I’m really excited that I can finally unveil the new Prusa CORE One! Not just here, with text and a 10-minute video deep dive, but also live at FormNext in Frankfurt. So if you’re visiting, stop by our booth at Hall...
The total cost of the upgrades to go from MK3S>MK4>CORE One is the same or greater than just buying a new kit. It’s currently $1-200 more than a Bambu P1S with AMS due to the black Friday sale, which they frequently have on sale for this price. I really do like the concept of continually upgrading your printer to the latest and gratest, but it’s not actually that economical. And add to all that, you’ll basically end up with a new printer and most of the parts of a second so why not just have 2 for the same cost.
It will be a significant speed upgrade…but the quality is only a little better. It’s one of the things holding me back. Not sure I really need to upgrade yet.
If you want to print with high temp materials the enclosure is a must, so it’s a huge change there, if all you do is PLA, PETG then it’s not as critical. But I still think the Bambu P1S bundle is the better deal, similar sized printer, similar motion system and ease of use, and you get the 4 spool AMS which is a game changer even if you don’t print multicolor. I want to love the prusa stuff but it’s just too expensive
I went out of my way to purchase prusa the first time. With these new developments, I probably won’t.
Yeah, the enclosure is a driving factor as I’d like to branch out to different materials. The AMS seems pretty awesome as well since I’ve been wanting to do multi color for a while now.
I usually keep 1 or 2 PLAs in there, one tough material like ASA and one silly fun one. Let’s me just select the right mats for the job and hit print and I rarely have to change out a spool unless I’m doing something colorful. It’s awesome
