XL brother - Prusa M/L ?  

RE: XL brother - Prusa M/L ?

Smaller XL? No, because they have other printers that overlap in features with what you are looking for.

RE: XL brother - Prusa M/L ?

I could see a taller, and then a wider or longer be one before a smaller one.  I would like to see the removable extruder (not just the nozzle and heater bits), but full XL heads available for Mk3/4.  Maybe we’ll see that when they get to a positive supply situation next year on heads.

I’m not against your idea, but a Mk4/MMU3 in a current enclosure is pretty close to what you are asking for.  What you are asking for is a baby version of of their ‘pro’ high-temp printer.  I’ve got the E3D REVO HT (400C) version, and I’m going to update my MK3S+ with PC-CF parts and put it in a Prusa enclosure.  Not active heating, but hopefully good enough for some better performance with engineering polymers.

What I would personally benefit with such printer unlike existing MK4+ MMU + Enclosure combo :

- Dual toolhead printing multimaterial (mostly PETG/PLA supports combo and technical materials) on a regular basis, quickly and without huge purge waste.

- Tinkerless air filtration and active heating capability for more advanced materials.

- Less space required (than MK3/4 Enclosure) with an increased build volume over the existing 25x21x22cm

PS. Indeed removable entire extruder would be neat.

Given how Prusa struggles with getting their current launches of Mk4 and XL into order (production, QC and support are all struggling) I'd be surprised if Prusa presses on with yet another launch.

RE: XL brother - Prusa M/L ?

Yes, this is exactly what I think should exist in the product line. A 9 tile smaller CoreXY with 2 toolheads, drop the XL single toolhead.

Do you think Prusa will soon reveal for public (already developed for AFS) smaller brother of XL?

What I really expect (hope) is:

-Price range: sub 1500$

-Build volume: 27x27x27cm (9 tile)

-Built in enclosure

-Active heating

-Two tool changer
