RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
My order updated today to show I'm still in Batch 4, so no harm done changing the order.
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
I built the Core One printer from the conversion kit, it prints perfectly.Everything passed the initial calibration, it was a little noisy during a test print. I ran the tests again and adjusted it with the accelerometer, the noise also disappeared. It prints perfectly with PLA PETG and Flex materials.It is worth the wait, I got a very good printer.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I am in Batch 2, still waiting. Ordered the Conversion kit in January 31.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
That's what i thought. I ordered (only the upgrade kit) Jan 31 also around 21.30 gmt+1 and I'm in Batch3.
So no hurry to start dismanteling MK4s. 😀
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
There are plenty of people in Batch 1 that are still waiting. Looks like they are running behind on the conversion kit's. As according to the shipping table they expected to start shipping batch 3 tomorrow.
On the other side, they seem to be running ahead on the full kit orders.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
These parts are out of stock. This could explain the delivery delay.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
From past experience, I believe they reserve a fair amount for building printers and kit's. And only put them on the site for parts when they have a clear surplus. I expect everything they produce is going into printers and kit's right now. And it makes sense, if you need to ship 100 kits a day, and you are making 100 of the parts a day, you need them all.
I have seen it with MK3 parts as well. They were shipping printers every day, but you could not buy spare parts.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Those are made in house so I suspect they do not make much extra stock during the initial sales period.

That appears to be correct. I will be interested to see someone post that their Batch 2 or 3 has shipped.

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I am Batch 1 ordered really early on, 21/5/2025 and still waiting batch 2 should have now started.
Have been in touch 3 times no dispatch date given. First reason was waiting on a buddy camera, next was issue with the conversion kit. Now I have been told by the service agent they could see no reason for not being dispatched and was contacting the relevant department and they would email me. I am obviously being impatient as Batch 2 only started 7 days ago. But what might the real issue be.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I am also Batch 1, ordered in the first 15 minutes. But have camera and filter in my order, which are likely holding things up. I have seen some people posting that their orders with camera or filter have shipped. Not seen people with both say that yet.
Also keep in mind that the shipping table dates are only estimates, not promises. We also do not know how large a batch is, could be 100 orders, or 10000 orders.
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Hi All any batch 2 had there delivery yet
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I guess that if they got so many orders on the first day that orders have been split into at least 3 batches, they still have quite a few to send. 😀 And then there are also the orders for kits and assembled. And also different versions with old and new screens and additional items in orders that are holding things back so just have to be patient.
But it would be nice to hear if anyone from Batch 2 has had anything to happen to their order?

Noted 1 or 2 on FB group

RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
We’ll build was going so well, then found IR filament sensor missing 🥺
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
Hi all, I'm in Batch 1 with an old xLCD version..Prusa said that estimated time for shipping would be in the week of 19 May ( the third delay ! 1. It would have start in April for both versions....2. In the end of April..... 3. They have splitted the new and the old versions as they did with MK4s, with 20 day difference...)
As we all know,when it's been said from prusa something like "estimated week of 19 May", this means Friday 23....And offcourse because they want to sell more
assembled printers and they IGNORE all the others ( because they just can ), there will be probably, a new announcement for a NEW DELAY.... I don't care about how many orders they have to manage.... They should be doing a MULTITASKING control! They should be telling the truth about the pririorities they are having as a company, which of course it would be absolutely acceptable, and not to misleading their clients. If I knew from the first moment 31/1 that I had to pay from something that I would have in summer, I just wouldn't have payed for it. If someone says ok just ask for a refund, now it's to late for all the time that I have spend in waitting and the refund it's not the point! I'm very disappointed!
RE: MK4S to Prusa CORE One Conversion kit Waiting list
I don't have my conversion kit yet, but from what I remember going through the manual, the IR sensor is reused from the MK4S.
