Prusa Research CORE One+ (Gen 2)
Enclosed CoreXY Prusa with load cell leveling, kit or assembled
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 27, 2026
We started tracking this price on Oct 27, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $1,299 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
The CORE One+ is Prusa's enclosed CoreXY printer, with a heated chamber, load cell leveling and screws instead of glue, so it is easy to repair. It suits makers who print ABS, ASA or PC and want an open, serviceable machine with no forced cloud account. Skip it if you are on a tight budget or want multi color out of the box, since $1,299 buys no MMU or camera.
Best for: makers who want an open, repairable enclosed printer. Skip if: you want multi color or a camera included.

What independent reviewers found
- Tested the original CORE One. It ran about 15 to 20% faster than the MK4S and printed a speed Benchy in 28 minutes. A five color MMU3 print took 14 h 32 min with 100 g of waste, versus 20 h 57 min and 264 g on the H2D.
- Tom's Hardware · Editor's Choice
- Tested the original CORE One and called it one of the best printers the reviewer had used. It was quiet in an office and handled ABS and ASA in the enclosure. Missing out of the box multi color and better camera hardware.
