The launch of the Prusa XL was delayed and problematic.
My own difficulties were documented in a previous video.
I’ve now modified and upgraded the printer to the latest spec, and thankfully it is now working much better.
In this video, I take you through the process and identify where the XL excels and struggles versus the competition.
Thanks very much to Shane for his patience and support.
This printer was purchased with my own money.
All opinions expressed are my own.
