Prusa Core One Build Volume: 250 x 220 x 270 mm Price: 1199 USD assembled, 949 USD kit

Bambu Lab P1S Build Volume: 256 x 256 x 256 mm Price: 699 USD assembled (549 USD during sales)

The nice features of the Prusa Core One is that it comes with an ethernet port and an integrated NFC reader. However, the bed camera, chamber filter, and hotend accelerometer are all "optional addons." All of those come standard on the Bambu Lab P1S.

At that price, the Prusa is a hard sell. I'd rather get two of the Bambu printers, or one printer combo with AMS.

I am so happy there will be upgrade kits to the core from the mk4s.

My first 3d printer was an mk4 a year ago, and I’ll get to ride along for two generations of upgrades so far.

The CORE One S in a year will probably be a really nice printer. Looking forward to it :)

Hackaday also has an article up talking about how Prusa Core has dropped its' open hardware hardware licensing seen in other Prusa products.
