Hey gang, I'm on the fence about ordering a Prusa Core One. I have a mk3 and love it but I'm ready for an upgrade. Anyone here have any experience with a Voron 2.4 though?

Right now I have the mk3 and a Kobra Max. The Max is OK for big stuff and I could pass on the mk3 if I got the One. But I could probably get by with just a 300x300 Voron.

My concern is that is it more a project than a go-to printer? I got a lot of that out of my system with my first printer, an AnetA8. That was more upgrading and tuning than printing. It was fun and I learned a whole lot, and I recommend a path like that to anyone interested in doing more than plug and print. But at this point I have more interest in printing than tinkering. And I still get a lot of that with the Max anyway.

But a core xy that's 300x300 does have an appeal. And the Vorons are pretty sexy looking too.

Mk4s owner here and I'm super unhappy with the output of my factory assembled mk4s, due to a consistent first layer problem. The mk4s is related to the core 1 as far as I know as the "next gen".

Prusa seems to be aware of the issue, but I feel they are still messing around greatly with any kind of actual solution to the problem, that actually led me to pulling the pin on any work purchases from Prusa at all.

I actually got sent a second factory assembled mk4s as a "make good", and the new unit had the exact same problem, right out of the box...

If I had my time again, I wish I'd have gone the Voron in some kind of pre-packed kit form...
