About the MK4 and MK4S

The Prusa MK4 (2023) and MK4S (2024) are Prusa Research's flagship i3 bedslinger printers. Key features: the Nextruder direct-drive extruder, input shaping for higher speeds, automatic first layer calibration and load cell-based mesh bed levelling. Both run 1.75 mm filament and work with the standard 235 x 210 x 250 mm build volume.
