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