⬢To be able to control your printer from anywhere in the world, register your printer to Prusa Connect, the remote control cloud service.

This guide is valid for Original Prusa MK4/S, MK3.9/S, MINI/+ and XL machines.

If you plan to use another printer type or just crave for more info, visit the Prusa Connect and PrusaLink explained article.
