How the two machines differ on paper: build volume, process, enclosure, nozzle temperature, launch year and the materials each manufacturer names. This is a specification comparison, not a hands-on test.

Published specifications don't settle print quality, reliability or noise. Compare the exact configuration, bundled accessories, regional price and support with each manufacturer, and check that the materials you need are supported on the configuration you'd buy.

Original enclosed CoreXY model in the CORE One family.
The announcement describes active chamber-temperature control and an enclosure intended to accommodate PLA/PETG operation with the doors closed. This is the original CORE One generation; later plus variants retain their separate records. The monitoring camera was introduced as an option.
Full sourced profileEnclosed filament printer with a 256 mm nominal cubic build volume.
The P1S specification lists a plastic-and-glass enclosure, an auxiliary part-cooling fan, a chamber-regulator fan and a control-board fan. These distinguish its configuration from the open-frame P1P shown in the same comparison.
