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

2025 Tool Changers

  • Prusa Core One with INDX is definitely a 2026 device, not 2025. - Have to increase the time on the Snapmaker U1 - Less sure on this one, but I think the bond indx systems shrinks the prusa core one effective build size

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

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 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

CNC Kitchen review of the CORE One L

Yeah, Prusa needs to make a better case for their machines, and focus on their strengths. The question of "Who are these printers for?" is becoming less clear. Kinda appearing to me like they are focusing more on government contractors and businesses that have very stringent information security nee

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

Prusa really needs to figure out a way to cut some cost. They are simply not competitive. Why would I pay 2k (plus 200 dollar shipping) for a printer that is less capable than my 800 dollar printer. I love my Core One, but admittedly my P2S is considerably better and cost half the price. Same with t
