RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
Posted by: @darksharpie
Also interesting a Core ONE L with AFU and 8 tools is around the same price as an H2C with the recommended 2 AMS units and 7 nozzles.
That is a great point. It probably makes it a superior value.

RE:
Now here's the really fundamental "Core One with INDX" question:
On a fully loaded INDX configuration with 8 nozzles -- where is the poor Core One going to do its headbanging for XY homing? 😋

just bang on y max.
RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
Wasn't following the thread for a day. People were earlier asking about nozzle hardening.
During that live stream the Bondtech people said that right now the nozzles that they were showing were nitrided, but there would be different options by the time real orders will be placed by people. At least that's how I remember it.
I'm looking forward to the INDX as I hate the poop-everest producing multi-material options and the MMU3 didn't quite appeal as I'd want to run residue sensitive materials. Thus having a nozzle strictly tied to one material should really work well. I expect to mostly use it for functional prints with different support or separation materials. There are really cool things you can do with TPU and PLA or PETG separation layers like printing bellows (cf. FPF videos).
RE:
Interesting little bit of info from Mikolas over on Reddit.
Bondtech guys have the INDX running at 360 "easily"... and he thinks sub 10s swaps by the time it ships.
Looks like they were (understandably) playing it safe at Formnext.
RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
And there are a few integration questions which I am wondering about. E.g. it seems we are losing the side filament sensor. So how will filament runout detection -- and in particular unloading of the remaining bit of filament -- work with only a printhead sensor? (Or will it be a printhead sensor?? I can't quite see how that works with the exchangeable tube & nozzle combos. It's listed as "will be there for the Core One version, but is not implemented on the Formnext demo unit" in the INDX specs.)
While I’m not 100% how’d you’d wire it back to the buddy board, without cutting a hole on the case or acrylic, but the ptfe tubing holder on the sides are pretty over sized. They have more than enough space for a filament sensor/s to catch run out prior to getting to the extruder. 
RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
Yeah I'm pretty sure it was mentioned at Formnext there will be filament sensors where you've circled.
