RE: ERRF 2022

Any word on the release of the XL?  

RE: ERRF 2022

Early 2023 is the current projection.  They still haven’t settled the PSU issue.  They have a shroud in development that will cover the top of the unit.

I am not sure that is the current.  They plan to start in December but most will be in 2023.  Then again, it could have shifted.  I thought they might have given an ERRF update.  

RE: ERRF 2022

That’s what I was hearing at the booth.

RE: ERRF 2022

If they haven't solved the PSU problem yet, I'll be surprised for "early 2023". Fingers crossed, though.

RE: ERRF 2022

From the staff or John Q. Public?

RE: ERRF 2022

I spoke to Mikolas.  He told me about the status of PSU issue and the shroud.  They even considered shipping two different PSU solutions to make up for demand.  Prior to that someone asked about the ship date, and a staff member replied “early 2023”.

RE: ERRF 2022

Thanks for the update.  I tend to be skeptical of forum update unless they come from the source because there are so many doubting Thomases and Trolls on the forum.  I am not surprised or upset with the delay.  I am surprised they have not updated the shipping dates of they know it is going to be delayed.

RE: ERRF 2022

Unfortunately, Prusa doesn't seem keen on giving timely updates. In such an information vacuum, something tends to fill the void, and all we have at this case is 2nd hand information. Unless Prusa adopts a better stance on keeping backers/customers updated, that'll be the trend.

RE: ERRF 2022

It's a pathetic way to deal with a product launch. Customers should be sympathetic to the supply chain issues. The XL isn't even a defined product though from a technical basis as yet. Let's hold Prusa accountable to the product they sold us and hopefully they deliver.

RE: ERRF 2022

The only way you gonna hold them accountable is to cancel your order.  Go ahead.  

RE: ERRF 2022

I can’t hold the supply issues against them.  They are probably regretting the “early” announcement.  Maybe they can ship units that only have 1-2 tool changers initially since they only require 2 PSUs.  I forgot which tool changer configurations required 3 PSUs.  The XL at the show did experience a failure.  Hopefully it was a fluke.

That’s where I’m heading, like many others. I’ll hold on and see what Bambu Lab announce next. My X1C is smashing it out of the park so can’t wait to see what they deliver next. 

RE: ERRF 2022

On the Bambu, it is ok.  It does not have the feature list of the XL.  Smaller print volume and a single head so it has a bit to go to match the XL.  

RE:

They have delivered on their promise and in a timeframe few thought possible. Prusa need to wake up because right now they are looking old hat. The X1 and X1C will decimate MK3s sales as well as already denting XL orders. I want the XL to succeed but right now it doesn’t look like it will. It looks old and clunky in comparison. That screen on the XL is embarrassing and Prusa must know that 

RE: ERRF 2022

If you are so anti Prusa, why do you come here.  If I were as angry and disgruntled as you are, I would cancel and out my money elsewhere.  

I personally, will patiently wait for the XL.

You see criticism as anti-Prusa when I’m anything but. I want them to succeed however they’re facing a changing world and they’re sold a printer on a spec they don’t seem able to deliver. Are they beyond scrutiny and criticism? Why does it matter to you? You’re just a punter like most of us 

RE: ERRF 2022

I think you miss the point of why people buy Prusa printers.  Prusa is and will not lose a lot of MK3S sales to Bambu unless Bambu developers a forum, support network, and Printables support network to match what Prusa has.  I am tempted to buy a Bambu but it definitely will not replace an MK3s.  It will add to my current fleet.  

I am not 100% happy with the delays and lack of communication but I understand why it is happening.
