CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

Prusa really needs to figure out a way to cut some cost. They are simply not competitive. Why would I pay 2k (plus 200 dollar shipping) for a printer that is less capable than my 800 dollar printer. I love my Core One, but admittedly my P2S is considerably better and cost half the price. Same with t

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

Prusa CORE One to CORE One+ upgrade

According to the product page: yes "Upgrade Your CORE One! Current CORE One owners can easily upgrade to the new CORE One+! You can either download the free print-it-yourself files from Printables or purchase the official upgrade kit from our e-shop." Seems like they still haven't uploaded these par

PSA: Let’s address the VFA

u/josefprusa Hey, I really appreciate you finally addressing this — but this exact issue is why I’m holding off on ordering a CORE One. I owned a Prusa XL and spent over a year trying to chase down constant VFA issues. I even sent the printer to Printed Solid twice, hoping they could help — but both

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

Crash on the 3rd print

This has been happening to Core One L printers since launch, but was supposed to be fixed in the firmware revision that you are running. Prusa's response to everyone so far has been 'Just reboot it', which isn't really acceptable. Unfortunately, while Prusa builds machines with solid analog hardware

Breaking news: Die-Hard Prusa Fan bites the Bullet and gets an X2D

I own three Prusa printers, and the CoreOne was the final straw. Mine has never worked, can't pass XY calibration, and Prusa support has been unhelpful, asking me to do the same things I've already done multiple times. I am fed up, I spend more time fixing a Prusa than actually printing. Bought an H

Breaking news: Die-Hard Prusa Fan bites the Bullet and gets an X2D

What are you talking about? Having to print fixes for an expensive printer is a bad thing. And my CoreOne has never worked and Prusa tech support has been useless and not helpful, in fact fairly hostile.

X2D vs PRUSA Core Plus Kit

Prusa build quality isn't better than Bambu. The c1+ still have layer shift issues, belts adjustments issues, firmware issues so if it's your first printer, I cannot recommend it, especially as a kit. Imho, the x2d is just a better printer. The auxiliary hotend will prove useful for casual color pri

Update: Let's talk about quality control for Prusa kits

Im in exactly the same boat, 6 months and still a broken core one due to only their defective parts. They keep sending me more but they have no interesting in taking it back or actually fixing the problem. Im actually going to have to higher a lawyer and sue them or try and talk to mr.prusa at Rapid
