Wow the guy with dark hair is hardly Mr Charisma, is he ? 😂
RE: INDX Update - Extruder
LOL - I thought that. Seems like he's bored!

He's an electrical engineer. What did you expect? 😉
I like the idea of not just letting the PR guys present these updates, but the actual developers. Can we please meet a software developer next?
RE: INDX Update - Extruder
It's like there's a guy off camera pointing a gun at him. I bet the electrical engineers all had to pick straws as to who had to go infront of the camera !!
You're getting really twitchy about the software, arent you ? 🤣

Oh yes... I have been in too many hardware + software projects which ended up with months of delay on the software side.
(Well, that's not entirely fair. It might have helped if the hardware guys had provided working prototypes to the software team a bit earlier... And if they had avoided the "Oh, by the way -- we now realize that this bit is not entirely reproducible. Can you please add some compensation/calibration mechanism to the software at late notice?" 🙄)
RE: INDX Update - Extruder
Im honestly not that concerned mate, I mean, from a software standpoint, is INDX really that different from the Prusa XL?
Is it the actual C1 Firmware that concerns you, or the slicing side of things ?

Both actually. On the slicer side, it seems like INDX support will be baked into PrusaSlicer 3.0 -- presumably a major overhaul, not just minor adaptations of the existing multicolor support. On the firmware side, it's more "death by a thousand paper cuts" I'm afraid of: Different docking movement, different way to check whether docking was successful, different XYZ calibration details, new temperature sensor and filament sensor, new heater with different PID feedback loop, different characteristics of the load cell, different orientation of the accelerometer axes...
