Initial Research Pathway of Prusa MK4 3D Printer

 Timothy watched the Instagram videos from “Unnecessary Inventions” and developed an interest in 3D printing. Timothy finds out Ethan has a business selling 3D printer filaments. Hidayat discovered 3D printing during his time in polytechnic as one of his modules and developed an interest in additive manufacturing. The 3 guys banded together with the common interest in 3D printing. Ethan’s client happens to use a Prusa MK4. The team decided to do research on the Prusa MK4. Ethan used ChatGPT with the prompt: "list all the features & functions of the prusa mk4, give sources". ChatGPT linked to a few sites on the Prusa MK4. The team watched YouTube videos about the Prusa MK4.  The team wrote down the various features and function from the YouTube videos and Prusa's official site in the Googles Docs. The team discussed the pros and cons of the product.
