoire Saunier as for every kit we sell, we pay a loyalty to him.

Very impressed, the anodised 2040 extrusions are spot on, and all fittings are bagged and clearly labelled making the build much easier.

My second LDO bear kit, first time dealing with Ooznest. Ordered on a Sunday, shipped on a Monday in my hands in Chicago, IL USA on Tuesday. I don’t get that kind of speed with places that reside in the USA. Packaging was awesome very protected, kit arrived in perfect condition and best of all shipping was reasonable for literally being delivered overnight to the USA from the UK.
