Yes, I’ve owned a Core One for a few days now. I’ve run several MK3 and MK3S printers over the past 7 years, and the feeling grew stronger: I needed something new! The printer arrived 2 weeks earlier than promised by Prusa. I ordered it factory-assembled.
Why the Core One?
To be honest, I was looking at a Voron. And no, I wasn’t even considering that walled-garden stuff called Bamboo… However, the Core One had all I wanted to have, and Prusa got quite some Credit in their account. Open-source features, good prints out of the box, responsive support, and a vibrant community. And yes, it comes for a price!
