Core One "Ultimate Edition"  

RE: Core One "Ultimate Edition"

Posted by: @juergen-4

Maybe this has been on sale for a while? I only came across it today:

Prusa now offers the "Core One Ultimate Edition" -- which is just the standard Core One bundled with four extra build plates, two extra nozzles, the Buddy3D camera and the filtration backpack. The accelerometer is not included, which seems like a stupid decision to me. 

At 400 Euro more than the regular model, it's not a huge saving over buying the accessories individually. So those of us who bought the regular Core One don't need to be disappointed.

If it came with the Prusa fish I might have considered it.

I just don't understand why the accelerometer is not included with the kits. It wouldn't really cost them anything and it would score points with the consumer. Or it would cost what? < $1 for them to stick one on the Love Board?

well, to continue:

- why there's no "decent" filament included in kit version - only 2x25g --> shame on you, prusa! It would be better without that two ~1m pieces... why it's so hard to include 1 kg of 25€ retail / 5€ factory priced spool when a man pays 1000+€ for the printer? It used to be included (back in MK3)...
- why there's no filament included in MMU3 unit?  5x400g would be perfectly ok. It would gain "a lot of points" and reduce income of prusa just slightly (let's say waaay under 50€). Or they could charge them for reduced price - anyone would buy 5x1kg of prusament for, say 50% discount when buying MMU3.
-  camera is already included in many of competitor printers... for the price it really should be included in basic version, not only "ultimate" (again: when a man pays 1000+€ for the printer). Factory price of this camera is in order of few €... (not to mention that retail price is pretty high).
- there's no need to include tools kit in 90% of the cases. People who order kit version mainly already have that tools, so here's one of potential "money savers". 

etc...

This should be the only version of core one, and for the price of basic version, not 400€ more expensive.

I'm split on the toolkit (probably I'd put this as selectable option, cost 1$) but agree with @hyiger that the accelerometer should be in every core one.

I may have stumbled on (part of) the reason.  I just ordered some specialised plaster, I needed 75kg but the vendor split it into two shipments; I asked why.

Delivery is cheaper (for them and therefore for me) for two sub 50kg shipments than one over 50 kg.  Apparently there are additional packaging and handling rules/laws for heavier shipments that take the delivery costs into a higher bracket.  The Core One, packed, weighs just 50kg.

Cheerio,

Edit:  For 50 read 25, and it seems I still get two for some reason.

Cheerio,

I'd rather they leave out the Haribo's and throw in an accelerometer (unless every gram counts). 

If you search back to the early days - pre this forum I think, there was uproar at the idea of dropping the gummy bears.

Cheerio,

I remember that discussion and it is indeed a niceh touch... but... the last two gummy bears packs I had (mk4s and core one upgrades) were so old that you could have used them as lego bricks... accelerator still preferred 😀
