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?
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

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

CORE One L - platform or one-off?
Prusa has said the CORE One will get upgrades, and it’s already got the + upgrade and INDX to prove it. You already noted the L is getting INDX too. And Prusa have said the CORE One / L platforms are build with many of the same components and mechanics so they can share the same / similar upgrades.

Core One L assemble only
I absolutely loved building my prusas - shame the core one L can't be built but I guess there's a point where a) its possibly not worth the hassle to develop kits and documentation and b) achieve consistency with regard to calibration etc.

Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL)
so, you are telling me - i reverse engineered the Core ONE for 4 months and now, that i am 75 % done, you tell me, that i wasted my time :D jokes aside: that is amazing it is imho the best for both worlds - free 100 % access to all data for the customer and still a way to lock out copycat companies,

A bucket of cold water: Core One and VFA's
I’d rather buy a beta Core One than anything by Bambu. Prusa is consumer focused and repairable. Bambu is walled garden straight to landfill trash.

Is there any downside to getting the Core L over the Core+, apart from price? Is Core+ more modern? Will there come a Core+ L? INDX will appear later, should I wait for that and buy the complete package?
The core one L is a better machine in my opinion, it’s got a newer heatbed, a nicer build, better fans and vents etc. But these are marginal improvements. Both are great machines. Yes, the INDX will come to the core one L sometimes end of q4 or start of q1 next year. Bambu being best for its price d
