Tbf, when you say #Prusa Loyalists. I'm not saying you're wrong; but I do feel like there's a lot of valid reasons why someone would prefer buying a prusa machine. They're the most open source 3D printing company around. They provide insanely long firmware updates. The customer support is excellent. It's built in Europe. They're upgradeable.
All of these things have costs associated with them. And for a lot of people including myself, that's a cost i'm willing to pay

@3dprinting I printed some stands. (The stand is on Printables among the remakes of the model I posted above).

The left two are Overture Rock White PLA with fuzzy skin with a Bambu Iron Gray Metallic PLA cap (not fuzzy). The right two are all Iron Gray Metallic (not fuzzy).

Two 3D printed hearts on 3D printed display stands. There are two extra stands. The colors and materials are as described.

@mountdiscovery don't get me wrong, Bambu is doing cool stuff.... but after they pulled that cloud shit (and yes... this one can update without needing the cloud and stuff... but they lost my trust).

I'm all in on #Prusa .It's European. They have insanely long support for parts and software. Great support.
(and I'll be honest, I don't need a laser...
Cutting.. maybe but barely.
And dual print heads.... nice I guess, but I can live without)

@3dprinting Today I decided to print a nameplate for my not-really-new printer.

I have impostor syndrome when it comes to graphic design -- I have no confidence in my work. Anyway, this is what I made. I might change it in large or small ways later. The font is Typo Angular Rounded Bold.

(Printed on the other printer that has the MMU, of course.)

🧵 16/N

A Prusa MK4S printer is inside an IKEA LACK enclosure. On the upper right corner of the enclosure, the nameplate says Phœnix in orange letters. The letterforms are oddly modern. The nameplate background is a dark honeycomb, and several random honeycomb edges are outlined in orange.
A close-up of the nameplate shows that it has a two-layer honeycomb background. Small infill honeycomb in dark gray, and a larger pattern in matte black. The orange letters and lines have been ironed smooth. The "OE" letters in "Phoenix" are a ligature. The nameplate exactly fits the 50mm thickness of the IKEA LACK tabletop.

I know the icon on the bottom of this screen is meant to depict the nozzle of the printer, but my brain keeps seeing it as a plant instead. Specifically, a Muncher from various Mario games. Or maybe a snake.

Photo of the display panel on the Prusa CORE One 3D printer. There are many icons visible, but the first one on the bottom row is the focus and it's surrounded by a green rectangle. The icon is a line drawing of a white "v" meant to indicate a nozzle, and a squiggly line of orange underneath meant to be extruded filament. Overlaid on the bottom of the photo are three Munchers from a Mario game. They are plants with orange leaves and a "v" shaped mouth in a round black head with one white eye visible. The shape of the nozzle icon bears a passing resemblance to a Muncher.

Just had my first experience with customs duties. Not related to [gestures at everything], but because the Prusa CORE One cost is over the $800 de minimis threshold.

I expected it, since it was in their KB: help.prusa3d.com/article/vat-v

FedEx made it super easy. They sent me a bill, I paid the bill online.

For the curious:

Customs Duty: $38.63
Disbursement Fee: $14
Total: $52.63

Factor that into any purchasing decisions if you're in the US.

Been battling with the new #prusa printer - never quite happy with the print quality using Prusament filament with Prusa Slicer and the correct Prusament profile.
After having fiddled with setting after setting, it turned out it was all down to retraction and the incredibly optimistic setting in the profile. Final tweak and print quality is up where I'd expect it.

I'm sure this hyperfixation will subside before too long. Maybe? Bear with me a bit longer.

Here are some thermal camera images of the core one inside and outside the case. Some of the external stuff is reflection not surface temp but it's still interesting.

Of course I forgot to set it to C, and it's not printing now, so these will have to do.

There's a laptop to the right of it blowing exhaust toward the printer, so that's what that flare is off the side.

Thermal camera image of the inside of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the print head/extruder, the hotend fan, exhaust fans, some wiring, and the print bed. The print bed is orange, indicating it is warm (~125F/50C). The hotend is bright yellow near the tip, indicating it is very hot (346F/175C). The background is purple indicating it is cooler (76-82F/25-28C).
Thermal camera image of the outside front of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the print head/extruder, the hotend fan, labels, the control box, a vent on the top. The top part of the printer where the heat bed and hotend are is red/orange/yellow indicating it is warm (80-100F/27-37C). The lower part of the chamber and the side pillars are cooler, closer to 70F/21C. The control box screen at the bottom is also orange/yellow. There is another yellow area off to the lower right which is exhaust from a nearby laptop.
Thermal camera image of the external right side of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the filament spool, and reflections of some nearby unrelated items. The whole side and top is yellow/orange, which in this image is 80-100F/27-37C
Thermal camera image of the external rear and left sides of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the power supply and control board enclosures, plus some nearby unrelated items such as tools and computer equipment. The visible parts of the printer are primarily side is red/orange, which in this image is 80-90F/27-32C. The power supply is more yellow, which is closer to 100F/37C.

I'm not sure I ever successfully printed anything close to this in this orientation on a bed slinger, but this handled it without breaking a sweat.

It's a magnet dispenser for 5x3mm magnets. Of course the original reason I got this size of magnets is no longer relevant, but I have them, so I'll make use of them.

Baron Harkonnen has some concerns about the velocity of this printer!

(I don't, he's fine)

These models are on a shelf at the top of a desktop rack sitting next to the printer. The desk is a VERY heavy solid wood old "teacher's" desk from a college surplus sale. I can only imagine how much a table with less mass would shake, but this is fine.

Especially since I don't plan on printing this fast, I'm just having fun to start with.

It didn't take nearly as long as I expected for the Prusa Core One to get here once it shipped (Thursday in CZ/EU to Monday in US via FedEx, not DHL). Have a few more hours of work before I can crack it open, though. I can at least confirm that the handles on the box are as nice as people say.

I moved the old CR-10S to the car to be donated (tomorrow), so there is a large open space on a desk for it later.

Obligatory stupid/boring picture of a box.

Photo of a very large cardboard box. There is text in large bold letters reading "Prusa Core One" and a line drawing of the printer. Some tape is visible warning to check the integrity of the tape before accepting the package.
