Several nozzles sizes possible with a multi toolhead XL ?

do you think it will be possible to put differents nozzles size for the same print and the sliser will be able to manage it like the different colors?

exemple for a decoration plate :

i want to print a large plate with 0.8 nozzle on head 1 .

somme details /logo/drawings on it  with 3 layer in 0.4 nozzle on head 2.

and finish with tiny text with 0.25 nozzle in head 3 ?

that's really what I miss with the mmu and what limits me in my creations

that would be an awsome feature !

I believe this will be a feature, I think JP has mentioned it in one of the update blogs. It will be something I'm eager to play with in PrusaSlicer once the XL profile and settings have been loaded.

It is THE feature. If they don't implement it right from the start I'd be very irritated.

RE:

When I upgraded my Tevo Tornado to IDEX 2 years ago, I got different nozzle sizes on each head. I got 1 head with direct drive and 0.3mm nozzle for detailed prints and second head with volcano and 0.6mm nozzle for larger models. I used as slicer PrusaSlicer and it was able to generate gcode for 2 color setup with different nozzle sizes. So at least PrusaSlicer supports such configuration for a long time.

Anyone has heard anything regarding this?

This would be the reason for me to get the XL. Printing fast with input shaping etc, is one thing and I get it, they want to compete head-to-head with X1C and "speed" fever. But but printing the walls and delicate features with 0.2 while printing all the infill and supports with 0.8mm nozzle besides impeccable quality also means great speed increase and in a way that bambulabs cannot compete with unless they also release a multi-tool printer.

IMO this should be a no-brainer prioritized feature.

It's a little more complicated then it should be but it is possible.
