Original Prusa XL 3D Printer – Large Format Multi-Material CoreXY System
Australia's Premier Large-Format Multi-Material 3D Printer – Zero-Waste Toolchanger Technology
The Original Prusa XL represents a revolutionary approach to large-format 3D printing, combining a massive 360×360×360mm build volume with innovative toolchanger technology for true multi-material printing. Designed and built in the EU by Josef Prusa's renowned team, the Prusa XL 3D printer delivers professional-grade results for Australian engineers, designers, manufacturers, and makers who demand both scale and precision without the material waste typical of traditional multi-colour systems.
KEY INNOVATION: Lightning-fast toolchanger with up to 5 independent toolheads, segmented heatbed technology, zero-waste multi-material printing, and CoreXY precision — all in a 360mm cube build volume.
Revolutionary Toolchanger System – True Multi-Material Freedom
The Original Prusa XL's toolchanger technology fundamentally transforms multi-material 3D printing. Unlike traditional single-nozzle systems that waste filament during colour and material changes, the Prusa XL dedicates each toolhead to its own material. Keep up to five filaments loaded simultaneously and print complex multi-material objects faster with little to no waste.

Lightning-Fast Tool Changes
- Zero-waste printing with wipe-to-infill and minimal purges
- Material versatility — combine rigid, flexible, and soluble supports
- Speed advantage on complex jobs
- Scalable configuration — upgrade from 1 to 2 or 5 toolheads
Spool Join Technology
Spool Join automatically switches to another loaded spool when the current one runs out, enabling uninterrupted long prints. Load up to five 2kg spools and produce a 10kg model without intervention.

Massive 360×360×360mm Build Volume
Over four times the capacity of the MK4. Ideal for automotive components, architectural models, production tooling, and full-scale prototypes — with consistent accuracy across the entire area.

CoreXY Precision at Scale
CoreXY minimises vibrations and maintains precision across the large build space, delivering dimensional accuracy and surface finish that rivals smaller machines.
Advanced Motion Control
- Input Shaper to reduce ringing at speed
- Pressure Advance for clean corners
- Phase Stepping for quiet operation
- Stealth Mode for noise-sensitive environments

Perfect First Layer Every Time
Loadcell-based first layer sensing measures force directly for a pristine first layer on any sheet type across the full 360×360mm bed.

Segmented Heatbed Technology
Sixteen individually controlled tiles prevent thermal deformation and improve flatness and thermal uniformity. Unused tiles can be switched off to save energy.

Proven Double-Sided Print Sheets
Removable spring steel sheets with multiple textures to suit different materials.
Nextruder – Next Generation Direct Drive Extruder
Zero-backlash gearbox and large drive gear for consistent filament control, quick-change nozzles, and excellent flexible filament handling.
Material Compatibility
Handles PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, TPU/TPE, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PP, PCCF, PVA, BVOH, and composites.

Smart Connectivity & Control
Prusa Connect Cloud Platform
Upload G-code via browser, schedule jobs, monitor via webcam, and manage multiple printers securely.

Colour LCD Touchscreen
4.3″ colour LCD with touch and rotary control, G-code previews, QR code docs, and Cancel Object.

Australian Industry Applications
Engineering & Manufacturing
Functional prototypes, jigs, tooling, and end-use parts at scale. Multi-material enables rigid + flexible combos and soluble supports.
Automotive & Motorsport
Full-scale interior mockups, ducts, brackets, and custom components. Carbon-fibre reinforced materials for strength.
Architecture & Construction
Large massing models and facade studies in one piece; integrate windows and cladding in a single print.
Product Design & Development
Full-scale functional prototypes with overmoulded grips, seals, and soft-touch sections.
Education & Research
User-friendly workflow and open-source firmware for advanced experimentation.
Medical & Healthcare
Large anatomical models and training aids; combine rigid and flexible sections.
Original Prusa XL Enclosure (Optional)
Essential for materials prone to warping. Provides stable chamber temps, HEPA filtration, and integrated control via the printer touchscreen.
Video Overview
Power-Loss Recovery
Hardware-based recovery stores the last extruder position and resumes precisely after an outage — even for network prints.

Open Source & Privacy Focused
Fully offline operation available with no limitations. Open firmware on GitHub; you control shared data when using Prusa Connect.

Continuous Improvement Through Updates
Long-term firmware support and feature releases keep the platform improving over time.
