In fairness, they never said a 2.4.

Is there a different current version that would be better to compare against the Prusa?

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The trident is probably a more fair comparison given that both it and the CORE One use 3x lead screws to move (and presumably level) the bed.

You can get a 300mm^3 LDO trident kit for $1,200, which appears to be the price of the Prusa. You can of course go cheaper (formbot for $690 with a V6 hot end) and more expensive (a custom BOM in a box from say West3d that starts at $1,300).
