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.

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

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?

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.

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.

New to printing, CORE One Plus, or Bambu X2D?

The business ethics, generally open platform, and repairability will keep me in the Prusa ecosystem unless they pull some shenanigans (boy, that would be sad). I’ve had MK3’s through the Core One. I’ve always had other printers as well, and those Prusa were the only ones that just kept chugging alon

Core 1 be like...

New core one firmware is better. Even if it fails to clean the nozzle, you can just ignore it.For me, usually fails if the bed is not aligned. HOWEVER DEAR PRUSA, if the bed is not aligned, can you automate it to do a Z alignment calibration?It's annoying when i notice in the camera that the printer
