Prusa’s Referral Program Has Evolved, Now Pays Money Out Too
Prusa Research is changing up its community referral program with a new offer of cash, plus Prusameters, and spools of Prusament on the line for owners who can get friends and family to buy the company’s machines too.
Prusa has had such a scheme in place for a while now, but where the Prusa-to-Prusa (P2P) system once paid out only in Prusameters – a house currency redeemable against hardware, filament vouchers and store credit – it now hands referrers a $30 voucher for every qualifying printer sold through their distinct link.
There’s a (sensible) catch, though. Since the P2P program’s introduction, only verified owners of Prusa hardware can generate the necessary code to make the referrals. It’s a kickback for the superfans who’ll talk the ear off anything that moves of their love and respect for their machine.
There’s no cap and is stackable across orders, with the credit redeemable on products and shipping together. And for those doing the buying, they get a free spool of Prusament PETG (printer dependent) in the box as part of the deal, too. The program’s expansion rolled out earlier this month with little fanfare beyond a post on the company’s social channels.
At the time of writing this, the machine specific offer stands as follows:
The $30 alone lands somewhere between token and useful. At Prusa’s pricing, it almost covers the cost of a spool of Prusament before factoring in shipping. For someone running a makerspace or fielding questions in a 3D printing Discord, there’s a potentially lucrative deal to be had here with the voucher issuing per printer sold. Three printers bought, even if in the same order, gets you ninety bucks – enough to subsidize a specialist print bed or a couple of spools of filament.
The Prusameters still flow at the old rates, too, so the cash sits on top of the existing reward structure rather than replacing it. If you were already pointing people toward Prusa machines, this is just a better deal. Combined with the 350 Prusameters for a Core One+ for example – itself redeemable against a spool of Prusament PLA, PETG, or ASA, as well as merch or other items – it results in approximately $60 value in perks for a successful referral.
Referral buyers of Prusa’s older hardware – the Mini+ Enclosure bundle, MK4/S/+, and SL1S – miss out on extra free materials, but still earn the virtual currency for the referrer.
The program is permanent, open to anyone with a Printables account (no link limit, no expiration) and proven purchase of one of the company’s machines – using the same account in Printables as the one that made the purchase on Prusa’s webstore simplifies this, though you can contact the company’s support if your machine is second-hand or purchased via reseller. If your code converts, the voucher gets issued cumulatively at month’s end. Check out the Prusa Reward Program page for more details.
