Prusa Research CORE One and MK4S: upgrades that fit

Their makers document the same parts for both models, so they share this page. If your printer has a modified hotend, extruder, or bed, check with the part’s maker before buying.

Filament notes for the Prusa Research CORE One and MK4S

Start with Best Filament for the Prusa CORE One, CORE One L and MK4S (2026), which covers what these printerscan and can’t print according to the maker.

Both use 1.75 mm filament. Every spool in our filament shortlists is 1.75 mm, but check the exact listing before you buy. The stock extruder is direct drive, which generally handles flexible filament more easily than a Bowden setup. Automatic material systems are a separate constraint.

For a material direction matched to your printer, use the filament finder with the CORE One preselected or the MK4S preselected.

Care gear for any printer

Dryers, storage, and tools don't depend on your printer model. These shortlists cover them.
