You can buy a cheap 3D printer for $230. That is, if you like tinker frustration. You could build a business on $230 printers. It just takes time and constant small adjustments to get things to work reasonably. As 3D printers go, the Prusa name is known for its problem free printing. After learning on a Creality printer the Prusa is child’s play. Of course we don’t have any real use info on the XL yet. …. 16 individual controlled bed plates with thermistors !!! 5 heads with hot color or nozzle size change !!! Game Changer!!

OldFartRides Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) So a $2k Prusa is “pro-sumer” grade printer. Edited November 18, 2021 by OldFartRides Correcting autocorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prusa just released their newest printer and it has all the improvements that I have been dreaming of. Next level stuff!! ( 2nd - 3rd Q 2022) I put my deposit down. …. And so did my daughter. … I I have the MK3S+ and have been thinking since yesterday what I could print with the XL printer, but until today I have unfortunately not yet thought of anything. Annoying! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying! 8x10 picture frames for the wife? those extra long Lincoln logs for the kids? ( “do it for the Children!!!” ) XL power pads? The self build option looks like it is going to take more time than the MK3S+. Josef better send at least two bags of gummy bears. I got an email today saying mine might show up in February. I ordered as soon as the website was available yesterday. I would hate to guess how many have been ordered sense then.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 One thing I know, I don't want to print Power-Pads 😅 How many tools your ordered? 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) $2k for a hobby printer? Wow, thats pretty steep. Looks like fun, but i honestly can't think of what I would do with such a device that prints plastics. I want one that prints in forged steel and aluminum. Looks really nice tho. I wonder how much all in for the 5 color changes? Edited November 19, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'd need a new name for the hot end... HTH end (hotter than heck)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one of them is going to have more than one tool. I have until shipping day to decide. The printer with two tools is $2,500. Five is $3,400. You can buy and add them when ever you want but it is easier if you start with two. You add an expansion board that expands up to 5 tools. Also Josef said that other tools will be added later. (laser, not sure what else) Edited November 20, 2021 by RockyTop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
