Prusa CORE One+ Gen 2 and CORE One L+ confirmed shipping August 14; XL+ assembled machines targeted late August
Prusa announced the CORE One+ Gen 2, CORE One L+, and XL+ on August 12, saying assembled CORE One+ Gen 2 and CORE One L+ printers would ship immediately while assembled XL+ printers would follow later in August. Assembled CORE One+ Gen 2 and CORE One L+ machines began shipping August 14, three days after the announcement. The XL+ assembled machine is still targeted for late August per the original announcement timeline. Prusa says open unshipped orders for the original CORE One+, CORE One L, and XL are being upgraded automatically to the refreshed versions. Owner upgrade kits for current owners have not yet published dates or prices, with CORE One+ rollout coming first and CORE One L+ and XL+ kits targeted around late August through early September.
The shipping split means CORE One+ Gen 2 and CORE One L+ buyers who ordered at announcement should have delivery underway or imminent. XL+ buyers should track the official product page for the assembled ship date. Current owners still waiting on upgrade-kit details should not order the Gen 2 upgrade if they have an INDX Conversion Kit on order; Prusa said it plans a separate INDX update and will communicate separately for those customers.
