Original Prusa XL 5-toolhead 3D Printer

Anyone producing multi-material parts that combine incompatible materials (e.g. TPU and PLA), or needing soluble supports without purging, finds in the XL the fastest, zero-waste tool-changing system in the desktop category. Compared to a Bambu Lab X1C with AMS at €1,500, the XL eliminates the cost and time of the wipe tower and doesn't mix materials; for those who only occasionally print multicolor with color changes, the price difference isn't justified. Compared to an €8,000 Ultimaker S7, the XL offers a larger print volume (360 mm versus 330) and five toolheads instead of two, while remaining open and less expensive. The typical buyer is a professional or prosumer producing functional parts with more than two materials daily, also taking advantage of cheap materials for supports; the main limitations are the floor footprint (700×900 mm) and the high price for those printing only single-material models.
