RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
I was also in the same camp - not finding any models I really wanted to print Multi Colour when I first got an MMU2 so I didn't really use it - but once I found something I really wanted print - cruise ships in my case - I've now got a massive pipeline of prints I want to do and the more colours the better.
RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
So shot in the dark time, how much do people think this is going to set us idiots back ? I reckon £500 ish
Hmm, the basic MMU3 is £358, so if this "MMUx/MMU4" is so much better then, heck £500 seems like a justifiable price. Obviously I'd prefer it was cheaper, but we gotta live in the real world... 🙁
RE: INDX is coming for CoreOne?
I love how our current options as core one owners are relatively limited. Yet Prusa tease a leap with a 7 toolhead INDX and still people want more 🤣 I can’t imagine anything will stop people who need extra from attaching a box turtle to each of those 7 tool heads, giving the potential for 28 filaments if needed. Seems like absolute overkill but we all have our workflows I guess
I want a large carousel of nozzles, rotating all around the Core One, with a handover position in the front left. Not less than 32 nozzles please! 😉
The filament rolls would have to follow along, right? To keep them tubes from twisting on each other?
I think Box Turtle or MMU3 with INDX is a fairly valid combination - is that something anyone has ever attempted with the XL - as one of the reasons I never got one (apart from the large cost/additional extruder) was that 5 tools was nowhere near enough for me. The most colours I have gone up to is 11 - and that's on 0.2 and 0.4 nozzles in the same model
Did you do color changes with layer commands to change the color?
On the use scenario, once you have it AND use it, you start to use it all the time. I had a two nozzle Printrbot that I never really used (really was 1 color plus support) but that was two early. My MK3/MMU2 never really worked reliably, so that snake bit me. The XL came out and there were enough models and the slicer settings to make it easier to do it- and the XL just works. Coming from an MMU2, I was skeptical. But damn, it just works. Plus better bed surfaces and better first layer control all came together. Now 90% of my prints are multicolor I design parts in color and materials, though color is far more common.

Oh yes. I want a large carousel! 😜

Well I just picked the number really, but I can't see it being much over £500 if at all.
After all, you can buy a C1 kit for £875 , surely an upgrade to a machine can't really start approaching the cost of the machine new?....can it ?
