[@michaelbraaten]

Never mind, I’m dumb. I didn’t see the December 2nd deadline.

[@LordWiseWolf]

I’m excited for the core one. Going to wait for reviews and what Bambu’s next printer is. But super excited for the products coming in 2025. Going to be a good year.

Seems the rest of the competition saw how Bambu was performing, glad the 3D printer competition is healthy. Competition breeds innovation

[@pfeerick]

And even better, from the interview with the Bambu Labs CEO it looks like they are still hard at work on the next generational jump, so more good stuff ahead :)

[@LordHolley]

100%!

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

"Seems the rest of the competition saw how 'VORON' was performing" ... as Bambu Lab did when they "got inspired" by them, Klipper, CoreXY and Input Shaping. "Competition breeds innovation" ... yepp, especially in repairability and open source firmware unlike Bambu uses. I like that Prusa and Sovol keep on going and brands like Anycybic offer a really good price/ performance.

[@RushimaV]

@hassosigbjoernson5738 no one cares about Voron making it first, only the people who popularized it. Stop trying to make Voron work

[@William3DP]

Thank you for sharing your Formnext experience. One trend that I am seeing is that the consumer level 3D printing industry is finally putting some effort into making printers that can handle stronger, more heat-resistant 'engineering' type materials. In particular, I am especially gratified that we are seeing more printers with heated, temperature controlled enclosures. I am also impressed with the new stronger materials that some of the filament manufacturers are coming up with. I think that consumer level 3D printing is taking some big steps into giving people the ability to print parts that are stronger and more heat resitant, rather than items that are purely decorative.

[@AtomicBleach]

Truly surprised that the Filament2 tube with paste filament wasn't featured. Honestly this is the most exciting thing I saw. Finally consumer based printers will be able to print silicon and epoxy prints. This will truly be able to unlock a standard 3d printers capabilities with very little modification (new nozzle)

@@ivonakis Good point regarding minor fixes that can be necessary after the release.

[@thenextlayer]

Agreed. I hope this brings Prusa back into the conversation and stops people predicting their death. Feels like they’re back.

[@ghostmastergaming7269]

For the record Bambu now has TPU-HF for the AMS/AMS Lite so you can do multi-color TPU right now with that. The color selection is somewhat limited but my first few prints on an A1 using the default filament preset came out near-perfect. I even left it out for a day on the AMS lite and printed again with very little stringing and otherwise zero issues.

[@colin.manuel]

Your soldering skills are epic! Great video as always

[@spartan001zadkiel]

Thank you for this video. I was losing my mind trying to find anything on the SV08-mini and thought I was losing my mind. I'm definitely going to grab one and one of those BTT MMU units when they release

[@thenextlayer]

Glad I could help!

[@RazaXML]

im actually really glad prusa was so far behind the game. if they had come out with the core printer even 6 months earlier i probably would have bought one and never found out how good bambu really is.

[@honkhonk8009]

yea ikr. Just got a clog today cus of shitty petg. But it was prolly the only cancerous thing cus getting the filament out of the extruder is just more effort than need be. But overall its a great printer.

[@diepurpledino]

Just got my FLSUN S1 Pro... holy crap it is HUGE. I'm calling it "The Fridge". Also, this is the ideal printer for cattle farmers in cold climates, as the styrofoam packing makes a terrific fully-insulated watering trough.

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

I really hope Sovol catches on to the developments of VORON and PRUSA! A new SV08 where the filament spool is hidden like with the Core One and a filament cutter is integrated like with the VORON toolhead really would be next level. That combines with a BTT AMS or Creality CFS unit and open Klipper would be awesome!

[@greyvlad]

All that I want a Core XY that is budget friendly and freaking quiet... I want to put this in my living room and blend that with the furniture, while not sounding like I'm an episode of a Sci-Fi dystopian, Steampunk series.

[@jabug_1144]

I just got the mk4s kit as my first 3D printer, and now I’m excited to eventually perform the core one upgrade when that becomes available. And the wait should give my bank account time to heal lol

[@easymac79]

15:30 I bought a Flashforge Creator Pro 2 ( 2 independent extruders). I got it for $180, "unrepaired return". I did have to do some troubleshooting and re-pin a motor but the machine is AMAING! I have a couple Voxelab Aries by the same company and they are so reliable. I cannot imagine how incredible the AD5X must be. And that price point is within my range I will probably stop trying to mod every printer to be multi filament. BTW, the Creator Pro 2 can do TPU just fine. I rarely print anything that doesn't use TPU. The only reason I need a second filament is to add rigidity in certain places, but TPU is almost always used. There is rarely a time where the flex and indestructibility of TPU is not important, but often the need for a rigid frame or back plane to mount screws through.

[@gamerknight7779]

The cobra max with a mutlifilament set up is great. Being able to have multiple filaments loaded for a huge print so you don’t have to worry about running out is such a peace of mind win

[@thenextlayer]

Oh that’s very true. Didn’t think of that.

[@ruiztulio]

This is a genuine question...why the excitement with the prusa core xy? They are just catching up with the industry, there is no innovation in that printer. I just wish they presented something with innovation as they used to instead of "wait a minute, let me catch my breath".

[@thenextlayer]

There’s lots of innovation. Cutting out build volume in the chamber to reach 55C inside without a heater is innovative. The 70-80 degree overhang without an auxiliary fan is innovative. It isn’t revolutionary, but there are some cool innovations there. I’m excited about it because it will be a no frills machine that just works, but which can print exotic materials.

[@oneletterlon]

I made a video on that question, you should check it out. But mainly it’s not a bambu clone, it’s going to revive prusa and get them out of obsolescence, and the overhangs and non pla prints will be better.

[@honkhonk8009]

@@thenextlayer They should advertise 70-80 degree overhangs more. So it can print practically horizontally?????

[@logicalfundy]

Well, people have been asking Prusa to make a printer like this for a long time. Should have good dimensional accuracy, should have excellent overhang performance, should have excellent temperature control, uses a color system that has far less waste than the competition, should be a solid machine overall. Owners of Mk4S machines can rebuild them into a Core One with a conversion kit. Prusa machines tend to be more about attention to detail and appealing to makers.

[@rob_over_9000]

@@logicalfundyIt doesn’t use any color system yet, nor does it come with one at that price. The only thing they have going for them is some semblance of open source and not being Bambu…

some interesting new products coming to the market. Fiber reinforced TPU and High temp filament dryers are top of my list.

Any company that fails to deliver on their Kickstarter should not be showing off and selling products at conventions.

[@realgoose]

@@thenextlayer well in principle the sentiment is still true. Any company that uses Kickstarter to fund themselves and fails to fulfill their promises… then uses that funding to produce products and sell them at full retail price should be prosecuted.

[@BeefIngot]

Anycubic having proprietary firmware sounds like klipper but locked. With Bambulab they have elements that don't exist exist in klipper and can't due to the way klipper works, but are we supposed to believe Anycubic made an entire firmware when their other systems run on klipper and look the same? The AMS units with dryers seem great though if integrated and controllable through the interface rather than just with physical controls.

[@thenextlayer]

Agreed on all counts

[@coledavidson5630]

5:39 i am very much going to keep an eye on this one, i hope it will be compatible with a variety of klipper printers

[@DalePoole]

Great video! I'm not in a buying situation right now, but I still like to see where the market is going. It's especially interesting to watch the upgrade market continue to grow. In a few years when I'm prepared to buy a new printer, it's going to be something fantastic!

[@rickh6963]

Thanks for the updates .... Stay safe over there!

[@morgantrevino4881]

If the Sovol SV08 Mini comes in at $299 I will buy at least two of them. Easily the printer I’m most excited about currently.

[@rowndo]

Anycubic releasing the K3 Plus while the K3 have so many issues is not great news...looking at you first layer. The Prusa One is pretty neat, building it is a plus, you know it's well built and you'll know how to fix everything on it. BIQU releasing a chamber heater for the P1 and X1 would be a game changer. Love your channel by the way. Cheers

[@EpicBenjo]

[@frankiebigrings7048]

[@MumrikDK]

Yeah, I don't care about AMS-like systems. All I need is two heads.

[@pfeerick]

Looks like it is quite possible... it seems they have a patent up for a two head printer (CN118386550A), with a picture of a A1 connected to 2 AMS lite units... it's all in Chinese (since it's a Chinese patent! 😆), so not entirely sure what the end goal is just yet... but still food for thought...

[@ryankelly7406]

Hi what is your favorite printer

[@mz2984]

I'm looking forward to getting the core one upgrade kit for my MK4S. I love my MK4S (it's my first printer), and I was saving up to get an enclosure for it to print the more engineering grade materials. But now this new printer is out, I'll wait for the upgrade kit in spring next year.

[@ThisisDD]

Core One looks great, just needs a reliable, more compact, and ready to use out of the box version of the MMU and it'll be worth purchasing.

[@thenextlayer]

It works with the MMU3. Forgot to mention that.

[@MickBasterd]

I bought an FLSUN T1 a couple weeks ago, as my very first 3D printer. I'd be curious to see your thoughts the S1 pro when it releases!

[@RCBound]

Just printed my first tpu 95 part and that tpu-cf sounds very appealing. Also the PPS-CF, already almost ordered some PETG-CF. Just got my P1S a week ago and need hardened nozzles still, not going to do the diamond nozzle just yet as not really needed. My waterjet uses ruby or diamond orifices, $40 vs $400 respectively, but the ruby may last well up to 8+hrs of cutting. More prone to random premature blowouts/chipping. The diamond last way way longer and have never had a blowout with one, the water stream just stays so much more focused for way longer. Maybe not 10x longer but not swapping them so often or causing an issue with scrapping a job is worth it.

[@eigerdesign1151]

Great Channel, so do you think we will see a "Core Two" with two heads? Why is no one looking at the XL and coming with smaller 2 or 3 headed versions? I have long lusted the XL but its just too big and don't need 5 heads (ever)... Interested in your thoughts.

[@thenextlayer]

Up next will be bigger variants of core one. Like, early 2025.

[@hellfighter67]

About formfutura, I personally love their refill line of pla, it's good price and prints very good imo. Also u can try their Apollo X which is an ASA that prints a bit easier than regular ASA. I never printed with regular ASA so I can't compare but I do like the Apollo X. Although I really don't like their petg, it absorbs a lot of water 😅

[@flamestrider605]

Very nice and informative, just one thing. I don’t disagree with you on the flashforge being the first to offer multicolor TPU printing, but just for note, Bambu has just released TPU for AMS, which is a fairly rigid TPU that softens when it comes out of the nozzle. Pretty cool stuff.

[@bjaurelio]

5:57 this should be interesting. I saw an announcement about it right after pre-ordering my box turtle kit. Given how long before it's going to be ready, I'll be happy to have something matching my printer a bit earlier.

[@technicallyreal]

Fiberlogy doesn't have that PETG+Teflon on their site yet but that would be a game-changer for the product we sell

[@aneeleijaz4050]

I'm waiting if any company that would make a 350mm cube core xy with drybox multicolor, active heating chamber and at a budget price of around 600. It will be the perfect sweet spot imo and would probably make competition sweat. Anycubic can easily do this but opted to do 250mm for some reason and would just have to add a chamber heater.

[@thenextlayer]

What you’re describing is the K2 plus except it’s much more expensive. I don’t think that price is realistic, considering shipping such a large machine.

[@aneeleijaz4050]

@ seeing the anycubic s1 combo at 550 starter price makes me believe such a price point is possible. I think 300mm would be decent too for the cosplay helmets.

[@TomsPropertyCare]

I for one want to welcome Prusa's Core One to 2022!!!

[@DaveBuildsThings]

I've owned many different printers on the market. Too many to mention. So far my Bambu Lab P1S is my go to printer if I want something printed in less time and with great quality and no fuss. I call it my replicator. We'll have to see how well these other printers will compare to it. And I've always wanted a print volume large enough to print things not so much in height but in length and width. I wonder if any printer company would consider that idea. Say 600mm x 600mm x 250mm? Just a thought as that size would cover all of my DIY needs.

[@flow5171]

Just ordered a K2 Plus but now i saw the Kobra S1 whats much cheaper. i dont find many infos about the Kobra S1. Would you guys recommend it?

[@PAGrunt]

Happens to me every…single…time I buy tech. I decided to get into the hobby finally, did a bunch of research, and settled on, and just bought a X1C. And then Prusa puts this out 😂. The bigger build area would have made me wait for it in a few months.

[@calyodelphi124]

After the Not Great™ experience I've had trying to get my Anycubic Kobra 2 to work properly, I'm very disinclined to look at anything that they're rolling out anytime soon. Their proprietary firmware is an inscrutable black box, with the only accessible configuration setting I can tweak being the z-offset and THAT'S IT. I would not be surprised if their new printers use the same "not quite a volcano" style nozzle that has the same length barrel above the nut but shaves the top 1-2mm of threads and a tiny bit of the barrel off to make it proprietary and physically incompatible with true blue volcano nozzles.

[@redtalks4425]
