Prusa Research ORIGINAL XL+

The Original Prusa XL+ is a large-format FDM 3D printer with CoreXY kinematics and a 360 x 360 x 360 mm build volume. Its defining feature is the multi-toolhead tool changer system, offered in 1, 2 and 5 toolhead configurations: each toolhead is fully independent, with its own hotend, Nextruder Direct Drive extruder, heater and sensors, and is docked and undocked automatically during printing.

Since there is no shared melt zone, cross-material contamination and the purge waste typical of multi-color and multi-material printing are eliminated, with the ability to combine model material and soluble support. The bed is a segmented heatbed with removable PEI spring steel sheets that heats only the area in use to optimize energy consumption.

The nozzle reaches 290 °C and the bed 120 °C, with a layer height from 0.05 to 0.30 mm and 1.75 mm filament; the machine prints PLA, PETG, PC, PP, CPE, PVB, PVA and flexibles, and with the enclosure and filtration also ABS, ASA, HIPS and PA. The heated chamber is not included and is available as a separate optional enclosure.

Control is through a 3.5-inch color graphic display, with Ethernet, NFC and a removable Wi-Fi module. It is the ideal platform for complex prototypes, multi-color prints and production with soluble support materials.
