How did you mount your CoreONE printer?
How did you support your PrUSA CoreONE 3D Printer?
Initially, I placed my printer on a 16.6"x24" by 24" tall two drawer nightstand that wasn't in use. That was a convenient placement until I made a permanent space for it in the garage.
Height: What height do you like the printer stand to be?
My garage workbenches are 34" tall. So would raise the machine 10" higher than the current placement.
With the print head being at the top of the machine, the current 24" stand with the machines 22" height puts the print head (subtract 4") at a very convenient 42" work height. That made working on the print head fairly convenient.
I am thinking the standard workbench might place the print head a bit too high for convenience.
Support base:
The printer is pretty quiet as assembled. Typically about 55 dB with a max of 64 dB
CNC Kitchen recommends a concrete paver to reduce sound levels on his MKx Prusa (Seriously the BEST $2 3D printer upgrade!) which he used to reduce the sound level from 67.7 dB to 55.9 dB. I can get a am not sure how he got the $2, a 24"x24"x2" concrete step is $9.97 at my Home Depot. That looks to weigh about 23 lbs. But I do have an unused 50lb bag of concrete I could put to some good use before it gets wet and hardens.

RE: How did you mount your CoreONE printer?
One design: Core One Stand (May 25)
- no final height mentioned, but perhaps 24" height
Another design: Building a stand (Mar 25)
- mentions the 400 mmx400mmx40mm thick concrete paver
- or a fancy marble slab.
- no heights discussed
RE: How did you mount your CoreONE printer?
All my printers are sitting on workbenches 37.5" high. They're on top of pavers from Home Depot that I spray coated with plasti-dip, and sorbothane rubber bumpers between paver and workbench.
It's a reasonable height for me (I'm 6.1), could be even higher in fact.

RE: How did you mount your CoreONE printer?
I have mine on a rather thin wood table but I recently bought the thickest vibration dampener I could find for washing machines. I think it helps a bit with noise and vibration but they still are clearly there. I think the vibrations are not a real problem because the CoreOne must be able to compensate for it as I haven't seen any problems caused by vibrations. It is probably a bigger problem when you have many machines close to each other. Ideally I would use a very sturdy table and a concrete base.

#1. I did not "mount" my Core One, it sits on my workbench 🙂
#2. Don't over-think this... During most daily use, if you can open the front door, and work the controls, you really don't care how high it is. For the few times you need to work on the print head, use a step stool if it is too high. Yes, mine is sitting on my workshop benches, and those are higher than a typical office desk. But I have owned the printer for 3 and a half months now, and have not yet reached for a step stool.
Happy Holidays!

So the variable height workbench by Linear Direct is a bit much? 🤣 {Not going that far. Not planning on spending much money... But we might get the step-son to custom build a new worktop.}
"Ergonomic design for lasting comfort
An ergonomic working environment is essential for staying productive and healthy over long periods of time. Our height-adjustable 3D printer table allows you to customise your working height, allowing you to work in a comfortable position that prevents muscle strain. The flexible adjustment ensures optimal alignment with your body, making working on the 3D printer not only more comfortable, but also more effective."

Extra-points if you give step-son an idea to use is intermediate-level blacksmith skills. 🤣

my Core One is on a stone-tiled concrete floor with one mm of vinyl under it. Works.
Loving the learning curve!

Nice. The dip should improve the looks.

additional questions: POWER SUPPLY
Does the PrUSA CoreONE require a separate circuit, or can I run it on the same circuit with a MK3s+?
I think in theory I could put up to four PrUSA on a single 15A circuit.

The power supply is rated at 240W. At that power, it will draw a tad more than 1A if your mains is 230 V, or 2A at 115V. The average power consumption of the printer will be less, but depends on the required temperatures -- I have seen 90W to 110W mentioned for printing PLA and PETG. Peak power consumption may be a bit more.
I would add a generous safety margin to account for potential weaknesses in your mains wiring (corroded contacts etc.); after all the printers may run unattended and overnight. But I would feel comfortable running three or four printers on the same mains circuit.
