Prusa
Prusa XL (5-tool) review
A true toolchanger. Five independent hotends means five materials with almost no purge waste — the only sane way to do heavy multi-material work.
Best for: Serious multi-material and small-batch production.
What we like
- Real toolchanging, near-zero purge waste
- Segmented bed heats only what you use
- Enormous 360 mm build area
What we don't
- Costs as much as a used car
- Not enclosed as standard
- Tool calibration takes patience

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a headline number no printer sustains across a whole part — treat it as a ceiling, not a throughput estimate.
