Original Prusa XL in 2024 - Unmatched Multi-Material Printing, Extremely Fast, Little to No Waste

[@ericdaimler8342]

When is the smart enclosure coming out?

[@Prusa3D]

We're finishing our last round of testing and expect to start shipping it around the end of May/begginig of June.

[@Hangs4Fun]

@@Prusa3D When is the launch for this product? I deal mostly with Polycarbonate and some nylon, so in advance of my XL I have made an enclosure (hoping it fits properly). But I did make that only as a stop gap until the Prusa enclosure was launched. I really love my MK4 Prusa enclosure compared to the enclosures I used to build my MK3S+ farm with. They are ok (printed solid), but the MK4 enclosure is really well designed and modular. Was hoping for the same kind of results for the XL.

[@Dann.y]

Hooray! Finally we hear feedback from Prusa about the smart enclosure!

[@snajperpl1111]

​​@@Prusa3D what will be the max allowed temperature inside enclosure? Asking because I want to print with engineering materials abs,pc,pa and need at least 50-60degree or more.

[@Hangs4Fun]

@@snajperpl1111 My guess is 60*C will be max interior heat. I run heated enclosures in my MK3S+ farm, but reprinted ALL parts in PC and PC-CF. Problem once you do that isn't the parts any more, it's the micro controller, sheathing on wires, and other components you have to consider upgrading if you push it too much above 60. But just to stay in the 50-60 range, you will want to consider reprinting all of the printer parts in at the very least PETG (or an annealed PETG maybe even with CF; if you can't use PC or PC-CF). I went PC mainly because that is mostly what I print in my farm and I'm very comfy using it. And short of going to Ultem, PEI, PEEK, etc; the temp rating of an annealed PC-CF is higher than you will likely take the enclosure by a good margin

[@WyvernDotRed]

With how well my Prusa Mini has served me and how reliable the MK4s and old MK3[whatever]s at the Makerspace of my Uni are, picking up a Prusa XL is on my wishlist for when I'm in the financial position to buy one. The focus on open and locally running firmware and quality linear hardware are what makes these machines interesting to me, I can expect it to last and work whenever I need it. And some of the engineering, especially around the extruder are incredible and based on my experience of having built a DIY Hypercube a few years ago also seem sensible. Loving the sneaky comparison in colour changes, while in single material this might not be as favourable, the points above more than make up for that.

[@AptWaffleMantis2278]

I agree, my mk4 is my second printer, and has worked fantastically (yes there have been some minor issues but that just shows that no machine can be truly perfect, and those issues were only a few times and were easy to fix) I am excited to see what upgrades will come out for the mk4 but if nothing changes my next printer will be an XL

[@TonGi018]

When will the Prusa/1st party camera for Prusa Connect be available. I have seen that you have collaborated with the community on a guide for a "DIY" camera using an ESP32 but I would prefer the drop-in solution directly from Prusa.

[@BBLX1C]

Funny to see some clips from the old video in the new as well, but extremely well made Prusa! Awesome points! I like that you still have work on improving printers even years after their release. This XL video will already scare others, but the machine itself is really awesome!

[@TheDementation]

I have had a mk2S for 5 years now and I still get perfect prints. Hopefully one day get this one.

[@wiseovertime]

HONEST Review. This makes my #3rd PRUSA Printer purchase in 5 years. After waiting since Nov 21, 2021.. I finally received my August 22, 2024 full factory assembled Prusa XL 5 Tool head printer yesterday. I carefully took my time to properly follow all instructions to assemble and set up my printer to make sure the assembly was executed perfectly. All tests and All calibrations passed and were successfully completed the very 1st attempt. All showed green check marks and heated properly for all 5 heads. All filaments we’re also loaded 1st try to all 5 heads and extruded PLA in all five heads successfully the first attempt. My first test print was also perfect and flawless. I could not have been happier, and I was glad I took the extra time to make sure it was perfect. My second attempt was to print the PLA, PLA, Flex wrist CT scan model that comes on the flash drive with the printer, but my # 2 head suddenly gave an error message on the screen and the printer shut off and rebooted. The same error message appeared after booting that the thermistor or heat resistor wire has a problem and may be damaged? How, This was just a few minutes after all 5 heads had just heated and passed calibration tests and extruded PLA seamlessly. How is this possible? Nothing touched the printer. I stayed up trying to troubleshoot last night for two hours and spent another hour and a half this morning and an hour just now with support agents attempting to figure out how this went from functioning perfect and passing test to failing without the printer ever being touched, to an error? I spoke with 2 Prusa customer support agents who are unable to understand how to help me and make this right. This is very frustrating after 5 hours of careful assembly, I've lost 4-5 more hours trouble shooting the defective #2 Nextruder after it had just heated up and passed calibration. I asked PRUSA for help and support and tried to explain as friendly as possible that I can't waste any more time on this. I sent pictures and asked to please help me and make this right so I don't lose any more of my time on my brand new $5000 printer. Prusa's solution WAS NOT to overnight me 1 fully assembled Nextruder Replacement with a little store credit or to include a couple extra boxes of filament for the troubles I've had and loss of time on a brand new factory assembled unit, but instead they asked me to carry the burden and do all the work to spend another 2-3 hours 60 steps, disassembling the defective Nextruder, along with another perfectly working Nextruder and swap parts and reassemble to narrow down which part component is defective. And if that does not work, they want me to move on the dissembling both Nextruders again and swapping the next parts to check which adds another 2-3 hours. Keep in mind, I paid $500 extra for FULL factory assembled unit so I did not have to deal with issues or worry about each individual part or waste time making it look as clean as they can from the factory. I don't want to have the burden of not routing all wires and tucking lines back as perfect as they did because I am not as good as they are. Plus I'd have to recalibrate everything again afterwards. I'm a loyal Prusa customer for over 5 years, buy their Prusament filamnet regularly and have convinced my friends and others to purchase Prusa. Is their support satisfactory ? I feel this is not right and unacceptable. Am I off here to expect Prusa to replace the defective Nextruder with a new fully assembled unit like I originally paid for? It's business. I have to support my customers this way in my business, or I'll lose customers to my competitors who also offer this type of support. I'll remove this review once PRUSA steps up to the plate and takes ownership to make this right. Does this seem fair to deal with on a brand-new factory assembled unit or should PRUSA do the right thing here?

[@antoniocross5956]

Are you going to upgrade the mini with a load cell as well? That would be crazy awesome!

[@Founders4]

A load cell would not yield reliable results with a cantilevered X axis. The Mini is plenty stable with 10mm linear rods on Z, but load cells rely on completely rigid frames. An inductive probe, while not perfect, will still yield a more accurate bed mesh as no actual contact is made between the nozzle and the bed during calibration.

[@fofopads4450]

The MINI is awesome as it is. Never had a single leveling issue in 4 years, except when I forgot to swap the sheets on the menu. Besides, a load cell will raise the price and add another firmware branch to maintain. Perhaps as parts gets cheaper, a MINI with loadcell, accelerometer, MMU and xbuddy board would be awesome

[@zhelyoangelinov8330]

Really nice but the price of 4200euro for 5 extruders and no enclosure,compares to other brands with also amazing printers is sky high. And I got so much trouble with my mk3s’s.

[@VictoryHub]

If only I could afford this beast!

[@linkdelodela]

if we could mount different nozzles diameters on several tool head for more or less precision, i'd get one.

[@Mrfoobaer]

That's possible, but you need to somehow tell the slicer which parts should print with which tool

[@REDxFROG]

​@@Mrfoobaerno, the slicer first needs to be able to^^

[@perchte]

@@Mrfoobaer It already is in a limited form. (They have made the first steps for it). Got to your extruder settings in the profile and select different extruders for perimeters/infill/massive infill and select different extrusion widths afterwards. They need to add heuristics for automatizing this but it already is useable for many applications.

[@TheMikolasZuza]

It sounds cool in theory, but we are honestly debating if this is really useful in practice. As mentioned in the comments, you can already sort of do this in PrusaSlicer. More research to be done for sure.

[@perchte]

@@TheMikolasZuza The first step to implement would be to be able to select one extruder/extrusion width for the outer most N number of perimeters and another one for the rest (like outer perimeters but for N). I know that this would change all sorts of things in arachne, but with that implemented having finer contours on a large objects could lead to dastically improved print times while retaining crisp detail. In addition please extend the extruder selection to select a special extruder for overhangs/bridging, having it hardwired to massive infill is not necessary, but should be a default.

[@ZT_1234]

Wow, this printer used to be a bit iffy before, but prusa has really stepped up their game. I love prusa. And all their products, but this printer is going to revolutionize the toolchanger style printer, I also like bambu, but the ams is extremely wasteful. And time consuming. This seems like an amazing product now that its had time for troubleshooting, and development since its early release

Hey Prusa! Your customer support is a joke. Completely unacceptable that an agent takes 3-4 weeks to get back to you while diagnosing an issue, only to ask you to print a small test-print or try some calibration step you've already done multiple times, then take another 3-4 weeks to respond. I have been emailing back-and-forth for about 6 months now with an agent who has consistently taken 3+ weeks to respond (to which I'm pretty sure he would NEVER respond if I didn't send multiple follow-up emails). Still no resolution for an obvious hardware issue I've had since day 1 on my XL. So much for the amazing customer support you advertise!

[@jrdelrey]

Is the enclosure available to purchase? I cannot find it.

[@TrueTelum]

is it somehow possible to update from 2 extruder to 3 ?

[@Prusa3D]

We offer 1, 2 and 5 toolhead configurations. The reason why we go from 2 directly to 5 is that for more than 2 toolheads, you need an additional PSU and an additional electronics. We designed the XL so that the 2 tool version doesn't need those. As a result, there is a non-linear price jump between 2 and 3 tools, with smaller jumps to 4 and 5, hence why we decided to select these 3 main configurations.

[@JorgeMendoza-415]

Is there lights inside to see the print better? Also filament dryers would be nice to have too so i can leave the filament on the printer for longer without worrying about the lifespan of the filament. Nice that theres an enclosure but i'd wish it'd be transparent so it doesnt obstruct the view. is there a thermistor to view the temperature in the enclosure? Could be handy for printing with high temp materials. Most of all, can you make it cheaper?! Like atleast 1k less Wish i could afford one :c

[@TheMikolasZuza]

There are lights! :) They can automatically dim when not interacting with the printer. The XL starts at $1999, you can upgrade it later on with more toolheads.

[@brezovprut4431]

Finally enclosure, but its shame that its "optional" in 2024, when its new standard, especially for such build volume printer. PS. Wondering if it was possible to reduce footprint above tooheads by tilting PTFE tubes 90degree parallel to the build plate (like bambu did with X and P series)

[@fofopads4450]

For people doing exclusively multicolor prints, an enclosure is definitely optional. Is nice to have the option

Machine itself looks great. But the slicing software is dragging behind a bit. No mixed nozzle sizes...and the firmware seems to be a bit behind as well. Also no camera for print monitoring at the price its at seems a bit odd. Its for sure an impressive machine but I wonder what bambu is going to come out with this year.

[@fofopads4450]

I read somewhere that multi size nozzle printing requires a deep change in the Slic3r core slicing algorithm, but I am sure they'll crack it eventually.

[@jme2006]

when are you adding free IMU upgrades to the toolhead and bed for the MK4 and XL? You can't have input shaping without the ability to profile every individual setup because they are all different. I very much did not like that IS was pushed through a firmware update calibrated against a stock machine that doesn't capture the exact vibrational profile of each setup.

[@LilApe]

@@benjaminvdvyt Priced the way it is becasue of the cost of the components and EU labor. Prusa doesn't use cheap components sourced from a back alley factory in shenzhen china like creality and bambu lab do. Prusa isn't in the race-to-the-bottom manufacturing like bambu lab.

[@benjaminvdvyt]

@LilApe oh please... Prusa absolutely uses Chinese made parts, they buy them from companies outside of China, but those companies still uses China to manufacture them. Don't kid yourself, those printers are mostly made by Chinese people. Cheap components? Define cheap. Printfarms prefer Bambu printers over Prusa. Not only more reliable, but also cheaper to get replacement parts for. Simple fact is, is that Prusa is no longer the champion. They always got beat in the affordable category, but no consumer grade printer could get close to their quality. Bambu beat them at their game, by creating a cheaper and better printer. This printer is top notch, but the price is insane, and thus will still be beat by Bambu.

[@LilApe]

@@benjaminvdvyt lol I never said prusa didn't use chinese parts. But they use *WAY* less than any other 3d printer manufacture. Look at their MK3. Only 33% of the components in the MK3 are made in china. The other 67% were source from other countries like USA and EU. Im not about to walk you though the parts list of a prusa and where they get their components. Do that yourself. It's all public information. Everyone knows bambu printers are built using lower quality components that are prone to failure. This is common knowledge and well known. They entire reason why the prusa XL was delayed up to like a year was becasue prusa was getting a reliable vender for high quality rails/bearing in place. Meanwhile bambu lab uses the cheapest CF rods that need cleaning every 10hrs or else they get gummed up and cause errors. Bambu lab is getting their ass beat by even creality and qidi tech right now. Bambu lab has lowered the price of their printers like 3 times now in just the last year because they're losing out to the competition. Meanwhile prusa sticks to their price and still sells out printers and sells more today than they did before bambu lab was even a name.

[@willierants5880]

Two huge reasons I can't get this printer. A. The cost, it's way too expensive in a market filled with options. B. The size this thing is XXL. You need a dedicated bench for this monster. The MK4 needs to get scrapped and the MK4.1 or whatever needs to be blended with the XL to make it more competitive with the X1 and others. The MK4 is sadly way behind the curve today. If the MK4 was more like the XL just smaller I would've bought it already.

[@MrHeHim]

Honestly, I wasn't every really impressed by Prusa machines as I've always built my own or heavily modified ones that i thought already had a good base to build off of.. But the recent changes and improvements to the Original XL are impressive, even compared to custom and highly tuned machines. Only wish is a system that swaps out nozzles instead of the whole tool head, just feels like like if it was a car it would be like giving each gear it's own single speed transmission housing. Still IMO far better than other multi-material printers and if i had the spare cash i wouldn't be typing this right now and just enjoying the machine lol

It looks technological. Is a model with a closed case planned?

[@sebastianlauwers]

Literally the last feature they show

[@ValkyrieForge1986]

love the machine and still hight on my wish list but the price i just can justify to buy becus i can get 4x p1s with 4x multi material tool for that same price thats more volume that can be put out plus the maintinace is more expensive on the xl. so still hope that that price is going to drop one day for a 5 head system full assamble becus i would love to own one.

[@TheLMFAOZ]

So PRUSA and Voron had a baby?

[@ZT_1234]

I might get one of these with the prize money I got from a rocketry competition.

[@HappywheelsPlayer360]

When will we get the real Inputshaping with measured resonances via accelerometer sensor? Not the predefined values.

[@iopfarmer]

XL has accelerometers inside the heads

[@Prusa3D]

As mentioned by @iopfarmer, the XL has an accelerometer in each toolhead that's used for input shaping calibration.

[@paulhuckaby]

I know some prusa fanboy will try and defend it, but for the price that little screen with the 3d printed scroll knob where you have to scroll through menu items looks like someone trying to text on an old flip phone

[@Prusa3D]

We sometimes hear this feedback, but our users vote overwhelmingly in favor of the physical knob. You can use the touchscreen, but the physical knob is often a faster way to navigate the menus. It also enables visually impaired to use our printers more easily, which is quite important for us.

[@paulhuckaby]

@@Prusa3D what about the little screen part? If enabling your visually impaired customers is important to you, then I think we can all agree a bigger screen would be a great way to do that - probably much more then a knob.

[@Prusa3D]

Hi Paul. Thanks for your suggestion. I have shared it internally, and we will consider it.

[@K8-dn6mx]

Or is it a small?

[@guilherme.marinho]

Should be possible to buy this printer in Brazil.

Hi Guilhermer. We sell and deliver to Brazil directly from our e-shop. You can check the price and conditions simulating the order in the e-shop. www.prusa3d.com/en/product/original-prusa-xl-assembled-single-toolhead-3d-printer/

I am so disappointed these are SO expensive. I ended up buying 3 bambu ps1's last month to get me through the next 6 months. Hopefully the price comes down to a bit more of a realistic price range. However, I do understand how advanced the new features and tech are, including the exceptional build quality is. Definitely buying one,. But it's just not in my budget now.

[@K8-dn6mx]

So it’s a different 3-D printer

[@suntoxx9667]

Imagine you canceled your XL order to get a Bambu and are now stuck with a Bambu. So glad i waited it out. The XL is just amazing!

[@thegrafxguy1]

not even close to the same ballpark. you could get 4 Bambu P1S combos for this price, or 3 X1C Combos on sale. awesome yes, but not comparable at all.

[@JS-xm6pf]

No need to imagine, that’s exactly what I did and I am very happy with my decision. Less waste? Well, yes, if the print comes out ok i.e.

[@LilApe]

@@thegrafxguy1 And all 4 of those bambu's will still be a lesser quality product than one XL. P1S is another cookie cutter coreXY while the XL is revolutionary.

@@peterpucik1380 It has the least 3D printed parts of any Prusa machine and you are working under the dumb assumption that printed parts = bad. It doesn't. This argument is idiotic, probably because of that, we see it parroted out by people that don't seem to know much.

I'm not entirely convinced that omitting "Outstanding Price" from the list of features is altogether fair LOL HArd to justify $4k against a $500 Bambu A1 or Kobra 3 and before you say this is "different"... Is it?

A printer of this type should come with an enclosure by default.

[@RuskiVodkaaaa]

great printer, too bad it's 4000 dollars and I can get a P1S for 600 dollars that achieves 95% of what the Prusa XL does

[@AndreasMeyer-lj9ht]

I must admit I have seen all the videos of the Prusa XL and this just hits the same points. No I am not complaining and am seriously thinking of buying one. However this 3d printer is still like a race car using a fifty year old control system. Things that Prusa really needs to add. 1. an enclosure so that this incredible machine can reach it's full potential. (yes I know one has been in the works but so far nothing on the web site) The enclosure should come standard with the machine. 2. the ability for each printing head to use a different sized nozzle. Yes I mean one .2 head for fine details two .4 for general items one .6 for support one .8 for faster layers. This should also be for stainless steel nozzles and regular nozzles and possibly future types of nozzles. What about carbide. 3 allow this printer to use a version of the mmu3 allowing even more filament choices. Maybe come up with a version that's smaller so it's more compact. This printer already takes up a large space. 4 allow for higher temperatures. Think about using copper filament to print actual circuits as part of the printing process. (yes I know you can already get copper filament)Think of that part that you make thousands of but can't tell if it's starting to fail. A little copper in the print along with an external testing device and suddenly you can tell when the part will fail. Just to be clear I don't ever expect a 3D printer to print micro chips. That's in a whole different realm. A simple copper circuit could mean you can add a light to your printed model. Maybe the next go to robot starts out as a 3D printed model with simple circuitry. 5 standard interior light 6 vent system for those smelly and harmful vapours (ABS anybody) 7 camera as standard This printer has so much potential it's scary. The only problem is will Prusa step up and give it the tools it needs to really shine. If and that's a big If that happens then it will be up to the rest of us to use our minds and come up with ways to use this 3D Printer.

Can these tools print at the same time to shorten time to completion of large prints even more?

This printer is a beast... but seriously why do we still have that stupid fuckin dial and not just a touch screen like everything else 😅

[@Prusa3D]

It is a touchscreen. :) You can use whichever you prefer, the knob, or the touchscreen. But mostly people say they prefer the knob, as it's much faster way to navigate the menus. -Mikolas

[@Prusa3D]

Hi Kieran. The Prusa XL, and the Prusa MK4, have a touch screen 🙂

[@syko2695]

Wow I got 2 replies, slow day in the office lads? 😅😅 Fair play but surely the only reason people would prefer the dial is if the screen is too small to accommodate what's being displayed on it effectively so they're forever scrolling through it all?
