I’m really excited that I can finally unveil the new Prusa CORE One! Not just here, with text and a 10-minute video deep dive, but also live at FormNext in Frankfurt. So if you’re visiting, stop by our booth at Hall 12.1 / stand G39. We’d love to see you and show you our new flagship machine!
The CORE One is a fully enclosed CoreXY 3D printer with active temperature control. It’s a machine focused on quality and speed, and it’s extremely rugged. You can find the complete list of technical specifications on the product page, but let me give you a detailed insight first.
With the CORE One, you won’t need one printer for fast prototypes, another for demanding materials, and yet another for great dimensional accuracy – it’s a versatile, all-in-one machine. It has a compact footprint but a large print volume (250×220×270 mm), and there are plenty of clever design choices, e.g. an exoskeleton design for maximum firmness and robustness. One of the standout things is that it allows you to print PLA and PETG with closed doors – which is not as common as you might think. We poured all our knowledge from developing the XL, AFS, and even HT90 into it and I’m pretty sure you’ll be as excited as we are! 🙂 Shipping starts in January 2025!
Now, the important thing here is that the CORE One is designed to live alongside the MK4S, it’s not supposed to be its successor and we will continue manufacturing and supporting the MK4S with firmware updates and even additional accessories, such as a USB-C camera for print monitoring. If you mainly print with PLA and PETG, an open-frame printer is an excellent choice (I’ll get to the how and why in a minute). The CORE One is the first of a new product line, hence the different name. I know we released the MK4S quite recently, but with Black Friday deals and Xmas coming, we wanted to announce our new machine ahead of these events, so there are no sudden surprises coming a few days after you unpack your MK4S you got for the holidays. Unveiling it at Formnext was the best possible opportunity.
