This looks pretty cool, might pick a kit up if the reviews are also good.
Honestly this is better than I expected from Prusa. They are still playing catch-up but not as far behind as I expected them to end up with their first consumer XY offering. It’s till expensive for what you get (Prusa). It’s too slow compared to competitors. It’s a bit small for the price. They need a new hotend setup. But it definitely maintains the Prusa serviceability. Their MMU is still kind of a DIY joke versus the competitors.
large print volume (250×220×270 mm)
Yeah that’s really not considered a large print volume anymore for consumer printers… It’s only slightly above standard of most printers these days…Hit me with minimum 300x300x300 print area and we can start calling it large build volume.
Price is still too high IMO, it should be €1050 for the assembled printer, not the DIY kit.

Considering the Bambu X1C costs 1050€ I’m surprised they were able to get the kit price down to 1050€ while still manufacturing in the EU.
Looking forward to the reviews to see how they compare.
Aaaaaaaahrg! Guess who recently bought an MK4S and thought “Wish it was a CoreXY, though”?
Edit:
transform your MK4S fully into the CORE One without a single compromise. We are aiming for a release date in March 2025 with the projected price of 449 USD (VAT excl.) / 489 EUR (VAT incl.).
Well, at least there is that…
I saw the video this morning before work. I’m in the same boat as you. Bought a MK4s about 2 months ago. Very happy with it, but I want that CORE One.
The product page says it won’t ship until Jan ‘25, so I’m just gonna be patient and wait for stock to arrive at PrintedSolid in the US. Hopefully they’ll have some by summer. If I still want it that badly I’ll get it. Maybe the urge will pass and I’ll be content with my MK4s.
You can upgrade for like $500.
Just read that as well, but that’s $500 on top plus $300 I “wasted” on the enclosure for the MK4S.
Seems like it’d be better for you to sell your enclosed MK4S and just buy this one as a kit
Yeah, probably.
Temperature controlled chamber.
This is a great feature, for this alone I would love to get one.
Having a temperature controlled chamber AND Prusa profiles to easily set it up is amazing.
Right now I’m avoiding printing stuff in ABS, ASA or Nylon because of that, even though I have an enclosure on the MK4s I often have issues with these material. It’s working but it is not click and forget like PLA or PETG.
Great feature indeed. Here before the stratasys lawsuit lands in Josef’s inbox.
Stratasys patents for a heated chamber expired on 2021.
