Just ordered mine. I appreciate their mindset regarding open source, repairability, and their dedication to providing great customer support. Thx!
I assembled my MK4 kit a couple of weeks ago and I'm extremely happy with it. With the latest release candidate with the input shaping and pressure advance it really rocks! One small observation: the included USB drive is a tight fit in the reader - as demonstrated in this video. Ordinary USB drives fit normally.
I noticed that too
I love my MK3s and now I finally have the budget to buy any kind of printer I want. I am pretty sure that I am going for an MK4 and MMU3 at some point, since I loved my MMU2s and MK3 combo. However, I will probably wait till you guys have implemented all the features you have as selling point atm. Input shaping, touch screen etc. Keep up the good work prusa. I am so proud and glad that you guys still go down the OpenSource and DIY route, despite of the problems that it might bring compared to making everything as cheap and mass produced as possible.
Have my MK4 running for a week now (converted xl order). Love the UI, wifi and auto bed leveling compared to my MK3s+. Looking forward to the mmu3.
when did you order? I'm still waiting for mine
@@janvb7117 day 2 xl order conversion preassembled version
you will love it
Congratulations. Enjoy your printer
I've still got an MK2s, and I considered looking into an upgrade when BambuLabs released the P1P, but after seeing this, I'd likely want the MK4, mainly because I know the community is great, and the support will be excellent as well.
Same for me
And you can get all the spare parts for years to come
I already got my MK4 (converted XL preorder), and I'm amazed! Auto Bed Leveling works like magic, I can re-use my Mk3S+ print sheets, and it'll receive squash ball feet soon. It is not perfect (no printer is), but it is even closer than my Mk3S+ before. Very good work, jo! ☺👍
I'd say don't use squash balls. Put it on a rubber mat and a large stone plate. Done. If you put it on squash balls please don't complain about bad surface finish.
@@REDxFROG i second this, squash ball are bad, put it on a concrete slab, it will remove/reduce vibration. most printer simply transfer their vibrations through what they are standing. I found that the hard way when I bought the "table" for my vCore 3.1 500mm
I put mine on abig concrete slab (it cost 7 bucks or so), and it prints perfectly on it.
@@mophie6941what about Sorbothane feet? I have some for my MK3S and was thinking about adding some to my mk4
Love my Mk4! Prints look amazing, best printer experience I've had by far. Just a couple items I noticed around the filament sensor (may just be me): - Not getting notifications in prusa connect when filament runs out - If you remove the filament when the prompt comes up asking if the unload was successful, it looks like it resets the filament sensor calibration (making it basically not work)
Great! I eagerly await my kit. Should be shipping soon :-)
My MK4 is ordered and I can‘t wait for it to arrive! Just have to be patient.
I've had my MK4 set up for about a week and I absolutely love it. Input shaping works great, the printer is fast and prints at excellent quality. The new screen and interface is a big improvement. Seriously considering upgrading my MK3S+
Ordered the Kit, also printed parts to make a Color theme! Looking forward to it!
Just assembled mine, about to run my first print. Can't wait!!
I'm looking forwards to getting my MK4, which will be my first Prusa machine, soon. I want to see how it works next to my X1-Carbon. I also want to make that cool looking guitar!
Bambu and Prusa both make incredible printers for sure!
thanks for your efforts into this 3D world and open source without it we where not so far as today sir hollandica says hi
I’m excited for my MK4 upgrade kit!
I think I will order the MK4 kit in the coming weeks. I really want to build it and make the jump from an Ender 3 V2 to the MK4. The Prusa team and community seem amazing, and I truly appreciate Prusa's efforts to focus on their customers.
You will NOT be disappointed in that jump. I did that last year to the Mk3S+ and it was amazing and easy to transition. You'll find out quickly why this brand is so popular. It's one of those printers that "just works every time".
Do it! It is a Product for us and not to tinker all the time! But keep your Ender an Mod as hard as you like!
@@CharlieBasta Yep, all I ever do is put lube on the rails and that's it
Be prepared to wait. Seemingly long backorder
Im honestly going to do the same my V2 is haunted with issues out the ass and I'm so done with the bs from creality
Excited for this printer!
How does the auto bed leveling work when there's a blob of melted filament on the nozzle tip?
Can't wait to get mine.
I can't wait to build my MK4!
Loving mine so far 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
lol I am amazed that you had to make this video but I have seen 2 youtubers mess up the filament sensor calibration in their live streams so far. 😀
Can’t wait to get my upgrade kit
I have the mini and I love it. I plan to upgrade to MK4. I'm still waiting until the MMU3 is available. I want to print multi colors.
Would love to see a new mini as well!
The Prusa MK4 is looking great! I ordered the kit as soon as it released. Unfortunately, I have a few concerns over the load cell sensor bed leveling, I heard that users can see holes in their bed sheets within the first few prints. Is this problem going to affect the quality of prints in any way, and are there any solutions to prevent the nozzle from leaving damage on the bed?
Use satin or texture sheet. Nozzle can leave small marks in smooth PEI sheet after Z homing (not with MBL), but it is not so big issue at all.
I'm looking forward for my MK4 kit! Sadly it's going to take a while till it's getting shipped, because I was to slow with ordering
I ordered my full build within 3 hours of announcement and still have nothing. Frustrating but will be worth the wait I’m sure.
Great new update!
I have my XL set up and working, and MK4 on order (2nd Day) Getting to know my XL, I wish I had ordered another 1 or 2.
Well done thanks for a great printer.
Super, bude Mk4 stavebnice s boxem Enclosure za nejakou zvyhodnenou cenu? Diky
Is there any way to setup the LED status light on the front to go from White to Green progressively during the print until its all green when finished just like a Rivian R1S does when charging?
My printer makes very loud noise during printing. like a saw. Return Label is in progress since 1 week. :(
Any updates on the input shaper?
I've been very happy with my Prusas (i3 Mk3, i3 MK3S, i3 MK3S+) and can't wait before picking up the MK4...but I'm going to wait for the input shaper. Also, waiting to hear why Uncle Jesse's MK4 was having issues. More than happy to support you guys/an awesome company...but if these are early warning signs or slipping quality/cutting corners...I may have to reconsider.
3.5 kit pre order as well and ffs. The problems are stacking and the support isn't
In Uncle Jesse's case the problem was switched cable connection between print fan and extruder fan. The MK4 was printing and not cooling the heatsing... so the nozzle was clogged. It can be clearly seen in his videos of first layer prints.
@@xhobv02 Jup. The Hotend-Cooling-Fan is not running, when it should. 100% User Error.
Uncle Jesse was just user error. As a „experienced“ printer operator not checking the Fans is just bad.
@@uhu4677 what happens to all sensor that check everything for the first time? It's a mimic? Or they don't check the fans?
Did you say 60 minutes to make that small print on the website says only takes 20 to do a benchy boat and that's a lot more detail hope you can help thanks.
It may not be as fancy as the printers coming from Bambu, but I really wish this had come out in January when I purchased my P1P. I would have bought the Mk4 kit instead. :(
Why MK4 over P1P? I loved my old MK3 but it hasn't been used since i got my P1P and it was pretty feature complete from the factory (i.e input shaping, speed)
@@bennetb01 Prusa MK4 is not as loud compared to the P1P from what I have heard. But some say MK4 is louder than the MK3s. Also Prusa has a better track record for support and you support the 3d printer community. You can also use V6 nozzles with an adapter. But the P1P is also a great printer and cheaper.
Coming from the mk3s+ the mk4 didnt wow me to make me regret buying my X1CC. You arent missing anything.
I'm selling my p1p. I'm tired of not getting constant quality and sizes. Everytime I'm off
@@chadfarmer7695 I will buy your defective p1p for a very low price, cause as you mention, it have problems. But relax now you will buy your dream mk4. If I offer you $200 then you will need just $1000! That's a great deal my friend!
Hello. Love to have one. Where are the damn kits?
Thank you 🙏
Very cool printer indeed
Can’t wait to get my replacement! My first MK printer 😬🤘
Quite unfortunate that you had to go through that trouble. You looked like you were having a lot of fun when it was printing on the wood! Hopefully things get better from here on out :)
When does the XL ship???????????????????????????????????
Great great josef👌👌
How do I make sure the square is perfectly square? I don't want slanted prints.
1:54 I still can’t get over how fast the Z axis moves compared to my MK2.5. I know, I know, it’s not a Voron, but whatever, it still looks unnatural on a Prusa. Was the MK3 able to move this fast as well?
It's really nothing unusual but most of the time limited by software. To avoid crashes, errors...maybe even injuries. Lol
@@REDxFROG when I’m jogging the Z on my MK2.5 it doesn’t move anywhere near that fast. Whether it’s the physical capability or just in firmware I don’t know, but they clearly changed something for the MK4.
mk3 isnt even close to these Z speeds, its really neat on the mk4 i love to just watch them fast moving axis
I'm and ender guy but bravo on this printer, seems like a great product.
Amazing
can it print metal
Prusa is Super 👍
How did you guys get the mbl to work? For me when i slice my files with pruca slicer it doesn't level at the beginning.
If you are facing some technical issues, please let our support team know. The fastest would be our 24/7 live chat which is in the right bottom side of the eshop. We will give you helping hand 🙂
The fan test should make you identify which is spinning. People got their printer with fans swapped which passes all tests. 😬
Especially a certain gentleman on KZhead had exactly the problem. Has therefore sent back his printer, although the problem would have been solved quickly. Simply design the plugs so that they cannot be interchanged. Can't be that difficult, can it? Why do they always save money in the wrong places? Same with the bearings.
@@Neo1983m someone who cant connect 2 fans correctly with perfect diagram and instructions shouldnt even touch 3d printer, cant be that difficult to follow the manual. mk3 has shit bearings tho i agree, mine started to sound really sad after a year. i believe mk3 had the test for correct fan connection
@@adamvanek8005 The youtuber purchased it fully assembled. Prusa connected them wrong during their manufacturing assembly.
@@adamvanek8005 He dont assemble itself. The printer was manufactured assembled. He don't anything wrong. You understand?
How unlucky! I already have a Prusa I3 and I don't need one more! 😭😊 (That's really cool!)
Own a Prusa Mini+, Prusa MKI3S+, and now the MK4, Converted from XL , Shipped 1st day given, received and printing by the last day given to ship!!! The First layer Level is fantastic! It allows me to switch between print sheets without adjustment!, Also got the nozzle adapter, and will give it a try soon. Love the 32 bit LCD with the color screen and more/better info. Haven't had a need to make use of the UI for info on the screen. Will be glad when the announced firmware updates are out!! Also having issues with the PrusaConnect...restarting, transfer speed, etc. Chat informed me "it is under development." SO for now, using the USB stick.
Leider Lange Lieferzeit für den MK4 Kit ...... jetzt schon 13 Wochen, um zu erfahren laut Shipping List , dass es wahrscheinlich noch 2 Wochen länger dauert, Also 15 Wochen fast 4 Monate
Id like a prusa but the mini and mk4 are too small...the XL is huge and i cant afford such an expensive tool changer. I need a coreXY enclosed possibly heated. Speed is great but not at the expense of quality and reliability. I get it you are holding onto your existing customers but why not go after the better quality of corexy? And a more commonly wanted size like 280-300mm cubed?
I would love to follow this guide. But where is my MK4. Lol.
I have to admit I'm bitter there is more info on the MK4 than there is the multi nozzle XL
Just received my Prusa MK4. There are no instructions on how to assemble and connect the spool holders to the printer. The two horizontal parts simply do not "click" into place.
Hi Roger. We are sorry for this. The instructions can be found on the next section of the online assembly guide. help.prusa3d.com/guide/7-y-carriage-heatbed-assembly_438310#439941 If you haven't been able to solve it, please contact our Technical Support Team, and we will help you. help.prusa3d.com/article/customer-support_2287
@@Prusa3D Thank you for the link. But I have to point out that I purchased the assembled Prusa, not the kit. The link you provided goes to the KIT assembly instructions. If there are parts that need to be assembled for the already assembled kit, then some minimal instructions ought to be provided with the assembled printer, either in print form or some link. The printer does come with a printed 3D Printing handbook, and that is where I would expect the spool holder assembly instructions would be, but it's not there.
Hi Roger. Yes, you are right. The instructions for the parts that should be assembled/finished by Assembled Printer owners should be in the 3D Printing Handbook too. I am passing the feedback, and I hope we can add this info there soon. Apologies for the inconveniences Roger.
Will the Prusa Mk4 work ok in the Prusa Enclosure?
Yes it will. Just the easy release power supply system is not available yet. I have mine printing in the enclosure for a week now. LCD mounts were recently released. LCD cable is a bit on the short side though but it fits.
😊 I will order one
Myslím, že jste zaspali co se trhu týče
I just bought my mk3s+ in February
The prusa i3 printer I bought ~80 days ago doesn't do this! It's like a different printer. Oh yeah, you suddenly released the MK4, without announcing it like the XL, so I just bought a MK3 just before that and it's price dropped almost 20%. But hey, I can upgrade for 650 euros. Yes, I'm still mad about that.
Great and helpful video for beginners. Good job 👍👍👍
Got my MK4 a month ago. Its an amazing printer for my personal use. Still not the kind of workhorse that my vorons are.
To the proud MK4 owners out there: How are the noise level compared to the MK3? I heard mk4 doesn't have stealth mode??
Correct. Mk4 doesn't have stealth Mode. My printer is loud as an Chainsaw. It goes back and will replaced but other Mk4´s sound level is a bit more silent as mk3s+. But do you have new and good quality bearings in your mk3s+ he is quieter.
I assembled my kit yesterday and it works perfectly so far, as long as you print locally or using Prusa's own software. BUT: I'm a huge fan of Octoprint and have been using it with my Mk3S+ for years. I'm comfortable with it, it gives me loads of features including a webcam and a vast selection of plugins. But the RPi which I used with the Mk3 will not work with the Mk4. It sees and recognises it but will not pass data. I've tried different cables and computers but the problem remains and is clearly the printer. I'm not the only one with this problem - there are reports of it everywhere. @Prusa3D: You need to fix this!
Hi Manek. Please contact our Support Team with the details of the issue. help.prusa3d.com/article/customer-support_2287
@@Prusa3DThank you for your offer of support - but I seem to have fixed it. It was due to the setup for the Octoprint for Mk4 being subtly different than for the Mk3S+: it's not a straight swap. So I re-installed the Octoprint image from scratch, having taken a backup of the original config, imported the config file and it connected fine. Might be worth seeing if you can replicate that and putting into the Octoprint support article. Thanks again.
Hi Manek. We are happy to know it is solved. If you need more support, you know where to find us. help.prusa3d.com/article/customer-support_2287
What is mean in Prusa - i3 ?
The i3 stands for iteration 3. The current form of bed slinger is the third iteration of Prusa printers. The MK4 means it's the 4th major update of the i3 series
Good Job Józek !
Why is your printer so quiet and no rattling noise?
Mine doesn't have rattling noises, none of the 6 I have do. Lol.
@@Gremlivia Unfortunately, Prusa does not seem to use Misumi bearings anymore, but cheap ones from China. Very sad.
Rattling on the bed? Mine mk3s+ had this out of the Box, Had to grease the bearings, came dry
Change them with drylin bushings.They turn the printer into a ninja.
Personally didn’t like my mk3s+ Is the mk4 worth? The VFX was way too much for my liking.
How do I turn input shaping?
You can’t yet. A firmware update will be released to enable both preassure advanced and input shaping. I’m guessing a month or so.
@@mikajurvanen8219 or 2 years as file upload via network ;)
@@aaqu2232 yeah, I hear and read that the wireless transfer speed is a joke. Guess they’ll adress that in a firmware update aswell. Luckily firmware is updatable with the USB :). Hope a lot of those is fixed once I get my MK4 Kit
🧡
I am absolutely upgrading my MK3S+to the 3.5 as soon as I'm able... dunno if I'll go directly to MK4 from there, or step up to the 3.9 first. I love how Prusa industries is so customer friendly in their products, with backwards compatibility, upgrade options, and support for old models.
No touch screen?
the screen is a touch screen but it is currently disabled I believe they are still developing the firmware for it.
@@kailin1496 I see. Hopefully they plan on using the knob and touch together. I have a bigtreetech TFT that has marlin and touch mode, and I wish it allowed the knob as well as the touch at the same time.
But where is the hat Josef?
Mister Prusa you and all of Team, Content and Products are amazing!
Well the month is almost over. Are the kits being shipped out?
where's the firmware update at for input shaping?
rika ze je prilozenej filament ale na twiteru se omlouval ze zadnej nebude
Bude u predobjednavek, nez se zacnou posilat kity. Byla to chyba v popisu, tak je moznost takhle ziskat filament zdarma. Jinak ke slozenym tiskarnam byl prilizeny filament vzdy.
Caro signor PRUSA sono Vladimiro non so se mai leggerai questo messaggio ma ci voglio provare,io al mio malgrado ho acquistato una mk3s 10 giorni prima che uscisse la nuova mk 4 allo stesso prezzo della mia. Ora ti lascio immaginare la mia rabbia soprattutto quando ho visto che per aggiornarla con il buono dovevo spendere altri 500€.vi ho contattato via mail e mi è stato detto che voi non fate cambi e quindi mi è stato consigliato di fare il reso per poi riacquistare la mk4. Infatti così ho fatto ma dopo 3 settimane che la mia stampante è arrivata in sede non avendo nessuna notizia ho mandato una mail per chiedere spiegazioni e mi hanno risposto che la stampante è in sede in attesa di essere ispezionata ed attendere il rimborso. Ora voglio dire se secondo voi sia regolare una tempistica del genere anche perché i tempi di spedizione della mk4 si aggirano alle 6/7 settimane. Credo che ci sia qualcosa che non funziona anche perché io l’ho pagata subito. Grazie e scusami
"You'll see the load cell Z adjustment when it prints" Didn't show it.
Trochę szkoda, że ciągle nie wprowadzono ładniejszego wyświetlacza z obsługą dotykiem 😢
we really need an update to make the touch screen work as touch screen xD
Beautiful G-Shock bruv.
Does the MK4 still fits in a IKEA lack table encloser?
wish I could afford it
Should of been a corexy. Call it an XL mini with a 250mm bed.
Please make more videos on Prusa MK1…
😮
Prusa Mini 2?
Im missing a feature you promised when you sold it to me.... input shaper
Tiskárna je super, jen je škoda že není v češtině, neumí poznat že došel filament a nefunguje dotyk trysky o podložku. Tryska při testování ohýbá podložku.
I feel Prusa will be the next NOKIA or blackberry end style
ty si z česka?
Nice haircut Josef! No need to dress up for us!
🤣
Interesting to see no silicone sock, slightly more convenient to clean
Who's this guy again?
Dnes si ma poriadne nasral chlapče. Chcel som si objednať MK4 Kit, za 889€ a k tomu balíček skrinky, ku ktorému bola cena 210€. Avšak, keď som na ten balíček klikol, k cene 889€ nepripočítalo 210€, ale 310€ a výsledná suma nebola 1099€, ako mala byť, ale 1199€. Kontaktoval som preto podporu, s tým, že trvám na cene 210€, za balíček skrinky, keďže je v ponuke jasne uvedená.A poslal som im aj printscren, s cenou 210€, aby nemohli povedať, že si vymýšľam. Vieš, akú chujovinu mi ako odpoveď zabili??? Že údajne mám problémy s prehliadačom a cena balíčka skrinky je k MK4 Kit 310€. To mňa ale nezaujíma, mňa zaujíma, aká cena bola v ponuke uvedená a tá mala byť aj dodržaná. Ja totiž nemôžem za to, že tvoj admin, ktorý stránku spravuje, je manták a cena za balíček skrinky 210€ je uvedená tam, kde byť nemá. Potrebuješ sa takto zhadzovať Pruša a prichádzať o zákazníkov??? Kvôli posratej stovke, a kvôli tomu, že admin, ktorý stránku spravuje, je manták, si tvoji ľudia, zo zákazníkov robia piču, vraj majú problémy s prehliadačom. A len tak mimochodom, skúšal som to niekoľkokrát a vždy mi ku Kitu za baliček skrinky vyhodilo cenu 210€ a nie 310€.
I have a mk4 and only 6 months old. Not working at all. I have sent the error message number to them on several occasions with no definate response. They have asked for videos of the problem but I do not have video facilities to carry out this procedure. I bought this machine as a hobbiest not as a profession. I am willing to dump the machine and take a loss as I cannot get anywhere or satisfation from this company.
