Printago support Tested

The Original Prusa MK4 is an i3-style Cartesian bed-slinger with a 250 × 210 × 220 mm build volume. It introduced the Nextruder, a planetary-geared direct-drive extruder with a load-cell-based automatic bed leveling system that eliminates manual first-layer calibration, while firmware-level input shaper and pressure advance reduce ringing and improve dimensional accuracy at speed. It suits hobbyists and professionals who want a proven, open-source platform with broad material support and a strong upgrade path.

Pros

  • Load-cell automatic bed leveling for consistent first layers
  • Nextruder direct-drive extruder handles flexible and exotic filaments well
  • Input shaper and pressure advance included in firmware
  • Broad material compatibility including PA, PC, composites, and flex

Cons

  • Single 40 mm axial fan limits cooling on complex overhangs versus newer models
  • 16 mm³/s volumetric flow rate is modest compared to current high-flow alternatives
  • No NFC; Wi-Fi requires an optional add-on module
