Prusa i3 Rework - choice of pre-configured printer?

Hello,

Currently I use a Printrbot Simple Metal. I'll add a new printer that I built on a Prusa i3 Rework base with some modifications as adding heating bed 200x300mm and sensitive sensor (z-probe).
To install this printer with S3D v3.0, which is the best choice of pre-configured printer?
- Bq Prusa i3 Hephestos (no heated bed and bed 200x200)
- Prusa Mendel (???)
- Other

Thank you for your help.

Re: Prusa i3 Rework - choice of pre-configured printer?

For my I3v variant (MakerFarm I3V - Clough42 dual extruder/RRD hexagons, 200x200x200, heated bed) I just went in to the machine settings and made my own profile. the issue with RepRap equipment is there are just so many variations in size, thread pitch, extrusion, etc, It's not like a wanhao duplicator where they're all basically the same equipment/spec's for a given model.

Also, check the forums for mentions of your printer and see if someone else has a profile they can share that you can import and start from.
