    One thing I really like about the MK4 over the MK3 when unloading is that the MK3 requires you to push a button and then pull the filament out. The MK4 just does this automatically, and also does a better job of making sure the melted filament on the tip is not causing obstructions during removal. I've had my filament get stuck a few times during unloading on my MK3. Usually because I walk away and come back to a cooled down filament inside the PTFE tube. I think the metal tube on the MK4 fixes all of that.

    Dont forget to say to cut the filament with an angle, I was a complete total newbie, MK4 is my very first printer, and I didn't know why it wouldn't load. Now it works absolutly flawless. Exceptionnal work.

    Please fix the amount that it purges, it’s way too little and the Hall effect sensor can be faulty and doesn’t recognize filament is loaded sometimes so I would have keep removing and inserting filament until it does or I have to recalibrate the sensor, I’m not the only one with this issue. Other than that the printer is great.

    Hey what about adjusting the filament guide roller tension. What Nm should the tension rollers be set to for PLA, PTEG and TPU?

      "change filament" it warm the nozzle, and you can pull the filament. There is only a small amount in the nozzle to purge afterwards, with the new inserted filament

    Even though the XL you announced 2 years ago, the MK4 (announced half a year ago) was released earlier and is receiving much more attention. As an XL user, I'm a bit annoyed. It seems that the XL isn't getting as much attention. There are always "MK4", "MK4 improvements" and "MK4 Tutorial" topics from Prusa. I really feel like the XL is missing out (at least) on promotion similar to how you promote the MK4.

      Probably lots of people are getting a Mk 4 as their first printer, so these tip videos make sense for newer users.
      Hopefully there will be a variety of other content, like a a walkthrough of the MMU3. 🙏

      As I non user I'm annoyed too. The XL was pushing boundaries and something to get excited about. The MK4 is just the mk3 with some shinier bells, nothing groundbreaking or even that impressive on it

    My school's mk2.5 has this option. Why is this video even required?

    • @mire5679
      @mire5679 Před 8 měsíci +8

      Because for some people the MK4 is their first printer or they haven't owned a prusa yet, so they're showing it for new users. When i was startitng with my MK3S+ for the first time i really appreciated their videos, even if some of the options the mk2.5 already had.
      Also people arent going to be searching for mk3s+ printers if they own an MK4. Algorithm
