Prusa XL to Prusa XL+ Upgrade - 1 Tool Head

What's new in XL+

The XL received a number of important upgrades that make the user experience and print quality better, speeds faster, and operation easier and even more reliable.

Faster calibration

The XL aligned its toolheads with a mechanical pin - accurate, but lengthy. The XL+ uses a dedicated electronic sensor to align toolheads fully automatically.

Faster printing

The XL+ prints 10–15% faster than the XL. On a 60-hour prop print, that's roughly eight hours back - one more evening in the workshop, or one more batch per day in production.

New Belts for Better Quality

The new GT1.5 belts also bring a visible improvement. They help make fine repeating artifacts less noticeable, which is especially useful on the large, smooth surfaces the XL is often used to print.

Cooling rebuilt for long runs

New, improved cooling on individual toolheads leads to perfect print quality and outstanding overhang performance - your prints will look better and you'll need fewer supports. Plus, there are additional fans and heatsinks to cool down the electronics.

A Nozzle Wiper

At the start of every print, every nozzle is cleaned using the nozzle wiper - more precise pre-print calibration, better looking prints.

A reliable firmware foundation

Every feature we shipped across the whole Prusa lineup since the XL launched is in the XL+ out of the box.

What you get with the upgrade

Smoother-Looking Surfaces

New GT1.5 belts make unwanted repeating patterns finer and harder to notice, especially on large, smooth surfaces where even subtle artifacts can stand out.

What you get with the upgrade

Tougher, Better Plastic parts

New plastic parts are made from PC and PCCF to withstand elevated temperatures in the enclosure.

What you get with the upgrade

Improved Cooling in Every Aspect

Print cooling on par with the award-winning MK4S and CORE One printers. Reworked cooling of printer's critical components for reliable operation in demanding conditions.
