Spent all weekend assembling this Core One. It probably took 14 hours in total. 12 hours to build and 2 hours to troubleshoot issues. Broke some parts made some mistakes but I finished the build.

It is the curse of Prusa. It doesn't matter what you buy, the "next great thing" will always be released while you're building the old model, guaranteed. The good news is they almost always have upgrade kids. And the truth is, you actually probably don't really need it.

I actually wasn't bothered at all by the release. The price tag of the L is insane. And the Core One is already pretty insane especially for me as a hobbiest. I spent a long time trying to justify the price.
