blasphemy 😀 the plaque is an absolute MUST!!!! I wish the 90$ tshirt colors were a joke (or a celebration of the woodstock festival) but probably that's indeed what we'll get...
I was like 90% sure that comment on the T-shirt shipment was in jest, not an actual thing that came from Bondtech
The t-shirt and plaque are the 2 least important items in the kit and can be delayed forever as far as I'm concerned.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Once it's working I think my first print will have to be a multi-color Benchy. My next project is porting the OrcaSlicer CMYK fork over to PrusaSlicer.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Prusa and Bondtech are at RMRRF this weekend also.
Should be a good event and a nice change for them. RMRRF has a strict no-harassment policy. 😉
RE:
What is being shown at RAPID TCT. Looks like they've added numbers to the fence
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Yeah we saw the numbers on one iteration a couple of weeks back, but the numbers were absent from the recent batch Tommy showed. I presumed they’re just laser etched.
Bit annoying there’s that weird reflective thing obscuring a proper view of the dreaded fun fence, as I would very much hope thats the final version we’re likely to receive.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I would assume so. No word yet on when the RFID readers will be available.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Seems like it’s a protective peel or something. Looks like they’ll be revealing tomorrow based on the discord.
Noting the numbers on the external filament sensor also. I want to mount and feed the filament for the 4 indx tools from the right of my machine as thats the best way for the limited space I have in my office. No issues with the tool heads being on the left or cutting my own lengths of ptfe. Seeing those numbers and that in the founders bom it lists “INDX PTFE Holder Left“. Are they going to force you to feed the ptfe and mount the external filament sensor for the first 4 on thr left regardless. Hoping it’s an easy mod or the right version is an available print on printables. Don’t want to have to feed a couple meters of ptfe to load from the right

I’d very much expect the filament sensors to be optional, like they are currently on the C1…so you can just disable them from the menu.
Im looking to feed directly from a shelf above the C1 where my cereal containers are, so I’m more or less in the same boat as you.
Ideally I’d like to have the filament sensors working, but Im confident there’ll be a workaround, or worse case scenario disable filament sensing altogether.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I may have missed an update, but may I inquire about the rfid sensors you are mentioning? Was there ever anything mentioned about them?
I would assume so. No word yet on when the RFID readers will be available.

It was a photo of it on Discord an I seem to remember seeing a glimpse of it in one of the Prusa youtube videos. It's basically a coil and RFID reader board that fits underneath the spool holder. I'll try to find it after work.

No, haven't you heard? They've already moved away from OpenID and now are planning on use mini-spectrometers per filament! 😉
RE:
Well, if today is a big day for INDX, fingers crossed it goes well.
And maybe the whole "fun fence" episode was just an elaborate ploy to trick people into canceling their discounted preorders so they can ship more units at full price 🙂

RE:
This thing is kinda interesting, looks like a pcb. Nozzle calibration? Cant see why that would need a pcb though.

Bambu uses eddy current sensors to detect where the nozzle tips are. (Which is elegant, but does not work for non-conductive tips.) But I was assuming that Prusa would just tap a cylindrical target or a hole, checking for mechanical contact via the load cell.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Integrated purge bucket and wiper solution... yayyyy. haha they've caught up! I mean ok it doesnt have a poop shoot so will have to fiddle inside to remove but for how little purging will be needed with indx it's grand. With that alone I feel like they are listening. Keen to see what else is formally announced about it later today

If true, this is going to be a problem with DiamondBack and Obxidian nozzles. They won't work with this type of alignment (at least on Bambu H2 printers)
RE:
In other news, the Bambu X2D will sell for $899 including the AMS. Fast switching between two filaments (via its dual hotend print head), slow and wasteful switching for more colors (via the AMS). 65°C active chamber heating too. One of the two hotends is fed by a Bowden extruder though; let's see how that works out.
The Core One + INDX is sitting between a rock and a hard place, I feel: A dirt-cheap X2D solution on the lower end, with some compromises. Or a significantly larger build volume and little compromise with the H2D and H2C above.
Edit: I wrote "will sell", but should have said "sells". Seems it is in stock now.
