What's new in XL+

The XL received a number of important upgrades that make the user experience and print quality better, speeds faster, and operation easier and even more reliable.

Faster calibration
The XL aligned its toolheads with a mechanical pin - accurate, but lengthy. The XL+ uses a dedicated electronic sensor to align toolheads fully automatically.
Faster printing
The XL+ prints 10–15% faster than the XL. On a 60-hour prop print, that's roughly eight hours back - one more evening in the workshop, or one more batch per day in production.
New Belts for Better Quality
The new GT1.5 belts also bring a visible improvement. They help make fine repeating artifacts less noticeable, which is especially useful on the large, smooth surfaces the XL is often used to print.
Cooling rebuilt for long runs
New, improved cooling on individual toolheads leads to perfect print quality and outstanding overhang performance - your prints will look better and you'll need fewer supports. Plus, there are additional fans and heatsinks to cool down the electronics.
A Nozzle Wiper
At the start of every print, every nozzle is cleaned using the nozzle wiper - more precise pre-print calibration, better looking prints.
A reliable firmware foundation
Every feature we shipped across the whole Prusa lineup since the XL launched is in the XL+ out of the box.
Dwarf board serial number

Not all Dwarf boards are upgrade-compatible

Please check the Dwarf board serial number before placing an order

Locate the Dwarf board serial number on all your toolheads to find out whether it's compatible with this upgrade.

If your Dwarf board is marked with a number 07 or lower, it is necessary to replace it with a new one before upgrading. Dwarf boards marked with 08 and higher are compatible with this upgrade.
