Prusa Core One

[...] Having just bought a Prusa Core One because of concerns about the direction Bambu is headed... [...] It is absolutely worse from a practical standpoint than the much older X1C I have, and the absolutely maddening part is that the "worse" bits are mostly software related. [...] I've had the Core One for less than 3 months, and I'm already into the double digits for number times I hit print and I come back 5 hours later to find.... [...] The MMU is a whole different clusterfuck of bad software design, cool 3d printed engineering, bad software design) "Nozzle clean failed. [...] Retry?" --- Basically - I am fucking tired of "Core One needs your attention!" popups on my phone. [...]

[...] All the cheap Chinese brands are at best only partially serviceable. [...] For me personally, the only viable choices today would be a Prusa Core One (possibly with INDX for multi-material, I don't care about MMU/AMS, those are just for multi-colour and with a lot of waste) or a Voron 2.4. [...]

[...] Bought myself a Prusa core one, having absolutely no idea whatsoever what is 3D printing, plugged in, the included filament in, just as the 10 pages manual says, click click, and I made my first print (no internet connection, no wifi, no registration, no app). [...] The price is very high though. [...]

[...] It's the best printer at your size range and price category (I own this, a Prusa Core One, and several creality machines). [...] Even if you don't want to do multi-color prints, it saves more than enough time switching filaments quickly to make it worth it if you're printing with any regularity. [...] Parts are available, they aren't outrageously priced, and the instructions are plenty clear. [...] --- Option 2: Build a Voron Kit. [...] You'll need to be very comfortable with both hardware and software for the assembly. If you want anything like the remote control & monitoring of corporate printers, you'll need to be comfortable hosting your own services and exposing things on the public internet (ex: tailscale/wireguard or just plain public). [...]

[...] The openness of the Prusa Core ONE is not what would allow a competitor to enter the market "unfairly" with a competitive product. [...]

We bought a Prusa Core One kit 💕 It took us about 10 hours to assemble, (One day). I got the parts ready and Marius built it, kitties also helped. [...]

[...] Are you looking to drive or are you looking to fix/build a car? [...] The new Prusa CORE One might be a good fit as well, but it's still too early to tell what its quirks are. For printers that are projects, the Ender 3 comes to mind as a very cheap base for countless tinkering and upgrades.

My Prusa Core One 3D printer has had two upgrades available at reasonable prices since I purchased it. These upgrade kits are a bit more involved than swapping out a battery or camera but in the end, I will have the latest hardware. [...] I hope they make some profit from the upgrade kits because this kind of relationship is worth rewarding.

Getting one with an enclosure like a Prusa Core One does wonders for noise reduction. Can even throw it under a desk. I had one in my office for years and no one could hear it on the other side of video calls.

I started 3D printing about 10 years ago with the first Taz machines and they left me a broken, broken man. Fast forward to a month ago, I bought a Prusa Core One, loved it, and then bought a XL 5-toolhead. It's been so much fun using printers that "just work." I finished this 6-day print last week!

I bought a prusa core one 3d printer two weeks ago, and now they emailed me "Hey we announced this new cool version right after that you bought the previous one. Fill this form to get a free update kit". [...]

Anything core XY, so most of the Bambu Lab printers apart from the A1 series, Creality K1 series, Prusa Core One. They all have their pros and cons. I've had a few of the bed slinger design and they work but you have to print dramatically slower, so the core XY design is better for faster.

[...] I bought a Prusa Core One 3-D printer kit from Czechoslovakia, and it had like a four month lead time so it was tariff roulette about when it would show up. [...]
