The technical specifications of the MK4S printer are explained in detail below.
Features in detail
The further developed extrusion system
The heart of the MK4S printer is the next generation Nextruder extruder , which is equipped with a planetary gearbox (10:1 ratio) and Extrusion temperatures of up to 290 °C can be achieved. The heat sink is made of aluminum and the hetend is made entirely of metal.
With the intelligent solutions Input Shaper and Pressure Advance The printer can eliminate resonances in the print and predict filament flow . The overall result of these extrusion upgrades is a reduction in printing time of up to 70% compared to the MK3 printer. Another practical solution for the Nextruder is the Customized breakout board . This means that all fans, heaters, thermistors, etc. are directly connected to the board, and replacing any of these components takes only a minute.
The MK4S is equipped with a custom-designed high-performance nozzle that uses CHT technology to... Print speed to increase and at the same time the durability to improve. Unlike standard nozzles, this high-performance nozzle allows users to to achieve better results without the need for special filaments , as it is compatible with common materials. Depending on the filament and nozzle diameter, the new nozzle offers a Improved flow rate from 50% to 114% compared to the standard MK4 version. Additionally, there is a optional Nextruder nozzle adapter available, ensuring compatibility with every V6 nozzle This allows for greater flexibility.
Chassis, axles and print bed
The MK4S printer is equipped with more robust plastic parts, new precise 0.9° stepper motors on the X and Y axes and Trinamic 2130 stepper motor drivers equipped. The stepper motors help to avoid vertical fine artifacts on the prints. In addition, the Z-axis rods are now thicker (10 mm), which leads to better looking prints leads even with problematic filaments like flexible ones.
The MK4S printer is equipped with a magnetic heated bed (up to 120 ºC) with a removable PEI spring steel sheet equipped. The print bed will automatically via a mesh bed leveling system calibrated . Thanks to the precise Load cell sensors The MK4S can produce a perfectly smooth and even first layer.
At the start of a printing process, the printer taps the nozzle on the print surface in a grid-like pattern to measure the distance and then calculate the correct offsets. The result is A perfect first layer on any surface, without manual adjustments .
Security features
To provide a smooth 3D printing experience and ensure efficiency and successful prints, the Prusa MK4S printer is equipped with multiple sensors Equipped with features responsible for detecting printing errors and alerting the user, the MK4S has... a built-in filament sensor (Hall sensor) that automatically interrupts the printing process when the filament runs out. In addition, the MK4S features a load cell sensor for automatic bed leveling , a Power Panic System (complete recovery after a total power outage) as well as 4 high-precision Thermistors (Original Semitec), Fan motor speed monitoring, hardware overheating detection, overcurrent protection and dual voltage monitoring functions .
