Original Prusa printers offer a range of upgrade options to keep your machine up-to-date with the latest features. This article overviews available upgrades for various models, including MK series printers, MMU, XL, and SL1/S models.

The Original Prusa MK series printers can be upgraded to a variety of newer models. The oldest model eligible for an upgrade is the MK3, which can be upgraded to the MK3S+, MK3.9S, or MK4S.
To upgrade to the Original Prusa Upgrade MK3.5S it is necessary to have the MK3S or the MK3S+ printer. If you have the MK3, you can get the upgrade from the MK3/S to the MK3S+ and then upgrade it to the MK3.5S.
The MK4 can be upgraded to the MK4S, and the MK3.9 can be upgraded to the MK3.9S.
The only upgrade to CORE One is from the MK4S, so your printer needs to first be upgraded to an MK4S, then to the CORE One.
See below all of the direct upgrades available for the MK printers, and click on each one to find more information.
