2024 Predictions?
Prusa had a heck of a 2023. The XL started shipping, the MK4 started shipping, the MMU3 started shipping, and input shaping came to the Mini. With how blown away I am with the input shaper on the Mini, I’m waiting for the MK3S+ 3.5 update. I wasn’t going to do it at first, but it’s like getting a whole new machine.
My question to you all, do you think there any surprises for us in 2024 or is Prusa going to get caught up on back orders and software/firmware refinements? Maybe something like a two-head “XL Mini” (smaller core XY machine)?

RE: 2024 Predictions?
My guess is that PRusa will push their Farm version of printers. Hopefully we get some tools out of that. I don't have a 'farm', more of a garden.
I think we'll hear more about aux heads for the XL. I would think a paste extruder would be one of the first announced. But who knows when we'll actuall see them.
I would also think that we'll see the first 3rd party heads for the XL. Probably E3D and also Maker ones.
I think we'll be teased with AI based failed print monitoring.
I think glass (not carbon fiber) filled ASA would be really interesting. Tame the bit of warping in it, and still allow it to accept color. (more of a want than a prediction).

Had to look up paste extruder. From what I see that would be useful for ceramics or decorative cookies? 😁

Whelp, 2024 turned out to be pretty lame. 😄
