What is the concern about the cantilever design?  I am sure the extruder will be fine. 

Not so much a concern with Prusa's Mini design, at least based on the limited info currently available. The others I've seen (Tevo Michaelangelo, Monoprice Select Mini) all have a lot of weight hanging off the arm and corresponding reports of gradual sagging. If the hotend & extruder are light and the frame and arm robust, it shouldn't be a huge problem with the limited build size.

Could the possible sagging issue be fixed just by adding weight on the other side as counter balance just like a crane?

If perfectly weighted, that could be possible.

They are aiming for 400x400 mm and 1200 to 1500 dollars.

After around 17:30.

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

1200-1500 is a great price.  

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

1500,- wouldn’t be little but I guess prusa will make a lot for the money

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

It highly depends on the components. Fully enclosed, with network and camera, water cooled extruder for high temperature printing, electronics in cooler zone ....

.... I should stop dreaming at work.

Thank you for sharing the video—very excited about the XL, but my first printer will be the Mini!

That is very smart!  The mini will be a perfect printer to start!  Once you learn about z-height and using different filaments, then you can invest the $1,200 to $1,500 if you still want a huge printer.  I learned about 3D printing on my Prusa MK2s.  Then, I bought a CR-10 because I wanted a bigger size.  The CR-10 is a piece of garbage!  I have wasted a lot of time trying to get it to print reliably.  I am looking forward to the Prusa quality in the bigger size!

It’s a much more manageable price and I have faith that they will produce a high quality printer with good reliability.  Now to convince the wife that I need another hobby...

You have my deep and honest sympathy.  Please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of America for inflicting Trump on the rest of the world.  The positive thing for us, he hasn’t started a trade war with the Czech Republic yet.  Perhaps I have as long as March 2020 to place my order.

We just have a bunch of Narcissistic Colonial Xenophobes running the country here. I dread to think how it's going to pan out...

I don't think a 3d printing forum is a place for a political discussion.

You are right, I should not have posted that.  I will do better.

That is my plan exactly!

No a big deal.  I have learned that not everyone agrees with my politics, religion, or ethical beliefs.  

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

Anyway, back to topic.

In the video, JP mentioned a new hotend and heatbreak design, new controller board with new display, new heated bed etc.

I can't really see what could be reused from the Mk3 to upgrade to a core x-y design with the above mentioned differences.

The only thing that comes to mind is new buyers pay full price and get all the extrusion, hardware, and printed parts supplied, whereas existing owners could get a discount, extrusions and hardware, but print all their own printed parts to save cost.

I hope they sell them without the printed parts in the future

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

JP say´s the Prusa XL has some very cool features for the head bed, can we expect something like "heated Print areas" for some smaller Print parts, to not even head the full sice 400x400, maybe 4 squares wich even 200x200? 🙂

That’s an interesting idea, and very practical.

RE: 400 x 400 Prusa Printer?

That is very interesting.
