🌟 Original Prusa XL – Large-Format FDM 3D Printer with Toolchanger
The Original Prusa XL is Prusa's large-format 3D printer, designed for true, waste-free multi-material printing thanks to its ultra-fast toolchanger system. Available with 1, 2, or 5 toolheads — and progressively upgradable — it allows combining up to 5 different materials or colors in a single print, with toolhead changes in fractions of a second and virtually zero purge. With a print volume of 360 × 360 × 360 mm, a segmented bed with 16 independent tiles, Input Shaper, Phase Stepping, and Nextruder Direct Drive, it is the fastest and most precise multi-material desktop printer on the market. Also available in a Critical Infrastructure edition without a Wi-Fi module.
🔹 What sets the Original Prusa XL apart?
- Available with 1, 2, or 5 toolheads — start with a single toolhead and progressively expand as per your needs, without replacing the printer.
- Ultra-fast toolchanger — toolhead changes in fractions of a second with filament already loaded in the nozzle, without filament change procedures or long waiting periods.
- Waste-free multi-material printing — no mandatory purge tower; with properly dried filaments and the wipe-to-infill option, it's possible to print without any filament waste.
- Spool Join — automatic spool change when one empties, allowing continuous prints of up to 10 kg with five 2 kg spools without manual intervention.
- Silicone print head support (in partnership with Filament2) — printing with two-component liquid silicone, heat-resistant, directly on the XL.
- Segmented bed with 16 individual tiles — independent temperature control per zone, without thermal deformation and with energy saving when printing small parts.
- Nextruder Direct Drive with 10:1 planetary gear — overhangs up to 75°, effortless flexible printing, 0.2 mm precision.
- Input Shaper + Pressure Advance + Phase Stepping — high speed without sacrificing quality; silent operation even at high speeds.
- Automatic leveling by Loadcell sensor — perfect first layer on any surface, reflective or textured, without manual adjustments.
- 3.5" touchscreen with 65k colors — G-code preview, Cancel Object, QR codes, and intuitive navigation.
- Power failure recovery — hardware-based, including network prints.
- Full offline mode — no account or internet connection required; removable Wi-Fi module for high-security environments.
- Open-source firmware and software — PrusaSlicer with tested profiles for over 180 filaments.
