Prusa CORE One 3D Printer Serves as Foundation of New Line

The Prusa CORE One 3D printer was introduced by Prusa 3D at Formnext 2024. 

The Prusa CORE One has a notably different design compared to previous desktop 3D printers from Prusa Research.

“Open-frame 3D printers are still an excellent choice for many uses, such as printing the most commonly used materials like PLA and PETG,” says Josef Prusa, CEO of Prusa Research.

The first units of the Prusa CORE One are set to ship to customers in January 2025. Pre-orders are now open on Prusa3D.com.

The Prusa CORE One uses a CoreXY kinematic system, reportedly offering faster speeds and a more compact design compared to the MK series, according to Prusa Research. Despite being 30% smaller than the MK4S, it reportedly has a 30% larger build volume.

With its fully enclosed chamber and active chamber temperature control (up to 55 °C), the Prusa CORE One is made for printing advanced materials while maintaining compatibility with materials like PLA and PETG.

“It’s ironic that many manufacturers recommend printing PLA and PETG with the printer doors open, which contradicts the concept of an enclosed chamber,” adds Prusa.

The Prusa CORE One is equipped with advanced safety measures, including a door sensor.

“While the CORE One may look different, it still adheres to our philosophy—it’s robust, reliable, and built to last for years," says Prusa. "Users can still disassemble it with just a screwdriver. Nothing is glued or welded. We know our users love to modify their printers,” Prusa emphasized.
