Original Prusa MK4 3D Printer kit
Starting on June 28th and running through July 16th, 9AM CET, 2024, with each Original Prusa MK4 kit you will receive a $100 voucher for future purchases (14 days after the purchase).
Starting with 3D printing has never been easier. Take the printer out of the box, plug it in, let it run a quick selftest and start printing! With automatic calibration, always-perfect first layer, one-click printing and many other useful features, the MK4 is the best choice for your home, workshop, or company. All print profiles and configurations are in-house tested ensuring that the MK4 effortlessly delivers top-quality 3D prints at a press of a single button from the very start.
With an optional enclosure (available also in bundle with printer) and multi-material upgrade, you can expand your experience as you go.
Original Prusa MK4 2024
Every Original Prusa 3D printer receives long-term support for years after launch. Not just small bugfixes, but major firmware and hardware upgrades that bring useful new features.
In the first 12 months of the MK4's run, we've published several upgrades:
- Input Shaper and Pressure Advance for two times faster printing
- MMU3 for multi-material printing
- Fast network printing with Prusa Connect
- Stealth Mode
- Stuck filament detection
- Cancel Object in the printer's menu
- Enabled touch control support
- ...and many other smaller tweaks and improvements across the board

Let's Build a 3D Printer
Take advantage of the unique opportunity to build your own Original Prusa MK4 - it’s easier than you might think!
Our 3D printers originally started as assembly kits and we kept this option all these years because the kits are still the most popular choice. So, join the hundreds of thousands of makers who have built their 3D printers using our detailed assembly guides! You can even build it with your kid - it’s one of the best STEM projects out there! You will get to know your 3D printer inside out and find out how it works! The assembly is quite easy and requires no soldering because cables are cut to length and ready to be plugged in.

Plug and Print!
With automatic calibration, one-click printing and an always-perfect first layer, the MK4 is the best entry into the world of 3D printing. Its open design, the result of more than 10 years of evolution, ensures easy maintenance and great accessibility. Plus, a detailed handbook guides you through every aspect of the MK4. When you get the assembled printer, simply take it out of the box, plug it in and once it finishes the automatic calibration, you can start printing right away!

Quiet High-Speed Printing
Twice as fast as the MK3S+ and among the fastest desktop printers, the MK4 uses a native implementation of Input Shaper and Pressure Advance technologies to eliminate resonances and optimize filament flow. The result is doubled print speed and beautifully quiet operation, so you can keep the MK4 on your desk and continue working undisturbed. Check out the sub-20-minute Benchy video!

Exceptional Print Quality and Reliability
Speed is nothing without quality and reliability. There's no point in chasing speed records when the prints barely hold together. While the MK4 is twice as fast compared to its predecessor, we put extra care into improving the print quality even further.
The MK4 uses redesigned, more robust plastic parts, thicker 10mm Z-axis rods and new precise 0.9°; stepper motors (0.9°; / step; low inductance) to eliminate Vertical Fine Artifacts on prints. The next-generation extruder (Nextruder) delivers exceptionally good performance especially with extremely steep overhangs up to 15° and easily handles even flexible filaments. The overall precision of the printer ensures you can print parts that fit perfectly together.

Tackle any type of filament
No matter whether your project requires PLA and PETG, or even ASA and carbon-filled filaments, the MK4 can handle them with ease - even flex! With its direct drive Nextruder, printing flexible materials is easier than ever before and you can create amazing flexible projects without breaking a sweat (or your printer). Most materials do not require an enclosed printing space, but for those that do, there's a dedicated Original Prusa Enclosure (see below).

Perfect First Layer Out of the Box
Forget Live Adjust Z or manually adjusted screws. The MK4 lays down an absolutely pristine first layer every time. It doesn't matter what kind of print surface you use, the MK4's Loadcell sensor will always precisely measure the offset without being thrown off by reflective or textured surfaces. The sensor doesn't rely on visual data, offering unparalleled precision on every kind of print sheet out there!

Wi-Fi and Prusa Connect
The Original Prusa MK4 is equipped with a Wi-Fi module and an ethernet port, allowing you to control your printer from anywhere using our secure and encrypted Prusa Connect system. Drop a G-code into your browser window and start the print in mere seconds after the beginning of the upload. Prusa Connect offers a robust set of options, allowing you to schedule your prints, or monitor them remotely via a webcam.

Actively Updated
We publish new updates for our printers even years after release, bringing new, often major features that transform the way you print. The MK3S+ kept receiving firmware updates for more than six years. The Original Prusa MINI received a major Input Shaper update four years after release, which doubled its print speed.

Open design - simple maintenance
Our machines are built to last. We operate a massive print farm with over 700 of our printers running 24/7. This means we design our machines to withstand non-stop operation with minimal downtime. The open “bed-slinger“ design is the result of a 10-year evolution and enables the easiest access to all parts without a lengthy disassembly process. No welded or glued parts, everything can be taken apart with a set of Allen keys.

Designed for Offline Use
The MK4 has been designed for native offline use, so if you don’t want to use the network services, you don’t have to. The printer can be configured completely without internet access and there are no drawbacks or limitations. The Wi-Fi module can be easily unplugged for environments that require the highest level of security.

The Nextruder & 32-bit Platform
The MK4 is built on the internally developed 32-bit embedded platform and features our next-generation extruder, the Nextruder.

We do not collect information about your prints or your printer’s surroundings. We believe that no matter whether you’re developing a new-generation space shuttle, or just printing silly things for your friends, no organization should be interested in this information. This is why the MK4 can be found in top companies, universities and research institutions around the world.
Our printers are primarily designed for completely offline operation with no drawbacks or limitations. You have the option to share data with our tech support and connect your printer to the Prusa Connect remote print management system, but only if you choose to do so.
Our code is open source, so you can always check that we aren’t cheating or stealing your files, even when you’re connected to the internet. See where our printers are used.
