Prusa CORE One L Large-Format 3D Printer

The Prusa CORE One L takes the enclosed CORE One platform and expands it for larger prints and more demanding production work.

Its 300 × 300 × 330 mm build volume provides roughly twice the usable print volume of the standard CORE One platform while retaining enclosed CoreXY motion.

The CORE One L also uses an actively controlled chamber capable of reaching up to 60°C, helping provide a more stable environment for larger parts and engineering materials that are susceptible to warping.

For businesses, engineering departments, schools and experienced users that regularly print larger functional parts, the CORE One L offers significantly more capacity without moving to an industrial-scale machine.

Original Prusa XL Large-Format 3D Printer

The Original Prusa XL is the largest and most versatile Prusa printer in our lineup.

With a 360 × 360 × 360 mm build volume, the XL is designed for large prototypes, production parts and multi-material applications that would be difficult to produce on a conventional desktop printer.

One of the XL's defining features is its optional toolchanger. Depending on configuration, the system can use up to five independent toolheads, allowing different colours or materials to remain loaded at the same time.

Instead of repeatedly purging filament through a single nozzle during material changes, the XL can physically change toolheads. This makes it particularly attractive for complex multi-colour and multi-material prints where reducing wasted filament is important.

Why Choose the Original Prusa XL?

• Large 360 × 360 × 360 mm build volume
• CoreXY motion system
• Available with multiple independent toolheads
• Up to five-toolhead configurations
• Efficient multi-colour and multi-material printing
• Minimal purge waste compared with single-nozzle material-changing systems
• Nextruder direct-drive toolheads
• Segmented heated bed
• Automatic first-layer calibration
• Input Shaper and Pressure Advance
• Wi-Fi connectivity and Prusa Connect
• Designed for large prototypes and professional production

Original Prusa MK4S 3D Printer

The Original Prusa MK4S continues Prusa's proven open-frame desktop printer design.

Its 250 × 210 × 220 mm build area provides useful capacity for everyday printing while keeping the machine accessible for maintenance, modification and educational use.

The MK4S uses Prusa's Nextruder direct-drive extrusion system, automatic first-layer calibration and high-flow cooling to deliver reliable printing across a wide range of common filament materials.

For users who primarily print PLA, PETG and other materials that do not require a permanently enclosed chamber, the MK4S remains a strong choice for dependable desktop 3D printing.

Why Choose the Original Prusa MK4S?

• 250 × 210 × 220 mm build volume
• Proven open-frame design
• Nextruder direct-drive extrusion
• Automatic first-layer calibration
• High-flow nozzle
• 360-degree part cooling
• Input Shaper

Prusa Nextruder Direct-Drive Extrusion

Current Prusa desktop printers use the Nextruder extrusion platform.

Its direct-drive design places the filament drive close to the hotend, helping provide controlled extrusion with standard and flexible materials. Load-cell sensing also allows the printer to measure the build surface directly during calibration, reducing the need for manual first-layer adjustment.

The Nextruder platform is used across several Prusa printer families, creating a more consistent ecosystem for nozzles, maintenance and printing workflows.

PrusaSlicer & Prusa Connect

Prusa printers integrate with PrusaSlicer, Prusa Research's desktop slicing software.

PrusaSlicer provides material profiles, print settings, support generation, multi-material preparation and advanced control for users who want to fine-tune their printing workflow.

Compatible printers can also use Prusa Connect for remote printer management, file transfer and monitoring.

This integrated hardware and software ecosystem is one of the reasons Prusa printers are widely used in education, prototyping and production environments.

Multi-Material 3D Printing with Prusa

Several Prusa printer platforms support multi-colour or multi-material printing.

The Original Prusa XL uses independent toolheads for advanced multi-material printing, while compatible Prusa desktop printers can use optional multi-material systems.

Multi-material printing can be useful for:

• Multi-colour models
• Soluble or breakaway supports
• Functional parts containing different materials
• Colour-coded engineering models
• Educational models
• Product prototypes
• Display and architectural models

The best multi-material system depends on how frequently you change materials, the number of materials required and the amount of filament waste acceptable for your application.
