Prusa Core One - Intial thoughts......
Initial thoughts??
Looks very interesting - printing any material without opening the chamber etc.
Shipping for the kit starts April 2025.....but we all know what Prusa are like with shipping new releases!!......
What are your thoughts???

3 options:
Pre-built
Kit
Direct upgrade from MK4s to Core One - will require disassembly of the MK4S and rebuilding into the Core one structure, since many of the parts are the same....

RE:
If I didn't already have an enclosure I would probably go for the upgrade but for me I don't think I would gain enough to warrant the cost.
But if I end up buying a second print I think that would be top of the list
RE:
Bear in mind its a Core XY model - how much of a difference that makes to speed and accuracy is to be seen though, but at the cost of maintenance. My MK4s is running pretty good for me so far...!

Exactly, mine is a straight 4 and just works. For me minimal gain.

Seems great, however the sales policy is really strange.
I ordered my MK4S last month, now they released a more capable machine for just a slightly higher price. Asking if there is any compensation arrangement is the answer, just sent it back and we will refund your order. However I ordered as a kit, if a sent back a assembled one, I basically send them an additionally 300 euro.
Asking for a discount on the upgrade package this proposal was rejected
RE: Prusa Core One - Intial thoughts......
They mentioned an upgrade path, but there's currently no option to order or preorder an upgrade kit from the Mk4s....

Yeh I suspect this is way down the line. The assembled kits will ship first - Jan 2025 - then the kits in April 2025. They will probably want to push more of these out the door first before moving on to the upgrade path.
I estimate closer to the summer considering Prusa's track record with new release shipments......

This is the printer I needed all along. Before I bought the Mini, the MK3S+, and 5-tool XL. 😄
Mini+MK3S+XL 5 Tool
RE: Prusa Core One - Intial thoughts......
Will the GPIO Hackerboard be available for the XL too ?
RE: Prusa Core One - Intial thoughts......
I wonder if the Core One upgrade kit be compatible with the MK3.9S?

Surprised and excited when the video dropped... A compact enclosed XY printer is great; I print mostly functional parts and being able to use advanced materials is a big step forward. I'm very happy there's a conversion kit for the 4S, but I'm still trying to decide whether to save the cash and convert, or keep my 4s and have 2 printers. On the one hand, it'll be good to keep a functional printer in case there are some teething issues, but I do need to find the space for it 🙂
