RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
Batch 2, ordered 31.01, received 25.04.
Damn, this beast is as fast as bamboo X1 carbon - but here we have over 20 kg of rigid steel construction, which gives a much better feel 😀
Assembly is not difficult, but a lot of time is wasted looking for parts. Parts needed for a specific step are quite randomly placed in 10 different boxes. Compared to the good old mk3s+ or new XL kits, CoreOne assembly kit is prepared a bit chaotically - but the most important thing is that everything was assembled without a problem.
It is a bit tight. In XL5T changing the nozzle, hotend, and even more so the whole nextruder is quick and convenient, in CoreOne you have to struggle a bit. Now I understand why there are projects on Printables that support the hotend to make changing the nozzle easier 😉

RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
Awesome!! 🎉 I'm in the same boat and just got my shipment notification too! Can't believe it's finally happening after all the waiting.
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
<sigh>
And here I sit, waiting for the advanced filtration to be released so that my 31-Jan order will ship! 🥺
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
I´m also on batch 4 , orderd or the 3 of February. here Portugal, where to your kit will be shipped?
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
Just finished my build. All calibrations passed first time thankfully!
I didn't even tension my belts. lol
The Prusa tensioning website/app just wouldn't work for me - so I kinda just winged it and went by whatever I thought 'felt ok'. Seems to be OK so far, although I will revisit at some point.
Video build guide coming soon!
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
I have tried every orientation but my phone does not like to listen to the belts. Some times I would try to speak into the phone to break the squelch which sort of seemed to work. I wonder if noise filtering is causing trouble? I did eventually get them tensioned, but that has always been a pain with my MK4/MK4S and now my Core One.
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
Maybe the app should have an alternate mode where it plays an 85 Hz tone instead? Most people are pretty good with relative pitch; tuning might actually be faster if you do it "by ear" after hearing the reference tone from the app, because you no longer need to hold the phone in one hand. Not sure how good the typical phone speaker is at playing a tone at such a low frequency though?

At least on my mini I found it worked better if I touched one of the rods with my phone out of the case. Might work on the core if you touch something on the xy gantry with it.

Be sure to point the microphone end of your phone towards the belt. 😉
Yop done that - it worked pretty well with my MK4s back when I was building that last year, but just doesn't seem to want to work now.......
Nevertheless, benchy printed and looking good!!!

nice, hopeful that my Batch 12 ships end of May then 😀
RE: The Core One Kit Waiting List
I would not think too much of my order shipping first. It could be something in our orders or the shipping location.
