What's in the package?

Does the Original Prusa i3 MK3+ kit include any filament?...or do I have to order that seperately at the same time?

You get 1 kg of Silver PLA.

Noper.  As of delivery this past Thursday, it ships with this:

https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/filament/46-silver-pla-filament-1kg.html

It isn't Prusament.  But, it seems nice enough.  Using it with the Prusament PLA settings, printed about 1/2 the spool, and really no complaints.

Indeed, the silver is a nice color.  Happily printing more of it right this moment.

Funny, as usually I only notice red, blonde, and brunette.  Maybe because of all that silver showing up in the mirror these days.

The roll in the package is definitely not prusament, it's PLA made for Prusa Research by verified manufacturers.  I was having underextrusion issues on my new printer so I checked the filament along a 2 foot section and it came in between 1.72mm and 1.74mm when measured at 10 places or so.

That is within the +/- 0.05mm that is in the specs for this filament. Never had any problems with this filament. After finishing that spool that came with the printer I have ordered 2 more spools and the last one is almost empty now.
