RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
Honestly, I think if Prusa give the option of a clear top cover like the U1, Id be happy. I think it looks quite well, no different to a Bamboo or Creatlity with an AMS unit on top. Far cry better than the MMU top cover. The price tag has a bit of a sting though, but does have filtration built in. Which is a must for me, printers are in a very small office space.

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
How the C1 will perform wrt to reaching chamber temps with a larger volume chamber is another discussion altogether, but this is an obvious hurdle that must've addressed.
I agree, the enclosed chamber was one of the major selling points of the C1.
I agree, this will be extremely important for many of us. I almost never print PLA, often print PETG, and increasingly print ASA or similar. At work I'm mostly printing FR PC/ABS in a 65c chamber. This really is a question of where these companies see their customers asking for. Tons of folks are happy with PLA, and have very little need for chamber heat. If, however, you need to print engineering grade filaments, chamber temp is one of the first specs you look at.
I've been printing some little ASA parts lately, and finally tried the heat gun technique to jumpstart the chamber heat in my Core One, and it really helps. You have to be careful about concentrating too much heat in one place, but it saves a lot of time.
I would love to have a bolt-on thermistor controlled chamber heater for the core one, even if it required separate power and didn't talk to the firmware. A timer switch and temperature control would make me happy. If someone (or even Prusa themselves) made one to fit inside the left chamber pocket, I would jump right on it.
The problem is that true engineering grade materials, good ones, are expensive. And much of what people print (and sell on Etsy shops etc) fit closer to the "trinket" or "toy" label and likely barely make a profit when printed in cheap PLA. Companies that intentionally design around higher temps nozzles and chambers (like Qidi and even Bambu to some extent), will be capturing more of the semi-professional market by spec alone, even before considering price or print quality. There is still a big price (and spec) gap between an expensive consumer printer that can do 65c chamber and, say, the 22 IDEX. I'd love to have a 100c chamber and 200c bed, but the jump from $3k to $15k huge.

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
I've been using recently a little (a cube of little more than 2 inch per side) heating block for small reflow soldering that can go up to 100C (even has a little display to set the temp), it needs a decent USB-C source and it can be bought for a handful of dollars on your favorite chinese online shop. Adding a little fan on an ABS mount to circulate the air would be trivial thing, it is small enough to be placed on the bottom of the printer... here you go. If you want a link to the gadget let me know.

Any chance of a link mate? I need one for a couple of side projects I'm working on...I normally do everything by hand but I'm at the point where a reflow plate will save me hours of time.

Did I hear right that the Snapmaker UI doesn't come with hardened nozzles?

It doesn't come with, but they are available (or will be) for purchase: Hot End for Snapmaker U1

I've been printing a lot of ASA and PC. For a "chamber pre-heater" I've been using a hair dryer. Wondering if adding a top over the INDX PTFE tubes would increase the chamber volume enough that the print bed can no longer heat it enough.
