Prusa · FDM CoreXY toolchanger · 2023
Prusa XL (5-tool) review
A true toolchanger. Five independent hotends means five materials with almost no purge waste — the only sane way to do heavy multi-material work.
Best for: Serious multi-material and small-batch production.

What we don't
- Costs as much as a used car
- Not enclosed as standard
- Tool calibration takes patience

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a peak that no printer holds across a whole part, so use it for comparison and don't expect it in real print times.
