- Our score: 6.5 out of 10
- Price: $1,299 (checked Oct 27, 2026)
- Status: on sale
- Best for: makers who want an open, repairable enclosed printer
- Skip if: you want multi color or a camera included
- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/prusa-core-one-plus/

## Verdict

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.
