Prusa Core One

T Tom's Hardware Article · Nov 2024

The CORE One is Prusa's first Core XY offering, and it does not disappoint. It's built for precision, and our tests prove it. It shares most of the same parts and has a similar size and build volume as the MK4S , but it is 20% faster and has an enclosed chamber that can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius to work with all types of filaments. You can get it fully assembled for $1,199 (that's just $100 more than the MK4) or save $250 and get the kit. A conversion kit is available for MK4S owners for $450 .

This is incredible. The Core One, obviously your foray into the Core XY machines, very popular, high print quality. I like mine. Now though, eight heads? I am super excited. You know, we've been we've been doing the multi-material multi-color for 9 years now. You know, we started with MMU1.

The Original Prusa Core One stands out for businesses for its professional-grade reliability, ease of integration into larger systems, and of course the pure speed and quality of the prints. In our testing experience, it delivers the best print quality you can get from an FDM printer, with excellent mechanical stability, and a workflow that enables you to adapt and add to the printer to suit the needs of your business.

Rather than forcing existing owners to buy a new printer, Prusa offer an official upgrade kit that brings your original Core One up to the Core One Plus spec. Same philosophy that they've had for years. If you've got a machine that's mechanically sound, you shouldn't need to replace it.

P PrintSignals Article

The CORE One+ is Prusa's enclosed machine, built to do two jobs that don't usually sit together. It gets a first-time owner to a good print in under fifteen minutes, and it opens up the warp-prone materials an open-frame printer can't hold. It launched recently, so real-world feedback is still filling in, but the early picture is strong.

>> The unboxing was in fact pretty uneventful, but in a good way. Everything's safe, secure, and incredibly well packed. It's a box inside of a box with layers of foam protection and even printed instructions right on the cardboard. It's a nice touch that makes the setup almost foolproof.

I love the brand. I love what they stand for. There's just something about them. And don't take my word for it. I'm going to ask my fellow Prusser owners to verify this in the comments. There's just something about Prusser printers that draws you in. An aura, a certain genocire that compels you to print on a Prussa machine. And when a print finishes, it pulls you straight back in.

Mine prints fine, no different from my core one, except it’s quieter cause it comes with an accelerometer built in to the print head so you can phase step it without needing the extra kit the core one needs

The heated bed alone can raise the internal temperature to as high as 55°, which is great for materials like ABS, ASA, PC, and nylon that require a stable, warm environment. When printing PLA, TPU, or PETG in a fully enclosed machine, you usually need to open the door and top cover. But with the Core 1's dual exhaust fans and vented top design, you can print most materials without opening the encl

Unlike the old “bedslinger” designs, the print bed remains still on the horizontal axes, which allows for faster printing and better print quality.

Today we're looking at the Prusa CORE One! And why this could be the most open printer out there from a user perspective. Spoiler, we're looking at the GPIO board and some other stuff! :)

Although I have to say after using the L for the last few weeks, I kind of feel like it's a nicer size for most people if you can afford it. More about that later. Might as well start with the biggest thing for me on the Core 1L. It is right in front of our eyes. Or it is if you take off the print sheet. This is exactly what it looks like. A very thick slab of aluminum.

Regarding the slicer, we normally use Orca Slicer in the office, but I have obviously been using Prushia Slicer again with the core one, first time in years actually, and I'm pretty happy with it. Normally I don't like manufacturer slicers pushing their own models and hosting sites but because we use printables so much and the slicer just has a window for printables.

Uh, and so far the push core one has made the cut. By the way, this isn't a recommendation or a drecommendation video. I'm just stating how our experience has been over the last 3 months. I have printed a bunch of stuff on the Core 1. It's mostly been PLA, but there's been some TPU and ABS and a little bit of PETG2. First up is what I changed. So, one was the fan grill.

This will make sure everything runs smoothly. This is really what I wanted. Uh I mean for for something that's not a kit, I'm not complaining. Oh, what do we got here? Hardened nozzle. Did not realize. Did not realize that that was an insert style. Maybe it's because I've only had the E3D variations. This is the other. Interesting. Okay. Harden, but I don't think it's high flow. Let's see.

But yeah, we're really really keen to get hold of this, get cracking on with it because I've said it time and time and time again, tool changes are the most efficient and waste limiting component within 3D printing at the moment. This is what every manufacturer should strive for. Get rid of the AMS unit. Get rid of your Race Pro unit.

Zero smell from the Core 1 L. Remarkable. The filter is a separate purchase. The reasoning remains mysterious. Although I'll take the salt separately over Bambu's approach, which was to ship a placebo and call it filtration. It's also quieter than the X1C. Not silent, but quiet enough that I can convince people I'm paying attention during a Zoom meeting.

I built the Prusa Core One from a kit and share the real, unfiltered experience—ordering delays, the multi-day build, the stripped screw disaster, the stellar Prusa support, and the final “first Benchy” moment. If you’re a tinkerer, homelab builder, or desk-setup optimizer who cares about reliability, repairability, and learning your machine inside-out, this one’s for you

And I think they sell it for about 10 or 12 bucks uh because we don't have a lot of parts there, but the functionality this update is going to add is very exciting. So, let's talk about this upgrade. So, first upgrade going to be automating the top vent. Now, this top vent needs to be open and closed. Depends on what material you're printing with and what you're trying to achieve.

The Core One was interesting because I got to build it but required a couple of months of fiddling before it worked consistently. It’s reliable but simple, like my ‘71 Volkwagen Kombi or my Linux workstation. It’s fun to drive but I can’t take it on the highway. The H2D, I pulled out of the box, turned it on and it just works. Like my Tesla or my iPhone.

I really enjoy printing with this thing, but it comes with quite possibly one of the most terrible ways of putting it on a surface. And I'm not even joking. This is real. >> The feet on the machine are lovely. Don't get me wrong. nice and squishy and rubbery and stuff, but the problem is the sticky stuff that they have on these feet don't hold it to the machine worth beans.

On the downside, some of my issues with the Core One persist. I’d really like to see them upgrade the clear panels (to thicker acrylic or better yet glass) and ditch the plastic pop rivets, and the firmware had more crashes than I’d expect (though I’m sure Prusa will have fixed some of these by the time you read this).

10,000 tool changes. I've been counting, and in the 100-plus hours of torture testing the eight-tool Prusa Core One Index Founder's Edition, it hasn't missed once. Not once.

IMO the main drawback of consumer Prusa offerings is the lack of good chamber heating for more advanced materials. I can print PC on my Core One+ in the summer with the chamber at 45℃ (good enough for most uses, but 60 would be better), but in the winter it becomes a lot harder.

When it comes to the raw practical user experience, you know, the things I focus my reviews on, I have to be real and say it's missing a few elements I've come to expect from far more basic printer brands. Yet, for a very particular reason, I've been compelled to come back to this and print more and more on it than most of the printers I've touched recently.

All that aside, I have to wonder if Prusa is losing ground.

My initial impression of the machine was a little lukewarm, but since then there have been some major changes and improvements take place. So today I want to take you through what the last six months with this machine have been like, what I love, what I think could be improved on, and if the improvements that were made were enough for me to now fully recommend this 3D printer.

It can be relaxing. It can be stressful. It can be pure pain or just pure fun. And most importantly, it's always a chance to learn. When you build a Puscha printer, your expectations go up. You expect excellent instructions, smart design choices, and maybe a bit of that classic charm from the Czech Republic.

Prusset does a very good job of this with the fully assembled Core One Plus. The first thing you see when you open the box is your power cord, a description of what the plus upgrades are, a thank you letter along with a parts list, the most important thing in this box, a smooth PEI build plate, a USB flash drive, a 3D printing guide, and a spool of their galaxy black filament.

But I'm not going to take it easy on Prussa because it's been about 6 months since the Core One started shipping. And initially, everybody had nothing but great things to say. All the reviewers said, "This printer is finally something amazing from Prussa." And I didn't really see a ton of the issues that people now are starting to talk about.
