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

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

Introducing the INDX! Fast and affordable 8-material printing exclusively on the CORE One

Prusa might FINALLY be able to compete with a bambu product in both functionality and price. For me personally, this is just a straight upgrade to the h2c once it rolls out to the core one L. The only downside I can possibly find is the lower nozzle temperatures.

Hello deciding

I would personally splurge for the MK4S, the speed and quality is unmatched, and the MK4S is still phenomenal. Also, you have the option to upgrade it to a Core one later down the line. Rather than a mini for $700, you can get the MK4S kit with free shipping for $800 https://www.printedsolid.com/pro

State of the eco-system/ease of use

I can speak for the core one+ and the XL: You can empty the build plate and start a new print and go away - that’s my usual process, given the plate is clean and suiting the material. With auto retraction activated, you don’t need the nozzle to heat up before removing filament. As for the recognitio

Six weeks of research and I’ve somehow talked myself out of every printer I was originally considering

I use several printers, mk3.5, core one, P1P, H2S, Sovol SV08MAX, (will soon add a Sovol ZERO) The cheapest solution, not repair but upgrade the mk3, you can convert the mk3 into a mk3.5: https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-to-mk3-5s-upgrade-kit-5/ This calls 279€ no einsy MCU nee
