Filament notes for the Prusa Research MK4
Start with Best Filament for the Original Prusa MK4 (2026), which covers what the printercan and can’t print according to the maker.
The Prusa Research MK4 uses 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.

- Best TPU Filament (2026): Flexible Spools by Hardness and Feed Path
