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

Prusa CORE One to CORE One+ upgrade
Key features: Automatic Top Vent Operation: The extruder now automatically opens the vent for low-temp materials (PLA/PETG) and closes it for high-temperature materials, ensuring the optimal thermal environment and creating a true "set-and-forget" experience. Easy Flex Loading: A redesigned filament

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

Are things getting better on Core One family?
I have the CORE One, the CORE One L, and the X1C. In terms of severity of VFAs, CORE One L has the least, followed by the CORE One, then the X1C dead last. Both Prusa machines are factory assembled, and I have also assembled more than 10 CORE Ones. IMO this VFA thing is overblown since the CORE One

Comrade, I Have Failed: My Months of PrusaSlicer Profile Tuning Mean Nothing Without Proper Ideological Purity
I think you should provide any examples for your statement. For example, Prusa researched and fixed VFA in Core One by updating their profiles and maintenance recommendations, while Bambu did nothing and you have just to live with them.

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

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

Should I Build My MK3S+ or Sell It for a Newer Printer?
The MK3S+ is a fun, great printer. Until maybe 3 years ago, it was a top-of-the-line consumer choice. If it meets your needs, I see no reason not to just use it. Sure, the MK4 and Core One are a little better, but not so much that the average person would really care. Honestly, the biggest differenc

Thoughts on Prusa CORE+
I’ve never had a 3d printer before the core one, so take my comments with a grain of salt. I bought the core one kit a year ago. Had an absolute blast building it. It has performed flawlessly for me (yes they’re have been problems but they were my fault). When the plus version came out…I just printe
