Original Prusa XL assembled

Original Prusa XL 2024

Every Original Prusa 3D printer receives long-term support for years after launch. Not just small bugfixes, but major firmware and hardware upgrades that bring useful new features.

The XL has already received a number of major upgrades for free:

• Input Shaper and Pressure Advance for super-fast printing
• Phase Stepping makes the printer beautifully quiet
• Fast network printing with Prusa Connect
• Stealth Mode
• Stuck filament detection
• Cancel Object in the printer’s menu
• Enabled touch support
• …and many other smaller tweaks and improvements across the board

Zero-Waste Printing

Getting a 3D printer is just the beginning: you will need more and more filaments and the XL is here to keep the running costs down by eliminating excessive waste! Every single-extruder printer on the market needs to purge the leftover filament from the nozzle during every color/material change. With many printers on the market, the filament waste can often be up to four times greater than the weight of the printed object itself.

The XL was designed for efficient multi-material printing with zero-to-no waste and super-fast operation. A tiny priming tower for nozzle pressure stabilization is usually present, but with properly dried filaments and wipe-to-infill options, the XL can print completely without waste! No wipe towers, no flushed filament around the printer!

Combine Materials

With the individual toolheads, you can easily load various materials and combine them easily during a single print. You can combine Flex with PETG and use PLA for easily-removable supports. If your project requires advanced and expensive materials, such as PCCF, you can use a cheaper material to print supports, reducing total costs.

Fastest Multi-Material Printer

When you want to print with multiple colors or materials, the Original Prusa XL with its lighting-fast toolchanger, Input Shaper, and Pressure Advance technologies, delivers results faster than any competition on the market and with the same premium quality as the award-winning MK4.

XL Toolchanger

The toolchanger is the cornerstone of the Original Prusa XL. Keep up to five materials loaded at all times and print multi-material objects faster than ever before. With filaments loaded into the nozzle, there are no lengthy filament change procedures. The toolchanger swaps individual heads in an instant and thanks to its streamlined mechanical design offers unparalleled reliability. You can load up to five 2kg spools on the XL and print a 10kg object without touching the printer.

The XL is equipped with a modular segmented heatbed driven by a separate electronic board to push the print quality and reliability further. The heatbed consists of 16 individually controlled tiles designed to prevent heat deformation which is usually present in printers with a single large heatbed. You can always find the perfect print surface for your material with our proven double-sided print sheets with various surface textures. It can also switch off unused tiles to save energy.

100% Privacy

We do not collect information about your prints or your printer’s surroundings. We believe that no matter whether you’re developing a new-generation space shuttle, or just printing silly things for your friends, no organization should be interested in this information. This is why our printers can be found in top companies, universities and research institutions around the world.

Our printers are primarily designed for completely offline operation with no drawbacks or limitations. You have the option to share data with our tech support and connect your printer to the Prusa Connect remote print management system, but only if you choose to do so.

Our code is open source, so you can always check that we aren’t cheating or stealing your files, even when you’re connected to the internet.
