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

Easy Flex Loading: A redesigned filament

Core One GT2 belt (Top) vs GT1.5 belt (Bottom). PLA VFA is very much GONE. So worth the effort.

VFAs are speed dependent.A simple print doesn't prove much because the VFAs might just have shifted to a different speed.There are test models that test a range of speeds. https://www.printables.com/model/1189256-vfa-test-prusa-core-one?lang=de

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

State of the eco-system/ease of use

The differences aren't super large, but they are noticable: Loading / Unloading filamentThis imho is the biggest difference. With Bambu you load up the AMS with the spools you want, and worst case you specify the filaments on the printer / in studio. With a Core One you need to manually feed the fil

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

I’ve been pushing the limits of the core one+ in terms of miniatures and getting fantastic results. Take a look at my profile for more examples, but here’s one I posted not too long ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/s/lpl4T6RzTK If you get the c1+, you can copy my profiles and get the same resul

Think Big, Print Bigger: Introducing the Prusa CORE One L!

Yeah I really appreciate the work done here! The trouble we had was that we were stuck between High end industrial machines like Stratasys and Markforged with silly expensive running costs and then the Consumer desktop market that is plagued with chinese machines. Prusa sit in this lovely middle gro

Bambu Lab 3D printers: Never again - Jeff Geerling

That's where I was. I had a moded and upgraded Ender 3 with every bell and whistle you could bolt on to improve it and I was still fighting calibration before every print. The Prusa MK4 was $1000 and looked like more of the same or I could spent $1500 and get a Core XY with material system that had

Core One vs H2S

They’re completely different printers, so I’m not sure how you want to compare them, but I’ll answer nonetheless: They are similar in terms of quality. A proper breakdown can be found at https://auroratechchannel.com/. Bambu Slicer is based on PrusaSlicer, so both have the same performance. I prefer

Which Slicer? `

I actually had worse print Quality with my Core One L with orca slicer. The corners where exaggerated. With Prusa Slicer I didnt had this problem.
