The Prusa Core One is $1,000-$1300 USD what do you mean its the same price as a $359 A1? I think Prusa’s days are numbered as they didn’t bother to innovate and instead thought selling $1000 bed slingers would tide them over until the end of eternity. Now they’re scrambling to stay relevant but refuse to bring down their insane pricing.



It doesn’t compete with those higher end machines because it’s twice the price for the same feature set.
More repairable and reliable based on what, your feelings? I can completely understand your dislike for Bambu, but their printers are fantastic for the price. What specific “difficult issues” are you referring to exactly?
I realize the Core One is CoreXY. Maybe you’re new to the scene, but Prusa didnt have a CoreXY machine until years after Bambu had changed the game and every other Chinese company had already cloned them. They were still relying on their MK line selling everyone $300 printers for $1000 back then. Now they’re behind the ball and keep running into delays and issues with their new crop of printers and multi-matetial systems all while continuing to charge premium prices.
I didnt ignore the Elegoo. Your comment directly stated that the Core One was comparable to the A1. The Elegoo printer is actually a better value than both Bambu and Prusa (assuming that its also reliable).
