Original Prusa, a leading manufacturer in the 3D printing industry, has unveiled the latest version of their multi-material expansion - the Original Prusa MMU3.

By utilizing PrusaSlicer, colored models can be printed without the need for complex color changes during the printing process.
The Original Prusa MMU3 was developed with community feedback in mind and features numerous improvements under the hood. The plastic parts have been completely redesigned, the firmware has been rewritten, and the user interface has been simplified.
