Adding a print head on base XL

Will it be possible to add via an update kit to add additional heads? On a normal Prusa XL?

I would be surprised if it could not.

Have you put this question to Prusa yet?

Because the community cannot provide a well-founded answer to this.

Check the XL specs on Prusa3D.org.

The answer is yes.  This was addressed in both the videos and on the specs on the Prusa site.

Anyone heard any more about this?  I see some of the parts on Prusa’s shop.

I don't see an upgrade kit proper on the e-shop yet.  I would think it would be packaged as a kit especially when going from 1-2T to 3+T since you have to add power supply capacity.  I just ordered 5 .4 nozzles yesterday since they're making that the default.  I'm curious if that swap is going to complicate matters.  Plus I think they are still fulfilling preorders which I'd imagine will delay the upgrade kits.

Hopefully kit with instructions will come soon.

Adding a print head to a base XL Prusa printer via an update kit might be possible depending on the model's design and compatibility. However, it's essential to check with the manufacturer or official documentation for specific guidance and to ensure compatibility with your particular printer model.
