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

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

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.

Prusa on Bambi’s AGPL Violaton

That's funny the indx isn't theirs and heck when I finally broke down and left Prusa it was because I was on the waitlist for the XL for so damn long I canceled my order. The MK4 wasn't even an option when I picked up my X1C. The release of yet another MK printer was the last slap in the face. And t

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

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

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

Would you wait for Prusa INDEX/Core One L instead of buying H2C now?

On paper, the INDX is a more robust and efficient system compared to the Vortek. That said, INDX still isn't even out, let alone for the larger Core One L. Unless you want to be on the bleeding edge of a product release or have plenty of patience, then the INDX/Core One L may not be worth considerin

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

Currently you can even get a H2D + AMS for cheaper. It’s crazy. Having worked with a MK3S/MK4S and most recently a Core One I appreciate my P2S + AMS so much more. It prints better cleaner and faster while being more reliable and even detects failed prints automatically. I had one print fail which w
