Prusa Details XL Roadmap, Prices, And Toolheads
Prusa Research announced a $200 price reduction for the assembled Original Prusa XL, positioning it as the most affordable multi‑material tool‑changer in its lineup. The XL retains its active tool‑changing architecture, supporting up to five full heads, while the newer INDX system uses a passive approach for up to eight materials. Prusa also unveiled plans for 2026 toolhead extensions, including a liquid‑material head for silicone and a pick‑&‑place head for automated component insertion. These developments aim to transform the XL from a printer into a modular manufacturing workstation.
