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.

My Experience with Prusa - Opinions Needed

(2/2) Will I have the same experience with the H2C? So, to be clear, I work for Prusa, but I'm going to try and be as unbiased as I possibly can be here; When it comes to space, the H2C isn't much better once you go beyond the initial offering, as soon as you add a 2nd 4 spool AMS, it no longer fits

Used Prusa Core ONE

It’s up to you of course, I bought a Bambu p1s and now I’m selling it because i have 2x core ones. They print high quality, they allow mods and changes, they can be upgraded later when the new model, and new things come out. No forced Chinese server connection, no “throw it in the bin” when the new

New to printing, CORE One Plus, or Bambu X2D?

The business ethics, generally open platform, and repairability will keep me in the Prusa ecosystem unless they pull some shenanigans (boy, that would be sad). I’ve had MK3’s through the Core One. I’ve always had other printers as well, and those Prusa were the only ones that just kept chugging alon
