For example, and I know is very niche, but I wanted to fix an issue with their app (I am an app dev), to discover that it isn't FOSS like the slicer.

Also as a CAD aficionado, I would love to get the actual step files and not just STLs.

But don't get me wrong, none of these was a blocker for me to get a MK4S.

I am also not sure if I will upgrade to CORE, but that's another story.

@cyberwolfie I am happy MK4S owner and would recommend the CORE, but some considerations:

- Print volume IS small. Not having at least 250x250 x/y has been a step back from my previous printer.
- The platform is less open than I wished (or, better said, than they make us believe).
- I'd recommend getting the kit so you will get to know the printer better. However, CORE's build process difficulty is yet to be seen. I built my own MK4S and it was a fun weekend project.
