Disappointing Experience - Buddy3d Camera & Core One Damage

Making me glad I went directly to Prusa for my Core One. Thankfully, no issues with my camera. I’m surprised that they’re not standing behind a Printed Solid purchase, given the tight relationship. I mean, PS is even doing assembly work. Weird.

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

My MK4's are so much quieter and reliable than my Core ONE, where did I go wrong?

All I can tell you, is that does not sound anything like my Core One. There has to be something going on here! Maybe contact Prusa support?

Why I am disappointed of the Core One

This post is probably why they stopped selling assembly kits. No offence but when you order a kit you literally cannot expect a plug and play experience. How exactly would it be a plug and play experience anyway when you have to build your printer first? Secondly, why would you give you or any of us

Think it's time to switch to a Prusa. What's the closest experience to an AMS Pro 2?

Prusa doesn't really have an equivalent to the P2S/AMS combo, you'd probably be looking at a Core One with a four- or eight-tool INDX system. From the user side, the result would be closer to an H2C with a smaller print bed (at least until Core One L gets it's INDX kit); of course, technically the I

Core One L assemble only

I absolutely loved building my prusas - shame the core one L can't be built but I guess there's a point where a) its possibly not worth the hassle to develop kits and documentation and b) achieve consistency with regard to calibration etc.

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

Core One vs. Bambu?

Dude you bought a kit printer, and honestly it sounds like mechanically and technically that was a bit above your level, but it saved you $200 so you wanted to do it. You're comparing the out of the box ease of use to that of a bambu printer which only comes fully assembled and you're surprised the

Will we ever get automatic spaghetti detection from the Nextruder?

If you got a camera there are solutions with a local vision model available. Not an official Prusa solution though. I am integrating one of the model with Prusa Connect for my personal use. It works in tandem with layer change synchronized timelapses. It still has some rough edges. The goal is to ad

Update: Let's talk about quality control for Prusa kits

I took 3 days and lots of breaks to assemble my core one upgrade kit. All my prusas have been kits and are all reliable. Too many times I see people with a lot of problems that assemble their kit in 8 hours.
