I’m really excited that I can finally unveil the new Prusa CORE One! Not just here, with text and a 10-minute video deep dive, but also live at FormNext in Frankfurt. So if you’re visiting, stop by our booth at Hall...
The trident is probably a more fair comparison given that both it and the CORE One use 3x lead screws to move (and presumably level) the bed.
You can get a 300mm^3 LDO trident kit for $1,200, which appears to be the price of the Prusa. You can of course go cheaper (formbot for $690 with a V6 hot end) and more expensive (a custom BOM in a box from say West3d that starts at $1,300).
A Voron V2.4 for cost of this kit ($950 / 1050 EUR)? Sure buddy.
In fairness, they never said a 2.4.
Is there a different current version that would be better to compare against the Prusa?
