Prusa Research has updated its high-end desktop 3D printer lineup . The company is offering new and improved versions of the machines it targets at industrial and power users, with the One , OneL, and XL all receiving upgrades. What’s more, if you run one of these machines, you can purchase an upgrade kit to improve it. This backward compatibility and upgrade path are key advantages of Prusa.

>> 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.

Anyway I have a Prusa Core One 3D printer now that I also love playing with and one thing I been wanting to do is to print some multicolor prints with it. So the Prusa Core One is a single extruder printer, which means it only has 1 filament loaded at any given time. Other printers on the market, like the PrusaXL has 5 extruders, so it can have 5 filaments or colors loaded at the same time.

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.

Prusa's entry into the consumer CoreXY space is a rugged powerhouse. The Prusa Core One+ offers an enclosed 250×220×270 mm build area built with the legendary, bulletproof reliability Prusa is known for. What sets it apart is the open-source ethos and active temperature management. It uses high-grade linear rails and deeply integrates with PrusaSlicer for flawless slicing profiles.

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

G Goodprints3d Article

For GoodPrints readers, the CORE One makes the most sense when your work is starting to punish the limits of open-frame convenience. If your output is getting more functional, more repeatable, more material-sensitive, and more tied to real workflow discipline, this is one of the more meaningful enclosed printers to compare.

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.

Meet the Prusa CORE One+ — named Best Enclosed 3D Printer of 2025 by All3DP Fully enclosed CoreXY design with an all-steel exoskeleton, active chamber temperature control up to 55°C, and factory-tuned profiles for 200+ filaments. Print PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, PC, Nylon and more — all with the door closed.

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.

B Bambu Lab Community Forum skyrippersystems · reviewer · Apr 2026

I would say my biggest comparison note is that overall the Prusa Core One surface finish is significantly more uniform and polished looking. I know in the next H2C update we have some awesome features to look forward to, but I am curious to see if Bambu does some quality tweaks on that side as well.

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.

The results have been very good, overall. They are comparable to what comes off any other well-tuned printer, whether a Voron, VzBot, or a Bambu. I am sure I could tune things a bit more but I’m happy with it.

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.

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

And I can assure you, we have thoroughly abused the machine in the best possible way. Of course, Joseph, don't think for a second that we're like other people that review Prusser products, run them over, throw them off cliffs. Testament to the Czech build quality. Initial unboxing.

H How-To Geek Tim Brookes · reviewer · Mar 2026

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

U UNgineering UNgineering · 1.7K subscribers · Jun 2026

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.

The Prusa Core One is a fantastic printer, packed full of new features from Prusa.

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.

While Prusa printers are reliable, that doesn't mean perfection, and there are plenty of places where users and filament manufacturers can make mistakes. There's probably more they could do with the loadcell and the Buddy camera, and perhaps they could add a few more sensors in the future. Being able to detect failure is something where their competition is admittedly doing a better job.

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.

B Bambu Lab Community Forum Kukuschi · reviewer · May 2026

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.

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.

M Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers Matt Stultz · reviewer · Jan 2026

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

First, let's talk about the specs. The L in Coron L stands for large. And this upgrade finally brings the printer up to 300x300x 330 mm build volume.

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.
