Not available through OctoPrint: sync loaded filament from the multi-material unit. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs. ## What slicer to use for the Prusa XL+ Prusa printers use PrusaSlicer, Prusa's own slicer. There's no ready-made profile for the Prusa XL+ in our cloud yet. - [PrusaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/prusaslicer): No ready-made profile for the Prusa XL+ yet · Prusa's own slicer · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [OrcaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/orcaslicer): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [BambuStudio](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/bambustudio): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [ElegooSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/elegooslicer): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [CrealityPrint](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/crealityprint): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Cura](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/cura): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Kiri:Moto](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/kirimoto): No profile for the Prusa XL+ · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Prusa XL+. ## The app for the Prusa XL+ Use SimplyPrint as the app for your Prusa XL+: watch and run it from your phone or any browser, slice in the cloud, and keep it next to your other printers. It's free to start.

[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## Prusa XL+ specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 360 x 360 x 360 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 360 x 360 mm - Max print height: 360 mm ### Printing - Enclosure: Open frame - Motion system: CoreXY - Max extruder temperature: 290 °C - Has heated bed: Yes - Max bed temperature: 115 °C - Number of nozzles: 1 - Toolheads: 1 - Direct drive: Yes - Probing tool / Auto Bed Leveling: Yes - Filament width: 1.75 mm ### Multi-material - Toolchanger or hotend changer: Yes - IDEX (independent dual extruders): No ### Connecting - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB - Prints from: USB stick - Supports serial printing: Unknown - Shipped firmware: Marlin ### Files and slicing - Supported file formats: G-code (.gcode, .gco, .g) ### The printer - Printer manufacturer / brand: Prusa - Printer model name: XL+ - Made by a company from: Czechia - Launched: August 2026 - Still made: Yes [Read more by the manufacturer](https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-xl/) ## What filament can the Prusa XL+ print? Filament compatibility for the Prusa XL+: the materials Prusa lists for it. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | PETG | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | TPU & flexibles | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | ABS & ASA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Nylon (PA) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Polycarbonate (PC) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | ### Best filament for the Prusa XL+ Filaments the Prusa XL+ prints well, Prusa's own first, then the best known. - [Prusament ASA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/prusament/asa): ASA, 255-265 °C - [Prusament PC Blend](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/prusament/pc-blend): PC, 265-285 °C - [Prusament PC-CF](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/prusament/pc-cf): PC, 275-295 °C - [Prusament PETG](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/prusament/petg): PETG, 240-260 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Basic](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-basic): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Matte](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-matte): PLA, 190-230 °C - [ELEGOO PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/elegoo/pla): PLA, 190-220 °C - [SUNLU PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/sunlu/pla): PLA, 200-240 °C ## When to choose the Prusa XL+ Choose the XL+ for large multi-material or multi-nozzle jobs: each toolhead has its own nozzle and filament, Prusa says it prints 10 to 15 per cent faster than the original XL and aligns its tools with an electronic sensor. You can start with one tool and add up to five later. It is open-frame, so for ABS or ASA you need Prusa's optional enclosure (up to 50 °C, or 60 °C with the heater), and Prusa says independent review units only go out at launch, so no independent verdict exists yet. If you want an enclosed machine and eight tools in a smaller footprint, the CORE One L+ INDX is the alternative. ### Pros - Up to five toolheads, each with its own nozzle and filament, so multi-material jobs produce little purge waste (Prusa). - A 360 x 360 x 360 mm volume with a 16-tile segmented bed that heats only the area in use (Prusa). - Toolheads align automatically with an electronic sensor, and Prusa says it prints 10 to 15 per cent faster than the XL. - Run-out sensors and power-loss recovery for long unattended jobs, on a household outlet (Prusa). - Works with SimplyPrint through OctoPrint, and is expected to work through the SimplyPrint Client or Prusa Direct. ### Cons - Open frame: the enclosure is an optional extra, and the heater for 60 °C is a further one (Prusa). - Prusa's price of €2,299 is for a single tool; more toolheads cost more (Prusa). - No independent review of the XL+ yet; Prusa says reviews will be linked as they publish. - Lead time was listed as four to five weeks (Prusa). ### Who it suits - Schools: Not a good fit. Open-frame with several hot toolheads in reach, large and expensive for a classroom. - Hobbyists: Good fit. A large, fast toolchanger for serious makers, at a high price. - Businesses: Great fit. Large multi-material prototypes, jigs and fixtures with little waste, from a maker that sells to industry. - Print farms: Good fit. Unattended multi-day jobs are a design goal, but no plate-clearing kit is in our sources and the XL+ itself is new. ## Compare the Prusa XL+ with similar printers - [Prusa Pro HT90](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/prusa-pro-ht90): Compatible, 300 x 300 x 400 mm, Also by Prusa · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [LulzBot TAZ 8 Long Bed](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/lulzbot-taz-8-long-bed): Expected to work, 295 x 582 x 285 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC) - [LulzBot TAZ 8 XT](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/lulzbot-taz-8-xt): Expected to work, 295 x 295 x 582 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC) - [Bambu Lab H2S Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-h2s-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 340 x 320 x 340 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [Compare the Prusa XL+ with other printers](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=prusa-xl-plus#choose) ## Where to buy the Prusa XL+ - [Prusa's global store](https://simplyprint.io/buy/8337) (Official store) (Affiliate link): €2,299.00 (Price at Prusa3D Store, checked October 23, 2026) ## About Prusa Prusa Research is a Prague company founded in 2012 by Josef Průša, who came from the open-source RepRap project. It designs and builds the Original Prusa and Prusa CORE printers, makes Prusament filament, develops the PrusaSlicer slicer and runs the Printables model site. Printers are built in Prague and at its US site in Delaware, sold assembled or as kits, and used by hobbyists, schools, businesses and print farms. - Founded: 2012 - Headquarters: Prague, Czech Republic - Ownership: Prusa Research a.s., founded and led by Josef Průša - People: More than 1,200 people (company site, 2026) - Website: https://www.prusa3d.com Openness: Open (4.9 of 5) Prusa is the most open of the large brands: GPL firmware, an open slicer, full local control without an account and spare parts for everything. Hardware design files now come under Prusa's own Open Community License, which allows personal and in-house business use but not selling machines. - Firmware and custom firmware (5 of 5): Firmware for current printers is published on GitHub under GPL-3.0 and updated with every release. Official firmware is signed, but Prusa documents how to flash custom firmware by breaking a seal on the board and says this does not void the warranty. Prusa says firmware and printable parts are shared right away and electronics schematics later. - Local control and integrations (5 of 5): PrusaLink, built into the CORE One, MK4S, MK3.9, MK3.5 and XL, handles monitoring, file uploads and print control on the local network without internet or an account, and printing from USB works offline. Prusa publishes PrusaLink's HTTP API as an OpenAPI specification on GitHub, and its help centre covers OctoPrint setup. Prusa Connect is an optional cloud service for remote access. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts (5 of 5): Printers are open to any filament; PrusaSlicer is GPL-licensed and other slicers work. Instead of a locked RFID system, Prusa created OpenPrintTag, an NFC spool-tag standard that is free for any brand to use and works offline. - Repairs and spare parts (5 of 5): The e-shop sells spare parts for each printer, printable parts are published, and the full CORE One CAD files are released. Prusa's open-source page says its goal is printers that stay moddable and easy to repair for decades, and its licence explicitly allows making spare parts for your own machines. - Data and privacy (4 of 5): No account is needed for local use through PrusaLink or USB. Prusa Connect needs a Prusa account and stores G-codes and telemetry in the cloud. Prusa Research is an EU company and publishes its privacy policy and a Trust Center. - Community and documentation (5 of 5): Large community around Printables and the forum, a detailed knowledge base, and firmware and slicer developed in public on GitHub with open issue trackers. ### Pros - GPL firmware with a documented, warranty-safe way to flash custom firmware. - Full control on the local network through PrusaLink, with no account needed. - Spare parts for every printer, published printable parts and released CAD files. - Kits available for people who want to build and understand their printer. - Made in Prague, with a second factory in Delaware for US buyers. - OpenPrintTag is an open spool-tag standard any brand can use. ### Cons - Hardware files use Prusa's own OCL licence, which bars selling machines built from them; it is not an OSI open-source licence. - Electronics schematics are published later than firmware and printable parts. - Remote access and cloud storage need Prusa Connect and an account. ### Track record - July 2026: Printed Solid, the Delaware company Prusa Research bought in 2022, was renamed Prusa USA. Its Wilmington site builds the MK4S and CORE One+, makes filament and is Prusa's US service centre. - December 2025: Prusa released the full CAD files of the CORE One under its new Open Community License (OCL). OCL allows modifying, sharing mods and in-house commercial use, and grants patent and repair rights, but bars selling machines built from the files without an agreement, so it is not a standard open-source licence. Prusa said it is also filing patents on its designs. - October 2025: Prusa launched OpenPrintTag, a published NFC standard for smart filament spools that any brand can use without licence fees, starting with redesigned Prusament spools. - November 2024: Prusa announced the CORE One, its first fully enclosed CoreXY printer with active chamber temperature control. - March 2023: Josef Průša wrote that open source in 3D printing was under strain from cloners and licence violations. With the MK4, Prusa released firmware sources and models of the plastic parts but held back the electronics plans, planning to publish them later under a new licence.
