Add-ons
MMU3
MK4S can be enhanced by an optional add-on that allows your single-extruder printer to print with up to 5 colors (materials) at the same time. Load the five colors of your choice, slice the object in PrusaSlicer, start the print, and let the MMU3 do the rest.
With all-new plastic parts, reinforced metal parts and firmware built from the ground up, the MMU3 delivers stunning multi-material prints faster and more efficiently than its competitors. With 25-35 seconds per filament change and optimized nozzle cleaning, the prints are beautifully fast and reliable, and you don’t have to worry about cleaning piles of wasted filament scraps from around your printer all the time.
The MMU3 is up to three times more efficient in managing filament waste compared to other single-nozzle multi-material systems, bringing substantial cost savings.
The high-flow nozzle in the MK4S allows for much faster printing. However, when using the MMU3, the standard nozzle makes much more sense. Why? While the MMU3 works fine with a high-flow nozzle, the increased volumetric flow results in higher filament waste during printing. In other words, the MMU3 delivers the best performance, the same speed and the highest efficiency (lowest waste) when combined with the standard nozzle in both MK4 and MK4S.
So, if you order a standalone MMU3 for the MK4S you will receive it along with the standard nozzle. In the MK4S/MMU3 bundle, you will receive both nozzles in the package - the standard one as well as the high-flow nozzle. For assembled MK4S in a bundle with MMU3, the standard nozzle will be pre-installed on the printer as the default.
Enclosure
If you want to print more advanced technical materials on your MK4S, you’ll find the Enclosure really handy. It stabilizes the printer environment, eliminates drafts and odors, and makes the printer even more silent.
An enclosure is not necessary for every type of filament. Most of common materials, such as PLA, PETG, and even some advanced ones (like PCCF) do not require an enclosure. However, once you need to print with more advanced materials, such as ASA, ABS, PC and similar, the Enclosure is the best option to achieve increased temperatures in a stabilized environment, plus, the optional high-performance filtration system will take care of ultra-fine particles.
The Original Prusa Enclosure is available with a range of useful add-ons, such as the Advanced filtration system with HEPA filter, LED strip, Mechanical Lock or Fire Suppression System. You can add these addons manually to the shopping cart. Find out more in the Enclosure Addons section on our e-shop.

Warranty note
Consumable parts, such as print sheets (smooth, textured, etc.), are not covered by the warranty since their coatings are expected to deteriorate over time, unless the failure is due to a defect in materials or workmanship. Cosmetic damage, which includes, but is not limited to, scratches, dents, cracks, or other aesthetic damage, is also not covered. Only sheets defective upon delivery are covered by the warranty.
The Original Prusa MK4S is recognised for its consistently reliable performance. Independent tests have confirmed its excellent print quality (crowned "The Best Printer for Quality” by CNET), accuracy, speed, and ease of use. In TechRadar words: "If you're looking for the best in print quality, reliability, and future-proofing, the Original PRUSA MK4S is a top choice." It’s also the first consumer 3D printer to receive UL GREENGUARD Certification, meeting their strict safety standards.
Built to Last
We design and build the printers not just for you, but also for us! We operate a massive 700-machine 3D print farm consisting entirely of our 3D printers. They run 24/7 and produce parts for other printers. The first test our printers need to endure is our print farm. Before we launched the MK4, the testing units accumulated over 1.000.000 print hours on our farm.
Check out the extensive behind-the-scenes look at our factory!
Developed & Build in the EU
The Original Prusa MK4S, like its predecessors, is designed and built in Prague, Czech Republic. We’re aiming to use as many locally sourced parts as possible. We develop and manufacture our own filaments, resins, electronics and much more - all in the heart of Europe!
