Prusa3D Core One assembled from kit ( https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one-kit/ ) in roughly 36 hours, including 5 hours of sleep and frequent toddler-herding

Quite fun and satisfying

I did make a few mistakes, but wholly my own, and avoidable by reading the actual instructions

Benchy test print (15 minutes) is complete, so I guess I can start planning holiday show-bag gifts for nieces and nephews

    My old SV06 at home often had better bed adhesion than the same prints on a Prusa MK4S at work. The SV07 Plus had the bigger bed I wanted, but it didn’t print as well as the 6. Lots of large failed prints and layer quality issues.

    But now you have the next adventure opportunity: 3D printing quality of life upgrades for the printer!

    I recommend looking into the ball bearing spool holder, the skadis organization mods for the left side alcove, purge bin, filament guide, vent handle, and more. Printables has a whole bunch of useful options.

      Yeah, the benefit of getting a popular model is that there is an ecosystem around the Core One

      I do plan on using the Core One to print some improvements for the SV06 ACE, mostly alternative chassis that allows for larger and much quieter fans

      I’m so impressed with how much quieter the Core One is
