Trying to choose between Prusa and Bambulab - what am I missing?

This is a Prusa group so you are likely to get some biased responses. For what it's worth, I choose to go Prusa over Bambu because I like how Prusa has remained open source. Bambu has recently made moves to close in their ecosystem which was a concerning direction. One of my first 3D printers was ve

Honest question: Who is the Prusa Core One L actually for in 2025/2026?

I want to touch one point about tuning. With Prusa, you don’t need to tune each machine individually - tuning is done in the slicer for specific filaments and it applies it to ALL Prusa printers. Prusa printers will give you the same print everytime, that’s why they’re best for farms. In my experien

Prusa vs Bambu feels less like “better vs worse” and more like different priorities

Hi, so although Josef signs my paychecks, I did purchase a Bambu A1, and X1C before I replaced them with Prusa, and then subsequently applied to work for big orange a little over a year later. My biggest problem with the Bambu system, is that the right way to use a Bambu is the way that Bambu decide

Trying to choose between Prusa and Bambulab - what am I missing?

I just bought a core one kit, and having run it for a week now including dealing with problems. I’d say that this feels like owning a very real tool. You can modify it to suit your needs, upgrade it, etc. you don’t need to source all parts and such from Prusa either. Sounds like the Bambu is more li

2025 Tool Changers

  • Prusa Core One with INDX is definitely a 2026 device, not 2025. - Have to increase the time on the Snapmaker U1 - Less sure on this one, but I think the bond indx systems shrinks the prusa core one effective build size

My MK4's are so much quieter and reliable than my Core ONE, where did I go wrong?

All I can tell you, is that does not sound anything like my Core One. There has to be something going on here! Maybe contact Prusa support?

Why I am disappointed of the Core One

This post is probably why they stopped selling assembly kits. No offence but when you order a kit you literally cannot expect a plug and play experience. How exactly would it be a plug and play experience anyway when you have to build your printer first? Secondly, why would you give you or any of us

Core One L not repairable?

Oh this topic again! It was brought up endlessly when the core one l first came out. Answer: you can’t, prusa doesn’t want to deal with the legal risk, extra regulation requirements etc
