large print volume (250×220×270 mm)

Yeah that's really not considered a large print volume anymore for consumer printers.. It's only slightly above standard of most printers these days...Hit me with minimum 300x300x300 print area and we can start calling it large build volume.

Price is still too high IMO, it should be €1050 for the assembled printer, not the DIY kit.

Considering the Bambu X1C costs 1050€ I'm surprised they were able to get the kit price down to 1050€ while still manufacturing in the EU.

Looking forward to the reviews to see how they compare.

You can self source a voron for that amount, and that's without any of the benefits of large scale purchasing like Prusa has. I'm just really not impressed by the price point.

I have a Voron 2.4 right now, and had a Prusa MK3 before that.

It remains to be seen what additional work the kit amounts to. The Prusa XL can be assembled within a few hours while the Prusa MK3 is a day project and the Voron is a multi day project, not even including the time needed to research the different Voron kits.

Assuming it does not lack in features or quality, I think the price for the kit is fair since it includes the full Prusa support, next day shipping for replacement parts and it is made in the EU. The Voron with its flying gantry is dope, but I do sometimes miss being able to just write Prusa about an issue and get replacement parts under warranty in 2-3 days.

A Voron V2.4 for cost of this kit ($950 / 1050 EUR)? Sure buddy.
