Five heads are better than one - Prusa XL

Prusa is back with another 3D printer, but this time with 5x the normal amount of heads. With a huge build volume, multiple heads for easy prints, and a new energy-saving design, does Dan think this is the enthusiast 3D printer to rule them all?

"Now if you don't mind, id like to be alone with this thing for a little while". Ah yes Dan, the words of every tech geek right after we open a shiny new gadget.

I hope someone makes that opening joke into a meme that we can use till eternity.😂

[Dynamicdrifting]

Well five heads are better until they disagree 💀

Dan really is such a wholesome presenter. I want to say "comfortable nerd" in the best way possible too.

That's dan strategically avoiding the gummy bear in a natural fashion, as he knows it's probably poisoned.

[ProfessorBear]

"They know who I am talking about" that was funny!

[MrZulkiits]

I just Love Dan "nerding out" over this thing

[Alpha]

best presenter at LTT, simple to the point and very soothing to listen to. Might i say the "Bob Ross" of LTT

[Polemistis]

Dan is by far my favorite host. Everyone has their strengths but I love Dan's take on things. It just resonates.

Worth noting is that at least several months ago, quite a few creators have highlighted issues they've had with the Prusa XL. A lot of updates have happened since then so it's hard to say what the current state of the printer is. Even in Dan's example I can see some ugly layer lines and yeah, some color blending- but it also finished, which at least a couple of months ago wasn't even guaranteed. I really want this printer to succeed, because the toolchanger concept beats out the bambulabs AMS if you're into multicolor/multimaterial printing by being way faster and with significantly less waste (also, some people paid literally $5K+ for their printers and it's unacceptable for those folks to not get the performance they've been expecting). I've also seen some mods for Voron 2.4s from the 3DP community that also look very promising, so in a few years we might have quite a few options out there.

No way he opened up with a head joke 🤣 I'm dead get this man an Oscar

[huntakan]

Finally the brains behind the wan show telling me about heads, let’s go Dan!

[josephrosati]

You’re right Dan, we could all use more head

[I_enjoy_some_things]

YESSSS I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS CERTIFIED DAN THE MAN CLASSIC.

[deathreus]

"You know what you need? More head"
Too right...

[UncleJessy]

Seriously wishing I went with the 5 head option over the basic 1

[Keptains]

Amazing, i would love a full-sized LLT main video on the Prusa XL! No one buys and should buy the single tool head version. The only reason to do so is financial reasons and even then you should get atleast the two-head version in my opinion.

I personaly got the two-head version because i wasnt sure about the investment for the additional ones and because of the hickups they had in the beginning. I can confirm, got my printer a week ago, that i didnt have any of the issues aswell and i never saw parts coming out so beautifully that you dont even really see the layer lines its amazing

Usually i just print "casual" smaller parts which i design myself so honestly its fully overkill for my usecases. But i like to have the option of multi-color and multi-material prints.
Just some examples:
- Print with 1-4x Filaments + water solveable(?) for supports
- Print with 1-4x Filamets + TPU to rubberize the feet/ground area of the part to make it none-slippery
- Multicolorprint with 5x Colors
- Configure backup toolheads so if Head1 runs out of filament Head2 can continou if you have loaded the same filament
- Use different materials for support so its easier to remove
- Use TPU together with some filament to print "in-built membranes" (the button of a remote out of TPU so its flexible and you can press it "thrue")

And probably even more things i cant even think about yet, i love it! :D. Please full LTT Video! Good to show the new stuff from 3D Printers to the masses

[RILDIGITAL]

The Prusa XL sure seems like a game-changer with its massive build volume and five tool heads.

a glimpse of the real Dan at the last seconds of the vid. 🤣
