The CORE One+ matches Bambu CoreXY speed (600 mm/s) while keeping everything open source — firmware, hardware, slicing profiles.
Unlike Bambu's closed ecosystem, every component of the CORE One+ can be modified, repaired, or community-improved.
Existing MMU3 units and the new MMU3 for CORE One bring 5-color multicolor printing to the CoreXY platform.
7 linear rails, 4 independent Z motors with Quad-Gantry Leveling, and a flying CoreXY gantry — the core architecture of the Voron 2.4, pre-assembled and ready to print.
Ships with Klipper pre-configured with Input Shaper, Pressure Advance, adaptive mesh bed leveling, and Obico remote monitoring — no configuration required to start printing.
One of the largest open-frame CoreXY build volumes at this price tier. The AC-powered bed heats quickly and handles ABS, ASA, PC, and PA with a 300°C capable hotend.
