Same. Ill get the kit’s, but i wont pay more than $1200 with shipping. One of the main reasons I didnt get an xl is printed solid charges an extra $500 and didnt want to deal with customs. I think theres a loophole for the vat that if you just ship the parts and then assemble the product here and sell it here, you get around it. I think thats their ultimate plan.
This is just a guess. Ill research it when I wake up later today.
wow those are pretty crazy shipping costs, i was under the impression that now prusa had warehouses within the US…
here in the EU it’s not the cheapest either, it goes from 50 to 150 euros for me, depending on which courier you choose and the priority level.
oh well i’m just hoping to continue to gather prusameters, and by the time i gather enough that it’ll be available in the rewards section 
Just had a thought. Has anybody actually seen a chamber heater in this thing or are they pulling an x1c with the active chamber control just being the bed heat? Also dont see filtration wtf. Not everybody has a farm setup with ducting. Hope im wrong
You ever feel like you’re loosing your mind? I SWEAR when I read your post I went back to make sure I didn’t do something wrong… and it was still $392. When I saw your screen shot I went back to take a screen shot of my own so I could make a snarky joke about a special Florida man tax… and it was the same as your screen shot!? Anyway, I preordered one. $392 was too much but I’ll do $140. Anyway, it was nice knowing you guys… I’m off to join the Prusa forum so I can associate with others at my level 
~Jealous. Is it a pain dealing with customs or does prusa handle it?
Awesome. I did hear someone mention it will somehow have a filament dryer that fits a side chamber also.
The chambers are mounted with screws, so we may see all kinds of cool mods.
“hepa filter and advanced filtration” sounds great
Not sure, I’ll have to let you know. So far everything I’ve ordered from China was under the value to require the import duties so this is a first for me.
As I understand it, the heated bed is the chamber heater. The “active control” is the exhaust fan that makes sure it doesn’t get too hot.
Thats what I was thinking. They stole x1c marketing. I heard someone say in a video 'that the chambers fill up the voids so that “the bed itself will heat the. chamber to 55c.” Makes sense that they concentrated on cooling if it does keep heat in that well. Kinda lame. I wonder if theyll offer a side chamber heater add on or something. We can always add one ourselves, but i was hoping for a nice one. Ill probably order a k2+ heater and print a left side chamber holder for it.
This thing will come in handy for mods.
Just tried to find the original bambu ad to make sure i wasnt full of **** and couldnt find it. But, bambu needs to clear up what ai says because when I searched, this popped up.
The Bambu X1C features an “actively controlled chamber temperature,” meaning it can precisely maintain a set temperature within the printing chamber, typically reaching up to 60°C, which is particularly useful for preventing warping when printing materials like ABS and PC
Key points about the Bambu X1C chamber temperature:
Also they need to fix this on the bambu website because I know this is wrong. Should be 600 still. Unless noise cancelling lowered it or something.
@PrinterMcgee
Fugured out that the u.s. doesnt charge a VAT but does charge a 4% customs fee for items over $800. Not bad…for now lol
think it is possible to get rid of purge block. Isn’t only needed if you make time lapses?
Altho i would like the option to put a model there to print it instead of purge block. It would be a good option.
Yeah I went on an lengthy search and I found wildly different stories all over the place. I saw people say that they bought the XL and didn’t pay anything, other people claimed they paid a lot. Some people say Fedex will make you pay before they deliver, others said Fedex billed them after delivery. Some people said if they deliver first and bill you just ignore it and nothing happens, other people said they’ll turn you over to collections. One guy on the Prusa forum said the IRS will garnish your wages if you dont pay lol. The worst thing I heard was some delivery companies will add their own fee to the duties due to them paying it for you in advance. 4% is $48 and I’m definitely good with that… so hopefully it will ship early, early January lol.
You can get rid of the purge block for a Bambu as it can purge out the back, into the infill or into a “part”. For a printer without a poop shoot the purge as to go somewhere, either into the part infill, into a purge “part”.
On another note, as there been any information about what kind of chamber lighting the Core One has?
the shipping from prusa is ridiculous compared to Bambu. if i order a Core One. its like $100 to canada + Duty… if i order from bambu… its free lol
I’ve a Mk3s+ that works well enough when I turn it on. Been about 6 months… I don’t expect to buy another expensive Prusa. Nothing I see do I need. I WOULD like to have had a 4 or 5 color XL, but at $3500 PLUS That ain’t gonna happen. EVER. I can buy 2 new X1CC and an additional 2 AMS and have money left over for wasted filament.
Really? In the US an X1C is $35 shipping and $80 tax. An AMS is $18 per unit. I even wrote them once and asked if they would waive the shipping on an AMS if I placed a large order of filament and parts… the just said “No” lol.
Maybe that has changed but shipping a printer from Bambu used to be $30-65 in Canada.
Edit, yup it still is.
In 2017 I bought a $300 delta printer, and it was a frustrating experience. I spent more time configuring and tuning it, than printing.
In 2019 I bought a Prusa MK3 and it was like a whole new world. It ‘just worked’. I felt comfortable that a 98 hour print would complete successfully. The main technology improvements of the Prusa over my previous printer was the auto-bed leveling and the magnetic print bed. With the Prusa I could focus on my designs, not on trying to get my print bed level, or prying parts off a glass build plate.
It took Prusa another 2 years to get the MMU2 out. I and many others struggled with it. Reliably forming the filament tips on retraction is a hard problem to solve. I used the MMU2 for switching spools when one ran out, but using it for a multi-color print that needed more than 100 filament switches just didn’t work reliably. I was never able to complete a long multi-color print without the printer stopping several times due to filament jams or other issues.
Two years ago I got a P1S Combo and haven’t looked back. It “just works”, but now I can say that about multicolor prints as well. The main technology improvements of the Bambu over the Prusa for me were the speed and the AMS. Speed was nice, but as far as I’m concerned, the AMS was the real innovation. Not only could it reliably complete multi-color day long print jobs, but I use it as a filament pool. With the integration of the printer interface into Bambu Studio, the only physical interaction that I have with my P1S is to lift jobs off the print bed, and occasionally add a fresh spool of filament. With the Prusa there were always 3 interactions per print job; loading the filament and unloading the print bed and the filament. And the dry box feature of the AMS lets me feel comfortable about leaving filament in it for weeks, and just picking an available color when I want to print something.
The Core One is a good step for Prusa, but they have yet to deal with the filament management issue. I have an XL and I like it. It may be slower than the P1S for single color prints, but it is much faster for multi-color; at under 10 seconds per color switch, no poop, and a minimal purge tower. But it is still 2019 technology relative to filament management. I need to manually load and unload 5 print heads for multi-color prints. This is a lot of babysitting when I’d much rather be doing other things. Bambu has proved that good filament management technology exists, but Prusa hasn’t appeared to pick up on this yet.
When I finally sold my MK3S I had over 13,000 hours on it, and I felt comfortable selling it because it was still reliable and generating great prints. I put a deposit down on the XL the day after it was announced, but it was over 2 years before it was finally delivered. So far it has proved to be just as reliable as my old MK3. I am still a Prusa fan, but I feel that Bambu has really raised the bar for what one can expect from a modern consumer 3D printer.
Being more interested in printing, than printers, I don’t really care about whether something is open sourced or not. I just want a reliable printer. And ceasing to support the P1S in 2028 is sort of concerning, but given the rate of innovation in the 3D printing industry, I will probably have moved on by then.
Or the community makes it open! Which is more likely to happen, looking at the CFW for the X1C and now slowly the RFID Tags.
The amount of excitement over this printer baffles me. If it were 3 years ago I could see but we are so beyond what is being offered at this price in the current market now. They need premium features for a premium price this is just the premium price and you aren’t gaining really anything but the fact you can say you own a Prusa.
