Honest question: Who is the Prusa Core One L actually for in 2025/2026?

I want to touch one point about tuning. With Prusa, you don’t need to tune each machine individually - tuning is done in the slicer for specific filaments and it applies it to ALL Prusa printers. Prusa printers will give you the same print everytime, that’s why they’re best for farms. In my experien

Prusa vs Bambu feels less like “better vs worse” and more like different priorities

Hi, so although Josef signs my paychecks, I did purchase a Bambu A1, and X1C before I replaced them with Prusa, and then subsequently applied to work for big orange a little over a year later. My biggest problem with the Bambu system, is that the right way to use a Bambu is the way that Bambu decide

Trying to choose between Prusa and Bambulab - what am I missing?

This is a Prusa group so you are likely to get some biased responses. For what it's worth, I choose to go Prusa over Bambu because I like how Prusa has remained open source. Bambu has recently made moves to close in their ecosystem which was a concerning direction. One of my first 3D printers was ve

Everyone is bragging about their new CoreOne. Meanwhile, my old lady:

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

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.

Is Prusa trying to clear stock? New model coming soon?

I highly doubt that they are trying to clear stock. The Core One has been barely released (for Prusa time, not chinese printer time that push 10 iterations in one year) and a Core One S upgrade will likely still take some time. The INDX version will likely be sold beside the normal Core One. Many pe

Trying to choose between Prusa and Bambulab - what am I missing?

I just bought a core one kit, and having run it for a week now including dealing with problems. I’d say that this feels like owning a very real tool. You can modify it to suit your needs, upgrade it, etc. you don’t need to source all parts and such from Prusa either. Sounds like the Bambu is more li

CORE One + Hatch

It’s always great to see a new Core One mod pop up! It always makes me happy I chose Prusa over any other printer brand. Very cool idea, thank you for sharing!

3D printers should keep using springs in the bedplate

The problem is that springs are a constant maintenance item. They lose tension over time and as temperatures change which causes inconsistent first layer performance. They're fiddly to adjust precisely and most people who aren't 3d printer enthusiasts but rather just want to make stuff aren't going
