Prusa Research launches DIY assembly kits for their enclosed CoreXY Core One 3D printer, offering enhanced features and upgrade options for MK4S owners.

If you’ve been eyeing a snazzy new CoreXY printer, here’s some exciting news: Prusa Research has just dropped their highly anticipated Core One assembly kits, and they’re more than just another 3D printer release.

Priced at a competitive $949, these DIY kits pack quite a punch with a generous 250 x 220 x 270 mm build volume, all wrapped up in a fully enclosed design. What’s particularly interesting is how this new machine manages to outshine its predecessor, the MK4S, while cleverly incorporating many of the same trusted components.

But here’s where it gets even better for existing Prusa enthusiasts – if you’re already rocking an MK4S, you won’t be left out in the cold. A clever $449 upgrade kit lets you transform your current printer into a Core One. Sure, it’ll take some elbow grease with the full kinematic conversion, but you’ll end up with a more compact machine that boasts a bigger build volume and zippier performance.

Early signs from pre-assembled units are turning heads with impressive results, though we’re still waiting to put it through its paces for a comprehensive review. The timing couldn’t be better – recent polls showed that 35% of potential buyers were specifically waiting for these kits to drop before making their move.

For those ready to jump in, shipping is expected to kick off in March. So, if you’re an experienced maker or wanting to elevate your 3D printing levels, you can find all of the nitty-gritty details and place an order via Prusa’s official website.
