Prusa XL review: A big 3D printer with a few big compromises

Bigger isn't necessarily better, but when more volume comes along with increased quality and a load of new features, it's hard to say no. Those new features include a print bed with selective heating, and the ability to simultaneously work with up to five different kinds of plastics, not just different colors.

And, yes, it's bigger too, but all that comes at a significant cost: $1,999 to start, or double that if you want it pre-assembled with tall the features. Is it worth the cost, and the two year wait since the thing was unveiled? That depends on how serious your printing needs are.
