Included nozzle

High-flow Prusa brass CHT nozzle, 0.4 mm

Prusa lists 250 × 210 × 220 mm. The official table also lists a 0.4 mm high-flow brass CHT nozzle, 290 °C maximum nozzle temperature and 120 °C maximum heatbed temperature.

Automatic first-layer calibration

Yes

The product page says first-layer calibration is fully automatic through the Loadcell sensor. If the first layer is still uneven or does not adhere, use the model-applicable checks rather than immediately changing Z height.

MMU3 nozzle guidance

MMU3 works with the high-flow nozzle, but Prusa documents the standard nozzle as the lower-waste choice with the same speed.

Prusa says MMU3 works with the high-flow nozzle, but documents the standard nozzle as the lower-waste option with the same speed. Confirm the installed nozzle before following a clearing procedure.

01

Hardware and material boundary

The MK4S uses the direct-drive, all-metal Nextruder and a magnetic heatbed with removable PEI spring-steel sheet. Prusa separates directly supported materials from ABS, ASA, HIPS and PA, which the technical table conditions on the Original Prusa Enclosure with filtration.

02

First layer, MMU3 and software

Loadcell provides fully automatic first-layer calibration. MMU3 is the documented multi-material route. It works with the high-flow nozzle, but Prusa identifies the standard nozzle as the lower-waste choice at the same speed. PrusaSlicer, Prusa Connect and the Prusa mobile app are named official workflow tools.

FAQ

Original Prusa MK4S frequently asked questions

Each answer stays within the facts and sources shown on this page.

01What is the Original Prusa MK4S build volume?

Prusa lists 250 × 210 × 220 mm. The official table also lists a 0.4 mm high-flow brass CHT nozzle, 290 °C maximum nozzle temperature and 120 °C maximum heatbed temperature.

02Does MK4S require manual first-layer calibration?

The product page says first-layer calibration is fully automatic through the Loadcell sensor. If the first layer is still uneven or does not adhere, use the model-applicable checks rather than immediately changing Z height.

03Which MK4S nozzle should I use with MMU3?

Prusa says MMU3 works with the high-flow nozzle, but documents the standard nozzle as the lower-waste option with the same speed. Confirm the installed nozzle before following a clearing procedure.
