Prusa Core One

For my 80th I got an ELEGOO Centauri Carbon to replace my now ancient ANET A8.
It has a totally enclosed cabinet similar to the Prusa Core One and as you have found getting LW-PLA to stick on the bed can be a problem although it works well with normal PLA.
Is your bed double sided?
Things do stick better using the "smooth" side but the suggested bed temperature is only 30 degrees! This can be an issue as the whole cabinet easily gets to that temperature just from the heat generated by the nozzle! The textured side has no bed temp limit.
Mine being the cheapest version only has a single nozzle although the top of the line has four allowing simultaneous printing in 4 colours or even different types of filament! 

I am amazed that you pulled this off and it got to you with all the bits in place.  I suppose you are hiding it in the open - but what have you done with the MK4S?

I promise not to bring it up on WhatsApp....

I look forward to hearing more about your explorations of the new beastie!

So I saw the Prusa add about free shipping. And shipping would be quite a thing to SA.  And there must have been other things tugging you in the direction of the Core.  Yes the MK4S extruder had been lately frustrating... and what else was going on?  I resisted - in part because of space limitations but also because my MK4S was mostly up the just about anything I needed except for occasional build volume limits.  I am not sure I need to manage multiple filaments yet.

The enclosure gets you more consistent internal temperatures. Kind of like the tent enclosure around my MK4S. Winter temperatures inside your print room I imagine that is a plus. The thing is that ambient temperatures can be rather on the high side come summer so that will be an interesting challenge. I can unzip parts of the 'tent' - is there a option on the Core One to increase ventilation?

The other big difference is the transport mechanics - moving away from your long history with bed slingers you mentioned the surface finish had improved. Would be good to get your impressions.

And we both raved about the speed increase when moving to the MK4S.  For some non-aero models that basically translated into half the time or the ability to go with a finer Z step in the same time. What kind of step change for the Core?

And the other is the build volume - that potentially allows for bigger parts - but many suppliers of STL files have sized their parts for 200 x 200 x 200mm.

Feel free to answer in bits over the next weeks as and when your network connection is stable....  

My Centauri Carbon actually has a slightly bigger print area than the Anet A8. 256x246x256 instead of 250 x250x250 for the Anet.
As far as print speed goes I have to say the provided "Benchy" print file does go like lightning and prints OK but when I set up to the same sort of speeds on an "own design" print the print quality starts to suffer. There is obviously some art to successfully using really high print speeds & acceleration! 

Did I decode your post correctly - the CURA based gcode on the USB stick setup for the Core (which did not print well on the Core) is working well with the MK4?
