Full video of a sub-20 minute Benchy on the Original Prusa MK4: kzhead.info/sun/p8ewoqmhlnWZgH0/bejne.html
That's the one you can get on Ender in about 15minutes? Nice. You're getting there..
Oh no. I just ordered the Mk3s+ kit four weeks ago. If only I had waited a few weeks.😭
@@SmidFilip Hey I went to your channel to check out your 15 minute Benchy and all I saw were low-res videos of the most inane models known to man, and they apparently took upwards of an hour each for the most part, usually 2+. Can you please link me your 15-minute Benchy? Thanks!
@@G-zt2wp 🤣
Can you modify this printer to go polycarbonate carbon based zortrax graphene carbon based high quality prints I am thinking of getting this then modifying the extruder and also adding the treetech octopus logic board and then need to tune the code a bit with python..
Congratulations on the next generation! The original Prusa i3 design was a major inspiration and we still love ours. There have been so many incredible developments over the last 10 years, and it's great to see the newest iteration incorporating so much of what we have learned in a classic form factor. Great job on the new machine and kudos to the talented team at Prusa Research. May your next 10 years be as transformative as your first!
Made the untimely venture into 3d printing roughly a year ago, right before moving to our family house. The sheer amount of household items, wall mounts, alternative hinges offered by the prusa portfolio (and I mean Portfolio.. slicer, printables, webshop..) was and is insane. The team and the community really built something here. Happy to see the developments continue, and all of us be happy part of it. Thank you.
Congratulations Prusa on the releases and all the makers getting any printers! Loving my MK3S+ and minis for now, but always enjoy seeing the advancement in technology for others. Also, see y’all using the LTT screw driver! 👀👀👀
It's honestly a good screw driver. Expensive as fuck but good.
@@stelonous My wife and I have both used ours extensively since release and so far the price is my only complaint. That said, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
Prusa? Shipping NOW? April fools day already?
Love the LTT screwdriver at 2:50
Holy shit! This was unexpected 😍 looks super awesome ❤ My first printer was the Mk2! MK4 seems like the perfect upgrade 😍❤️
Same here! 😍
My first was made from sh*t and sticks, sourced from everywhere (ali, local hardware stores and flea markets) MK2 in 2014. Then some Chinese nonsense clone of Ender3 (which is Prusa's clone in it's turn), and year ago I returned back to Prusa family. Boi oh boi I'm happy with my decision! Going to upgrade my MK3S+ to MK4 by all means.
While I welcome the mk4, wth took so long? This should have been out sooner. Hopefully it brings with it the trademark quality and reliability of previous prusa printers. It is a desperately needed printer in the world of slow as molasses off the shelf printers. Now if they offer it with a larger build volume they would beat Bambu and retake some lost market share.
CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS. This is AWESOME, and it's what the maker community has been begging and waiting for eagerly for so long. Already on the website shopping. Keep up the good work!
They saw your video a month ago and started working Kappa
If this turns out to be an April Fools joke, I'm taking my Printables account offline...
You said in the video that bed slingers are dead. 👀
What without even seeing a review of the MK4? the majority of 3D printers have a few teething problems at launch and Prusa are among the very few companies that fix them, however, from what I have seen today it is not enough to stop me buying an X1 Carbon for less money, I have a MK3+ but I dont think I will be upgrading it to a MK4 unless the reviews change my mind.
Ordered!! Excited to see results
Really nice to see some multi colour parts in the MK4 - shows faith in the MMU3
Boosting engagement on comments about the MMU3. I really hope it’s good, my MMU2S was a nightmare.
This is amazing you've really done what looks like a refined blend of the best of the hobby engineering (voron/klipper) and made what I'm sure is going to be another rock solid and open source machine! Looking forward to ordering one!
Congratulations on this great milestone. Just the fact that I can upgrade my mk3 with a kit makes Prusa a great sustainable brand. Keep up the great work!
That's great news! Had to check the date first to make sure I wouldn't fall again for your April Fools prank haha!
Excellent to see full support for the old models as always! Open source for the win!
Great addition to the line of some of the most reliable printers out on the market for hobbyists.🎉
As always, great to see that upgrading is available from a Mk 3. Kudos. Great incremental upgrades, that add up to a lot. I like it. That said I may keep my customized Mk3 and add a Mk4. I wonder if you guys made belt tensioning any easier... tensioning the Y axis under the bed instead of up front at the pulley is silly, and the same goes for tensioning the X axis, at least on the mk3. But... fixed that with aftermarker printed parts, can probably do just that on the Mk4 if needed.
You could always make small adjustments at the front pulley if you left a gap between the pulley and frame on the mk3 and later variants
I have the 3S and was considering doing the upgrade, I looked at the prices for the 3.5, 3.9, and 4, and since I really want the new motors that eliminate the vertical artifacts, I need the full 4 upgrade which is $579, but for 220 more, I could have a whole new 4 and still keep my old printer. So I think I’m gonna go for the kit for $799.
@@jaredf6205 It looks like the kit version is not avaiolable.
Order placed! Excited for my first MK printer
Surprised you don't have one!
Hi . spot uncle jessy ~
@@JRT3D never too late hahaha
GZ, cant wait to see some reviews on this one! Never stop with the open source approach guys (:
Sorry... I'm new to this ... Reading up about options to decide what printer to buy. After I watched this video..my gut is telling me this is the one. But what do you mean by "open source" if you don't mind me asking?
@@renevanderwesthuizen1520 open source mean that they shere all the information and do not claim rights on the technology. They developed free software which can be used for every 3D printer, and even the files for building there one hardware are available and shared publicly. I one MK3 and definitely recommend it. I guss the MK4 gonna be grate to, but there is always risk in buying something which was not tested by other people yet. Good luck (:
@@alonyouval3452 thank you so much for the explanation. I really appreciate it.
I bought an Mk2 back in the day and a Mk3 and I will probably end up buying this! What an incredible looking machine you guys have built!
incredible looking machine? It is looking wise nearly like the mk3 or am i wrong (besides the screen)? I mean the facts are counting
@@adamriese3610 Not quite- when I say incredible looking I meant more the feature set, the extruder looks amazing, the new motors, etc. I am considering how promising it looks. not just the visual looks!
@@ArticTiger 1100$ and u get a 3d printed bedslinger. When u can get a bambulab that is faster and prints better LoL
@@TheVevaxel so you tested the new Prusa?
@@adamriese3610 Ong people are freaking over old technologies being added to a mk3.
Really awesome upgrades! I hope this printer will be a trend setter in the industry!
This is great for existing Prusa users, you listened to users and made it happen! Will be buying!
Wow!! What a great surprise. It has been a lot of fun to see how Prusa has grown through the years. Congratulations!! One more thing…I hope to order one soon.
Hmm , Its a good step forward but i still see the bambu lab ahead. Kinda feels like the MK4 is at the state at which the MK3 should have been a long time ago. Especially when you take the price in consideration. Yet a big leap forward always makes me happy. Good 3d printer will push the consumer Printer even further. I hope many people will find joy with this printer.
When i saw the price 😅 at this point it's marketing and quality, honestly i was never impressed by bed slingers. And I have an i3 clone, amazingly reliable printer. I even designed a lot of parts for it. But my old faithful that still prints is a MakerBot Replicator (those old wooden ones), but recently replaced by a Creality cartesian printer (Sermoon D1) which was there first step into a high end consumer printer, TONS of design flaws which I've been fixing/redesigning and adjusting the g-code for. It's no Bamboo Labs P1P but I'm printing perfect prints at 200mm/s 1000mm/s^2 without input shaper ran on it yet 😮 right now the limiting factor is a bearing that's starts to chatter (it's been greased) when you pass 250mm/s 😢 but works on 500mm/s 5000mm/s^2 😅 as long as it's a small print 😂 then it catches too much speed and the sound is horrific lol (using the Sonic Pad, total game changer)
Wooooooo... pretty! There is so much to like. The motherboard layout looks great with ethernet, usb-c, and wi-fi connectivity. The 'nextruder' gearing is appealing (and sorta hypnotic to watch - clear plastic cover, anyone?). Nozzle change? Are you kidding me? Love the idea! So much to like; so much to love! Thank you.
4:02 Those minions are as excited as I am for the new MK4!!! Well done mr. Průša and the whole team!!!!
This was the way too do it. They now put themselves back in the game I can’t wait to see the XL nice job. I’m glad everyone put pressure on and you guys responded. I mean how could you not?!
I honestly still see bambu lab ahead of the MK4. But i dont want to be a grouch. Its a big leap for prusa and i hope people will be happy with it. Which Printer do you own / Will you get this one?
@@pooppyybuhhole true
@@slamoto2 I have a voron 2.4 and a K3 that both run crazy speeds and print crazy materials one has an mmu. And I will never buy a machine that is locked down to proprietary stuff. I like fixing and building my own machines. That said this printer allowing more options and being open source is a big win in my book. If I had the money to blow on something it would be a fully CNC tool changer and not one of these machines. But I love to see that they are making it more accessible for people that do not have my skill level. For the kids etc.
LTT Screwdriver at 2:50. I like it!
YES…thank you for the upgrade kits
love seeing that LTT screwdriver! Cant wait to get ahold of an MK4!
I always wanted a Prusa printer until Bambu joined the game. I was so close to buying a Bambu, but now I am extremely happy that i didn't! For the most part, the only thing that stoppt me from buy a Bambu was the noise. But now that Prusa has Input Shaper and Pressure Advance with nearly *silent* operation, I am sure that I am going to buy a MK4!!! Damn great job Prusa on keeping up with Bambu and releasing a worthy competitor!!!
I own a Bamb Lab printer and they have a "silent mode", which is 50% printing speed, insanely quiet imo. I can imagine that the promised silent ability of the prusa will be some sort of "silent mode" as well. If not its very outstanding. Let me know when you got yours :)! Have a good one
The X1 prints so damn fast I don't even care what noise it makes. I'd rather listen to stepper noise for two hours than quiet steppers for 8.
My X1C is the best printer I've ever owned. And I've had 2 Prusa's. More power to anyone enjoying the 3D printing hobby but I was so frustrated until I got my Bambu X1C. Happy as can be now!
I own 2 x1c and cant imagine going to the slower prusa. Also imputshaper and pressure advance do not ship with the unit as they are still testing. Wouldnt want an unfinished product.
With AMS on Bambu Lab X1C, Prusa Can pack their koffers and fahr nach Hause.
2:50 is that LTT screwdrver? 😳
Just finished building the MK4 kit and printed the rocket engine to check it all out, did amazingly well. The build was a great experience, absolutely love the new extruder and load cell features. This was by far the easiest build I've done, and I've built multiple models of Prusa and other brands of printers. You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one. Now on to build the enclosure ;)
congratulations to the Marketing and Visual Advertising department... now i want an MK4 !
As someone who bought the Prusa i3 Mk3, and then got the Mk3S upgrade, it has been my all time favourite printer, while it has become louder over the years, its still my favourite printer, and the eagerness to get the Mk4 is real
Without a doubt. I stared with the cheaper Creality printers and I learned a lot, but once I got my Prusa I never looked back its just easy mode all day and all night don't need to worry about it!
While I'm still waiting for the XL, I just ordered the MK4... I'll upgrade my MK3S when it's available. I'm so excited to get the MK4!!!
Great introduction of the MK4! Excited to see more
My Mk2 kit build has beeing trucking along for 6 years I will be happy to shell out for a mk 4 in about 6 months. VERY excited.
Good on you Prusa! This is what people were hoping for, and it seems you delivered. Now, all we need is a dual-z axis Mini with that same board for those that need a small footprint printer..
Came 2 hours later and the kit is already Out of Stock! 😮 It shows already how nice this machine probably is. Well done guys!
Yep, same here..lol I saw the upgrade kits too... They don't seem worth it in price. Why pay $579 for the mk4 upgrade kit when you can spend $250 more and get an entirely new printer... They'll be back in stock though so no worries. I love my mk3s (have the + parts in the box) but this 4 will be nice addition! The XL is just too large of a machine for me. I do wish the mk4 would be slightly taller or larger print bed. That's a shame it's the same... but a plus cause we can still use all our current sheets for it.
Hello, The Original Prusa i3 MK4 kit is only listed on the e-shop to offer full product describtion, however it will be fully released in two weeks along with assembly guide.
@@NewShockerGuy$250 is a lot of money, and that’s a comparison to the kit not the assembled printer. Not everyone is capable to build a printer. Not everyone has the space for 2 printers, so the upgrade kit will keep n>0 number of printers out of the landfill.
ordered one straight away have been waiting for a refresh!
Looks great!!! Feels like this came out of nowhere, and it's shipping now!
Seems like another good product! And even if your options aren’t the *cheapest* i will still support them (along with other like minded developers) due to your role in keeping the Open Source dream alive! (Currently using my first 3D Printer, an i3 MK3S+ I’ve had for a few months now and loving every bit of it)
Much anticipated upgrade, excited to see how this performs.
I am very excited to get my hands on one. Have been loving my Mk2 and Mk2s since I got em years ago, can't wait to get a Mk4.
Unexpected and very attractive. Will be purchasing a MK4 + Enclosure by the end of the year! Thank you!
Prusa invests a lot of time and money into the 3D printing world and so far has done a commendable job supporting an open source ecosystem, so I do intend to continue supporting the company. I've owned a Mini and a MK3S+ and they've been great machines. Especially the Mini, surprisingly. I've since replaced the MK3S+ with a Bambu X1C and I don't think I can really justify getting rid of that for a MK4. That said, I am a preorder holder for the XL and I intend to follow through with purchasing it. The fact that Prusa is actually going to attempt to bring to market a hassle-free corexy toolchanger is very exciting.
2:50 Nice screwdriver!
Oh lord!!! I love it !!! This looks amazing !!!
Congratulations. It’s an engineering marvel and a work of art. Wonderful. I can’t wait to get mine.
The new motors to avoid the vertical artifacts are absolutly an improvment compared to the mk3s+ i really want this thing!
Considering the XL still has it and this one also uses the nextruder I'm guessing that still isn't solved.
Looks great! Can't wait for the Mk3/s/+ upgrade paths.
Already in the online dhop
@@paolostubeyou yeah, the updates are major so they are mighty expensive. The MK3.9 seems interesting though.
90% new hardware, upgrade path is sell your MK3 and buy MK4 (update - they actually do have an upgrade path from MK3S+ to MK4 and including the new stepper motors, it's $589 USD)
@@Sven_Hein yep, paid 200 € more for my whole MK3S Kit. Since I got quite a few spare parts for the MK3S, I preferred adding the MK4 as a whole.
Very expensive. MK4 kit - €889, upgrade from MK3S+ to MKS4 - €639 (full upgrade kit without printed parts, electronics, nextruder, motors), MK3S+ to MK3.9 (electronics, nextruder but not new motors) - €549, MK3S+ to MK3.5 (electronics mainly) - €279 .
I think I need to ‘borrow one for testing purposes of my own’. Looks great!
This is huge! Excited to see MK4 actually coming!
Only company I know of, other than Printed Solid...where you get a receipt with your printer that shows you all the parts made it through inspection. No wonder why you two made a good match!
Should we tell him or not?
No. Let's just let him figure it out on his own
@@TylerSilcox he already knows-reading is fundamental.
@@JRT3D It was a simple joke, wasn't trying to upset you or anybody else. Have a good one.
Looks neat! Hyped to get my hands on one!
Getting this!!! Congratz to the Prusa team, looking great!!
my bambu labs x1c and p1p will run circles around this thing
@@josefsteiner9401 I agree that the Bambu printers are better. But its still kinda weird to ruin the mood of people when they are happy about the new prusa. At some point its just the choice of the people, let them be happy. No need for random trashtalk.
I literally just got the MK3 + in the mail last week and now this comes out lols!
its so interesting comparing the landscape that the MK3 entered vs the MK4. What a different time we live in now
I was expecting something a bit more in-line with the other printers from the "current gen". Looking forward to learn more about it though. :)
Yeah. Its not that impressive sadly. But its a lifesign from prusa , which is really great.
Been waiting for this moment for forever!
My MK3 has been working every time, every day since I bought it 4 years ago! Never adjusted anything! So this can only be totally awesome 😀🫡
I was so fucking hoping this would happen. I have been saving for months for a new printer and wanted prusa because 1) reliable, 2) open source, 3) support 4) what prusa meant for the community. but I was not able to justify the price for the mk3. But NOW! Thank you !
Take a long, hard, seriously good look at what Bambu has to offer. I'm not a shill, I don't even own one - all of my printers are DIY.
@@Apophis-en9pi I have. But prusa is open source. That is very important for me
@@DracoMhuuh And I can 100% get behind that. Happy printing!
No way! That's insane! Looking great.
Wow looks nice 👌 Can’t wait to put my hands on one of these 😁
Cool!!!! Thanks For The Heads Up!!!!
Even Prusa uses the LTT Screwdriver xD I'm done XD
2:52 LTT screwdriver spotted!
Beautiful upgrades in every way still waiting for the XL need more volume guys come on
It is the significant speedup in print times. The auto first Layer calibrations. As well as the MMU option that makes me want to buy this model.
WOW Very interesting! Lots of new features, glad to see it!
Haha nice that I saw the LTT screwdriver :D
looks like I am going to be sleeping outside for 2 weeks. Thanks Prusa
Congrats on the release👍
A wild LTT screwdriver appeared...
Finaly, now problem to make money to order this beast. Keep up the good work Joo as allways. Thank you.
Yup me too; still figuring out how to make money from 3D printing to justify the purchase of a 2nd printer!!
Woohoo... ordering today! Good job Prusa.
2:51 Nice LTT Screwdriver btw, the colors do match very well together
This looks pretty cool! Input shaper FTW! Will there be a kit to upgrade MK3s to have input shaper? Edit: Just got to 3:32 and saw upgrade options. Very nice!
Where is the XL ?
added to my xmas wish list at the top!
I’m sold! Been waiting on the E3D obxidian nozzles and considering taking the revo hotend out to print filled filaments again. This nextruder just put my revo hotend up for sale. Looking very forward to doing this upgrade! Woo Prusa!
Just placed my order. The X1C looks nice and all however, open source and customizable along with owner upgrades and maintenance are more important to me. Prusa gets my business again.
@@icycoral If you went for with over the X1C you are making a big mistake.
I had the MK1, MK2 with MMU and currently the MK3s+ with MMU2s. I must have the MK4 with MMU3. 😍 I Love Prusa, best Printers, best Slicer, best Printables Website 😍and very personable 😍
Looks impressive...and I just upgraded from Mk3s to Mk3s+. Will the Mk4 upgrade-kits contain the multicolored printed part for the control panel, for those of us who have no MMU?
Hello, you will have to print all the plastic parts yourself. That includes the LCD panel cover.
@@JakubfromPrusaResearch That's quite disappointing. Given that the largest Upgrade is almost the same price as a new printer kit and that the Mk3s+ Upgrade contained the ASA fan shroud, I had hoped Prusa would maybe include a multicolored part for those of us who don't have the MMU.
@@torbenpirwitz1743 We are still collecting feedback and if we have more requests like this, we will reconsider. And if not, you can just contact our support with your order number and we will add this specific part to your order.
Christmas comes early!! And dear Prusa, launching it on 3/30 instead of 4/1 is a funny detail i enjoy
Looking great! One day... one day I'll have this!
Was that in LTT screwdriver? @ 2:50
Annnd they are back! Well played Prusa! Congrats 🎉
Minute 2:18 shows that micro banding/VFA (vertical fine artifacts) seemed to be a known and common issue on the MK3S. I replaced many parts, even motors but never got rid of it. When I raised a support case, nobody was aware of it and now you are using this to sell the next version.
2:50 Did I just see an LTT screwdriver
The whole extruder seup, nozzle replacement and the ABL is so awesome that I would have considered this an April fools joke if this video was released on 1st April. Amazing features but the price is heart shattering :/
Why? its just 200eur/10% more then last mk3 totally expectable and logical price if you ask me.
@@Kamtar34 yeah but the upgrade kit is hard to swallow if you have the mk3s+ its nearly the cost of the printer you already have and you have to print all the printed parts yourself...
@@ghost501ifythe full upgrade is going to replace most of your printer. I don't see the cost as that bad, considering what you get.
@@rembrantsworkshop With all the parts you replace on a full upgrade, you might end up buying some aditional cloned parts from China for about 200$ (if Aliexpress has a sale) and end up having a mk3s+ clone (with original bondtech and e3d parts) and a mk4... It seems the full upgrade mostly keep the bed, psu, frame, rods and bearings. Everything else changes (or can be printed a second time yourself).
Nab brother, 800 quid is an absolute steal for a machine like this
This made my day!!!
Thank you Prusa ! You made my day 😅
Wow. Looks nice. I would have liked a coreXYprinter coming out of Prusa. The Bed slinger is getting a little old. Don't know if it is worth buying at this point.
I think they would argue that the XL (and maybe a shorter version based on the one they use in the Pod system) is their competitor in that space. Lets be real, the Switchwire on the Voron side shows what can be done with good software and quality mechanical's on a bed slinger arch. At the more or less 200mm3 (8 inch cubed for us USAians XD ) bed slingers are still capable of hanging with Core XY. You are still just under the mass fractions where inertia is going to be a deal stopper on Y accelerations deceleration (especially if your doing input shaper control and active ring detection). Im more curious if they just went to 0.9 motors on ever Cartesian axis or if they have some secret sauce in the stepper coil structure as well. Heres hoping that the integrated accelerometer and strain gauge in the hotend/extruder becomes the new standard in the competitor space. Control Software, Extruder consistency and slicers are the biggest areas to be improved in the home market, and anything that bumps that up is to be appreciated
Everyone seems to think that Prusa will die due to a certain other manufacturer (Bamboo Lab). However, I would personally choose this over one of their printers due to the open source nature and the proven reliability. A corexy with faster printing would of course be preferable, but that is also the only advantage I see with the Bamboo printer. And then you would loose the upgradeability from MK3 -> MK4.
Once you get Bambu, you'll never want to go back, believe me
You vote with your wallet, and I vote Prusa. Also the Bamboo is too noisy.
@@Rakietomania if you just want to print stuff then you are probably correct. But as soon as you need to replace some major component you will probably not say that.
@@TheCarLovingSwede Thats not true. The support from bambu is good and you can get replacement parts easily. Bambu Slicer is based on the Prusa slicer. When you want to use the Prusa slicer (as a base) you need to agree to the open source nature as well. So its not laging there either. But you are of course free to choose your fav Printer.
@@PerMejdal No , The bambu lab printers have a silent mode , which is insanely quiet. I highly believe that the promised loudness of the prua mk4 is in some sort of Silent mode as well and not while printing at 100% speed. If so let me know. Would be outstanding.
Yes, you finally did it 🎉😊❤
Loving this !
Please, send me this to poland to test
This is without a doubt a very good and solid printer. But also what I was afraid would come form Prusa next.. Another small iteration on a bedslinger. I feel like anything less then Bambulabs corexy machines is going to loose out. This would have been a banger release pre x1c and p1p :p I was hoping for a Prusa version that also could compete on price.
Exactly - old tech with some new features is not worth what they're asking. Shame.
Hmm, I wouldn't exactly call it a "small" iteration... Feels like not much of the MK3 is left, except for the general look.
@@sirseriously Exactly, I don't get it at all. The price is rediculously high and features nothing new at all really. I have both a mk3 and X1C, guess which now sits un-used.
I believe the MK4 is at the stage at which the MK3 should have been a long time ago. The next evolution from Bambu Lab is maybe already waiting around the corner. Bet it will take a long time before the MK5 comes out. They are behind badly imo. Yet its great to see a lifesign from them.
@@slamoto2 But that's part of the problem imo. Would you rather see manufacturers go the Creality path, bringing out new, barely tested models constantly just to sate your dopamine hunger and pull money out of your pocket? Or would you rather have them release a machine that combines everything, is well-tested before releasing it into the world, and even provides upgrades for users of the previous model? Easy choice for me.
The automatic calibrations is amazing and one of the best improvementals Would be good to know if the printer geometry will be the same. In case someone uses some Mods with Aluminium Extrusion Profils.
Nothing beats a Prusa!
Not for that price. First time with the mk3s... Sure. Well made solid first time machine. But now that I know what I'm doing with my 2 other non prusa bed slingers.... I'm look at building a voron with idex vs anything prusa.
I got a P1P and its by far the best ive ever had. Especially when you dont want to tinker with your printer. But since you want to build a voron it seems like you like it. Have fun :)!
