No, I own two Creality printers.  Both are garbage.  I have heard the new ones are good.    I am gun-shy about trying them.  

Definitely garbage, just making a joke that you pretty much own every brand of printer there is.

RE: Core One owners regretting their purchase?

Sorry, I missed the joke.  I do have a mix of printers.  It has its strengths and weaknesses.   Each printer has strengths and weaknesses.  Some more than others.  

I own a small print farm with 3 resin and 26 FDM printers.  I am evaluating new printers for future expansion.  I am planning on 25-50 FDM printers in the next 4 years and a dedicated building.  

I prefer Prusa printers.  I like the ability to upgrade to remain relevant, but the cost can be limiting.  If they produce a Mini upgrade, I will expand my six to 8-10.  They have been very productive members of my farm.

Thanks for sharing.  I hope Prusa decides to make these.  I know is a sponsored unofficial project, but an official one would be great.  

I chipped in for the project.

Usually it's caused by installing one of the XY carriages in the wrong orientation: https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/5-corexy-assembly_835522#844219

Taking some photos of your belt routing will help otherwise we are just guessing

For example:

RE: Core One owners regretting their purchase?

I bought the kit when it was a core one. My grandson and I had a blast putting the kit together. We took a weekend and followed directions and ate the supplied gummy bears as advised. I had a couple glitches when starting the Test for start up section butPrusa help is out standing. Any thing that has occured has been my fault and a lesson learned. I owned a bedslinger I built and coded years ago this is a far superior product than the Chinese  made printer I gave to my grandson. This is my first Prusa product experiance and I would say I would do it again if given the chance. Are they perfect no but what machine is. And that is also a part of the fun for me. I can tweek and try different things out.
