Just had my first experience with customs duties. Not related to [gestures at everything], but because the Prusa CORE One cost is over the $800 de minimis threshold.

I expected it, since it was in their KB: help.prusa3d.com/article/vat-v

FedEx made it super easy. They sent me a bill, I paid the bill online.

For the curious:

Customs Duty: $38.63
Disbursement Fee: $14
Total: $52.63

Factor that into any purchasing decisions if you're in the US.

I'm sure this hyperfixation will subside before too long. Maybe? Bear with me a bit longer.

Here are some thermal camera images of the core one inside and outside the case. Some of the external stuff is reflection not surface temp but it's still interesting.

Of course I forgot to set it to C, and it's not printing now, so these will have to do.

There's a laptop to the right of it blowing exhaust toward the printer, so that's what that flare is off the side.

Thermal camera image of the inside of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the print head/extruder, the hotend fan, exhaust fans, some wiring, and the print bed. The print bed is orange, indicating it is warm (~125F/50C). The hotend is bright yellow near the tip, indicating it is very hot (346F/175C). The background is purple indicating it is cooler (76-82F/25-28C).
Thermal camera image of the outside front of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the print head/extruder, the hotend fan, labels, the control box, a vent on the top. The top part of the printer where the heat bed and hotend are is red/orange/yellow indicating it is warm (80-100F/27-37C). The lower part of the chamber and the side pillars are cooler, closer to 70F/21C. The control box screen at the bottom is also orange/yellow. There is another yellow area off to the lower right which is exhaust from a nearby laptop.
Thermal camera image of the external right side of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the filament spool, and reflections of some nearby unrelated items. The whole side and top is yellow/orange, which in this image is 80-100F/27-37C
Thermal camera image of the external rear and left sides of the Prusa Core One 3D printer. Some detail is visible, such as the power supply and control board enclosures, plus some nearby unrelated items such as tools and computer equipment. The visible parts of the printer are primarily side is red/orange, which in this image is 80-90F/27-32C. The power supply is more yellow, which is closer to 100F/37C.

I'm not sure I ever successfully printed anything close to this in this orientation on a bed slinger, but this handled it without breaking a sweat.

It's a magnet dispenser for 5x3mm magnets. Of course the original reason I got this size of magnets is no longer relevant, but I have them, so I'll make use of them.

Baron Harkonnen has some concerns about the velocity of this printer!

(I don't, he's fine)

These models are on a shelf at the top of a desktop rack sitting next to the printer. The desk is a VERY heavy solid wood old "teacher's" desk from a college surplus sale. I can only imagine how much a table with less mass would shake, but this is fine.

Especially since I don't plan on printing this fast, I'm just having fun to start with.

It didn't take nearly as long as I expected for the Prusa Core One to get here once it shipped (Thursday in CZ/EU to Monday in US via FedEx, not DHL). Have a few more hours of work before I can crack it open, though. I can at least confirm that the handles on the box are as nice as people say.

I moved the old CR-10S to the car to be donated (tomorrow), so there is a large open space on a desk for it later.

Obligatory stupid/boring picture of a box.

Photo of a very large cardboard box. There is text in large bold letters reading "Prusa Core One" and a line drawing of the printer. Some tape is visible warning to check the integrity of the tape before accepting the package.
