Prusa MK4S
The Original Prusa MK4S is a refined i3-style Cartesian bed-slinger sharing the MK4’s 250 × 210 × 220 mm build volume but with two major upgrades: a 360-degree high-performance turbine cooling system and a CHT-based high-flow nozzle that raises volumetric flow from 16 to 24 mm³/s, enabling roughly 50% faster print speeds on PLA and PETG. The Nextruder v2 uses a 4:1 gear ratio with ground spur gears and a hardened steel drive shaft for improved reliability, and the max nozzle temperature reaches 300 °C. NFC support simplifies Wi-Fi setup via the Prusa app, and existing MK4 owners can upgrade with a low-cost kit.
Pros
- 360-degree turbine cooling supports overhangs up to 75 degrees without supports
- 24 mm³/s high-flow nozzle delivers roughly a 50% speed increase over the MK4
- NFC-assisted Wi-Fi setup and Prusa app integration
- Affordable upgrade path from the MK4
Cons
- Same 250 × 210 × 220 mm build volume as the MK4; no increase in print area
- Enclosure sold separately for ABS, ASA, and PC printing
- Higher price than the MK4 for new buyers
