About the Models
The HICTOP Prusa i3 is a Prusa i3 variant by HIC Technology, a Chinese 3D printer fabrication company. There are two variants from HICTOP, the Acrylic High Accuracy Aurora and the Aluminum Frame, with the only difference being the frame material and a slightly taller printing area for the former. They both come in fully assembled and encased or complete DIY kits. The acrylic version will be used for reference and specifications.

Known Issues
HICTOP ships some of the printers with incorrect firmware. The below firmware marks the z-step for 394 steps/mm when it should be 2560 steps/mm. The downloads section has the fixed aftermarket firmware.
IF YOUR PRINTER WORKS FINE DO NOT INSTALL THIS FIRMWARE. IT IS ONLY AN ISSUE ON SOME.
