PSA: Let’s address the VFA

It's great to see your engineering response to VFA and that it is being taken seriously - I'm the guy who opened the thread on the Prusa forums about the release day Core One (Prebuilt) VFA https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-core-one-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/vfa-artifacts-on-xy-straigh

Question: Is the Core One+ L worth the extra $1000 over the Core One+ ?

I also find their lack of core1L kits frustrating. ianal or legally fluent but I fail to understand the argument, and especially in light of how buttoned up the builds are I enjoy building prusa's even after 4 of them. The heatbed is different from all previous printers. Since the printers are shipp

Bring back INDX toolhead numbers!

Core one used to look nice, now it became heartless cobbled together piece of prototype. Prusa, you can do better!

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

Honestly, I’m at the point where I’m asking myself if Prusa is still living off its reputation. Back in the day, the i3 MK3S was a game changer for me. Coming from an Anycubic i3 Mega, it felt revolutionary. It just worked — reliable, consistent, amazing print quality. Prusa used to be the benchmark

Prusa on Bambi’s AGPL Violaton

Yeah exactly. If this was actually how it works (and legally it may be by the letter of the license NAL) this is bad for the consumer not good. It makes it quite literally impossible for a company to build on top of any AGPL3 licensed product. You can hate some of Bambus actions all you want but you

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

The elephant in the room.. Support. It was rather cheap for them when all they had to support was a few bedslingers. But the failed launch of the xl, which must have cost them a lot in support, new parts, firmware fixes, then new parts again, and yet other firmware fixes.. Then the Core one.. VFA, b

What to Buy to Build Out Robotics Home Lab?

3d printer for sure. I have a prusa core one, but quality of assembly has gone down from the mk4. Bamboo is supposed to be good but I haven't used one. My home setup is a couple lerobot soarm101, reachy mini, open duck mini, lekiwi, and Stanford Pupper (has a pretty good class that goes with it). Tu

Can the Core One L handle the heat? - Thomas Sanladerer

Unfortunately, Prusa seems to be afflicted with a puzzling cost cutting mindset that leads to this kind of subpar performance. While the competition is shipping multi-core ARM chips on their control boards, Prusa chose an ancient, practically obsolete, STM32 chip. One of the many outcomes of that un

Please default infill non grid!

I've had layer shifting issues with the CoreOne and MK4S, seemingly independent of infill type or speed. I just saw a post about this yesterday saying it could be the shitty USB that comes with the printer. If you use the Prusa USB stick, maybe try a better quality drive?

Prusa Core One+ new motor mount

Not what you are asking for but. It seems like prusa really likes to hold old stock sometimes, I bought my core one a couple of weeks ago and it was a bit of a Frankenstein in parts, the printer was a 2025 model and it came with the 2026 serial number sticker in a bag, and the LCD had a 3D printed b
