INDX is coming for CoreOne?

Also confirmed by Prusa employee on Reddit (nozzle tapping with load cell).

I hope you are right.

I am so glad I did not preorder this.  I just noticed that it uses a Pinda probe.  That is a huge step back in technology.  

I have seen several comments that the production version for the Core One will use a load cell. (Based on statements apparently made in the live stream, which I did not watch.)

 

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?

Thanks.  Still glad I waited.

4-tool is what I'm seeking for INDX.

The hard part is getting enough dry boxes for that.  I like CoreBoxx, but there is an issue with keeping filament dry.  INDX will solve some of that with dry boxes based on the pictures.

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?

Seems like you should be able to use one of any number of dry boxes on the market that allow printing through.   Which reminds me it will be a bit of a pain to load each nozzle (switching out 4-8 filaments for a special print)  but that's the drawback among a whole lot of benefits.

Any idea what the dry box system that was on the display machine from the videos today are? I kinda like those, and it looked like there was a way to mount them directly to the core one….

Probably these? Prusa USS Drybox

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?

Yes.  Good box to keep it dry, but it will do limited drying/.

Maybe they'll do it like the Nextruder does it at the end of a print and pull out the filament, when putting the nozzle back on the rack.
That way, you could simply pull out the filament through the PTFE tube, push the new filament into the nozzle and the extruder will grab the filament and push it into the nozzle, when grabbing the nozzle.

Or maybe there will be a "switch all filaments" option.

 Its 28.5ish in total on the Y that INDX needs to pick and up drop off tools - so if the C1 has 18 spare at the front it will only take 10.5.

Also you don't have to have tools all the way across the front - so long thin diagonal objects can still be printed using the full Y if one side is left free.

Thanks. I also came across the quote from Bondtech in one of the introductory videos now: "28.5 mm depth are required; if there is some overtravel in your printer, that gets deducted from that." So that's good, a 10 mm loss of print area seems reasonable.

Whether the front right area can be used for printing in a 4-toolhead system will depend on what the slicer allows. Can PrusaSlicer handle non-rectangular printable areas already?

RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?

Has it been documented how the INDX toolhead, when  adapted to the Core One, handles cooling of the printed part and of the heatbreak?

For part cooling, Bondtech's specification table for the Core One version states "stock single 5020 fan". I understand that to mean that the existing Nextruder fan (which is 50 mm diameter, 20 mm thick) will be re-used. But it will most likely require a different shroud to direct the airflow. Have any pictures been published? Can we expect a similar (near-) 360° cooling solution as in the Nextruder, and hence similar overhang performance?

To cool the heatbreak, is there a dedicated fan in the toolhead? I see the little cooling fins (assuming that's what they are?) on the nozzle. But when the nozzle is docked in the toolhead, they seem to sit encapsulated inside the head. So where does the heat go?
