Tools a mounted on the front impacting access
After watching tons of INDX preview videos, I just now realized that for the Core One the INDX tools will be mounted on the front (door-side) of the printer. For reason I was sure they mounted on the back. Yes, I'm a dummy for not seeing this earlier. Is anyone concerned that it will make it a bit awkward to reach in to fiddle with the extruder, especially as it will probably be a bit more work to open the top cover as well?

The top cover will need to be removed anyway. It will be replaced by removable top the makes room for the PTFE tubes.
RE: Tools a mounted on the front impacting access
I assume (and very much hope) that the new cover will consist of two parts: A back which typically remains on the printer, and through which all the PTFE tubes are routed -- and a front hood which can be easily removed for access. The backside-only configuration can be seen in various FormNext videos, although that might not be the final cover design.
Nevertheless, I am also somewhat concerned about visibility and access to the toolhead and the print from the front side. I will opt for the four-tool configuration for that reason, so only half of the front rail will be populated with tool parking bays.
