The INDX is an extremely fast, highly efficient toolchanger system with up to eight independent toolheads that seamlessly integrates with your CORE One+ 3D printer. Each material gets its own dedicated path, so you can combine rigid and flexible parts, use easy-to-remove or dissolvable supports, switch nozzle sizes in the same print, and print multi-color models without throwing half of the spool to waste.
Maybe as a single unit and not a conversion it’ll be cheaper but right now all in for a Core One+ and 4 head INDX upgrade you’re talking $2k+. A Snapmaker U1 is half that and had a bigger print volume.
I was hoping a Core One with INDX would be reasonable but I have a feeling a U1 is more likely in my future.
I went the x1c route after the XL was too expensive to justify. Sold it after their first fuck up with the forced login that they put on the back burner (for now) and got a core one with the hope for Indx.
It just feels right to me to be able to control my printer and still have a modern machine that can be repaired in just about every way and where I control the software. So yeah, not the cheapest option but the most open one. That is what matters to me and although the prise for the indx is on the high side (especially for those of us on a budget) I don’t regret taking that path.
I used to compare it with using Linux as a desktop which was hard in 2003. It was a hassle but I am very happy watching the past 22 years of enshitifaction and seeing how easy Linux has gotten. Let’s hope prusa doesn’t go the of long forgotten Linux distros we lost along the way.
Oof yeah. That’s rough.
