I thought he did. but in rereading his post seems he is just considering it. Looks good to me

Looking forward to it, heard some crying because its not completely open source hardware. They're playing catchup with bambu and creality corexys tho. I have the K1 and its great. I wouldnt hesitate on the prusa, havent seen a price yet tho. Also heard theyre starting to manufacture them in the states now.

After shipping, GST, exchange, and additional courier profit, it's $2K CAD all in - pretty close.
Various Bambu units are half that.
Hey Bambu owners, - how is printing nylon, poly carbonate, etc. on those machines with enclosures?? The Prusa enclosure and good support for those upgraded filament types seems like a good reason to pick the CoreOne. Otherwise the performance bump is hardly better than the MK4, which I have already. It does have a bit bigger print volume.

Still haven't printed nylon but polycarb is a piece of cake if the filament is dry. ABS and ABSGF are easy as well. PLAGF is touchy but again, if it's dry it isn't a problem.
PLAGF... PLA gluten free? :> glass fiber I suppose? I have not tried that type of filament yet.
I'm tempted to buy a Bambu just to see if it's as great as everyone raves. I know without the enclosure PLA is pretty well the only reliable filament. Trouble is I have so many projects that investing time into yet another 3D printer seems kind of a waste of time.
I have a Bambu X1C. What caught my attention with the Core One was the "active chamber temperature control".
When printing some of the materials they do better with a higher compartment temperature. The X1C does not have a compartment heater. You close the door, turn up the heat bed and wait for the compartment to raise in temperature. (I find wrapping the X1C with a blanket helps a lot).
I might have missed it, but does the Core One have an actively heated compartment or is the active temperature control just some fans to keep it cooler for the PLA?
A heated compartment would be the best, however now all your electronics and hardware need to take into account they will be running hotter.
They mention the front door is not glass. With higher temp filaments I have noticed a definite film on the glass and it takes a bit to clean it off. A polycarbonate door might not last.
What both machines need is some type of a ventilation system that is designed and built into the unit so that you can extract the hazardous fumes and vent them outside with out disturbing the chamber temperature. The replacement air is cooler and can cause issues.
Just a couple thoughts about my machine.
I bought the AMS when I purchased. I am not printing dragons and don't really need multiple colors. I have used it to print items with labels printed right into the item. That is useful. The main reason I bought the AMS was that I could finish a roll of filament and have it change automatically to a new roll. The pause and resume on the X1C is very good. Very easy to pause a print, change out an empty roll and continue. No need for the AMS.
The AMS is not air tight. Over the summer I was not using the printer very much. I had left 4 rolls of PLA in the AMS and they had become very brittle. To the point where I tried to print and the filament was just breaking off and not feeding properly. (This was fixed by drying the PLA.) I no longer leave rolls in the AMS after I am done printing. Actually, I hardly use the AMS now. I install a single roll on the back of the machine and use it. This is not a bad thing either. The AMS units do wear out over time. No need running the single filament I am using from the AMS down to the machine.
Other then that I have been very happy with the unit. It is not a print and play unit yet. Well maybe with PLA, but when you start using some of the more exotic materials there is a still a bit of common sense required and some trouble shooting/learning. Those that have put in the time with early units will find this a dream. Those just starting out will have their successes and also be just as discouraged.

I had to rewire the controls for an old lathe I purchased. After installing the proper crimps there was not enough room in the custom wooden control box that was built in 1967. What is a guy to do?
