RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
FYI, just noticed an update to the shipping table.
Version for printers with the older xLCD type will begin shipping in the week of May 19th.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
To me, it's obvious that you're going on with all these big speeches as a supposed supply chain expert, when the real issue isn't logistics at all—it's Prusa's poor communication (or lack of transparent communication) and their deliberate choice to treat those with the old LCD as second-class customers. And honestly, it's a shame, because this fanboy attitude—downplaying or hiding the clear problems Prusa is facing—ultimately does more harm than good to the brand. We're already seeing the effects: some people are even justifying the fact that Prusa took money far in advance and that you now have to buy a new LCD just to avoid waiting 2–3 weeks longer.
It looks pretty normal to me when your demand goes up by 20+ times what you are geared to handle, or your capacity to handle drops similarly - you get huge backlogs while you try and clear them more orders come in. Ramping up capability for short term is difficult even worse if you need skilled workers but that capacity need will drop quickly after the backlog is cleared.
As far as I can tell Prusa has been honest with what they said they'd do and time frames for shipping to start while you may not like them taking the full amount upfront, it appears fully refundable no quibbles - unlike the deposits I put down on other things.
You may not like they announce things before they will be in a position to deliver, but then others may prefer to know in advance - you will never please everyone, and the announcing things early can build up a demand backlog if it is popular causing some of the issues. No one is forcing you to sit on, to borrow an IT term, "the bleeding edge", at this point either buy something else or wait for the early adopters backlogs to clear
There’s no point in you trying to teach others how to manage a supply chain; if Prusa’s behavior seems normal to you, it just shows you operate as poorly as they do, so spare us—you're in no position to teach anyone anything on the topic.

No movement, here, yet on mine....
That said, not sure how many people are even still following this thread, due to all of the bickering.
RE:
You can buy a pre-assembled Core One if you don’t want to wait—hurry up, actually the lead time is only 1–2 weeks. 😉

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Nope. I am already saving for printers 25 and 26. I do not need another Core One.

@cwbullet: Be happy, I'm Batch 13 !
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Anyone ship from Batch 2?
I'm in batch 1 and mine hasn't shipped yet. It will get there in the end, we just keep waiting patiently.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Anyone ship from Batch 2?
Batch 2 also. No movement yet. Just the upgrade kit and a satin print sheet that shows as in stock.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Ok mine just shipped. So I guess they are running a bit behind schedule.
Ordered day one, batch 1, just moved to shipped, time to get mk4s out and dis-assembled
Lucky you! Also ordered day 1 new LCD (Batch 1) and my order is still "new"
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I have been there. I am not angry. I just am curious if they med the date for 14 May.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Update: Well, not really. I'm still New and shipping TBA, but until I pass the 30th with no update I'm no worse off. And it turned out both of my xLCD were the new kind so it was fortuitous that I changed the order.
Let's see how this goes. I just edited my order from the old xLCD to the new xLCD version. Currently shipping is TBA, order status is now New. I'm sure it takes a bit to filter through the system. We'll see if I lose my place.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
My Batch 1 was shipped today.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
2025.01.31- my order 1st batch was delivered today by DPD.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I ordered on 2025.01.31 @ 19:02 UTC. My order is in batch 2 (shipping starts 2025.05.14), order status is still New.
Eagerly but patiently awaiting my conversion kit. Debating what to do with my Original Prusa MK4 Enclosure afterwards.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Finally my batch 1 order was shipped today.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Anyone figure out WTF the shipping list means? How do I know what group? Mine has just said "new" for like 6 weeks.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Scroll to the bottom of the order, in the box "Order Items".
There's a text field there with something like
"Shipping starts: 24 Jun 2025 (Batch 8)"
