Integrated purge bucket and wiper solution... yayyyy.
I might be being slow here, but where's the wiper?

Hidden behind the nozzle I think. I'm just going on Grant saying "a little purge bucket and wiper solution" in the short
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Is it me, or the visibility through the fun fence improved ? The gaps seem a fair bit larger to me ?
RE: Update...(Kind of)
looks like the cover for the hole that used to hold the filament sensor, that is now gone... This is the left side, so if the config is a 4 nozzle INDX system, I guess you just have a cover, if you have an 8 head config it could be used to pass a cable...

definitely larger holes on the upper side.

Agree, as Grant said “it’s not that bad but not amazing”. Also only 4 tools so view would be a little more restricted if 8 are installed.
Also looks like they’ve extended it down more. Looks like 30-40mm below the existing front bar on the printer. so might be bigger gaps up top but now longer distance for the bed to drop below the plate during a print

The shape though, why not just have a normal handle and what’s the black piece. Might be a bit more to it.
possibly just a wing nut to release the purge bin?
RE: Update...(Kind of)
twist to release the handle?
Finally they implemented a coffee machine and this is the spout? 😀
really looking forward to the assembly instructions....

RE: Update...(Kind of)
The picture is from the right side, which has the purge bin attached in the short. So rather than release the handle, I'm guessing it's just an easy way to attach and detach that purge bin to remove and dump waste

RE: Update...(Kind of)
This thing is kinda interesting, looks like a pcb. Nozzle calibration? Cant see why that would need a pcb though.
Tommy confirmed this was for calibration on discord. More details to be relieved and will be part of the founders. Starting to think the founders value isnt too bad...
Now I need to get off these platforms and get back to work! Looking forward to seeing all the updates when I finish for the day!

work is for losers !
RE: Update...(Kind of)
ok, from what I have seen so far in the video:
- purge bin (sure) plus nozzle wipe (possibly)
- calibration spot on the plate
- external sensors (still need to see if they are 4 or 1 signal per group)
- reworked front bar with more visibility, the original version was nicer but I can live with this one
I pretty much like what I see... the auto open/close seem not to be there but not a big loss for me for the moment compared to the rest.
RE:
No surprise, but says COREONEINDX on the screen, so new INDX specific firmware. Comments on YouTube confirms that's a release in the handle to remove the purge bucket. That calibration target (?) PCB is beyond the reach of the nozzle? Wonder what that does... some sort of lvds coils?
RE:
If you move the nextruder to the homing position manually with the plate fully up you’ll see it can actually reach over there. At the start of every print itll go to that corner, then back a little to check if the build plate is installed. So if it goes a little further it can reach no problem. Plus the change in the z offset and size difference of the indx may allow it easier. A lot of people have used this fact to get a couple extra cm’s out of the core one
RE: Update...(Kind of)
regular static discharge point to release static buildups? hey, no idea if this would work but one speculation more doesn't hurt... 😀

Hold on, we were assured that there would be no firmware ready 😂

RE: Update...(Kind of)
No really sure if: Olaf is kidding, that he personally doesn't know, that BondTech doesn't know what is going on over at Prusa or they do know and just won't say. I guess we won't know for sure until the kits are actually shipped out.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I wonder whether Bondtech are still happy with their choice of partner. Too many last-minute developments and surprises for my taste, and very poor communications.
Compare that to the Bambu X2D launch. No official announcements and teasers until a week ago; official launch date announced four days ago; launched today with the complete website and products ready to ship.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
The little "volcano" would be the equivalent of Voron's 6-ball (spell that out) using load cell instead of microswitch.
The idea is that probing on a sphere lets me align nozzles in XY - if the same XY offset gives the same Z offset over the sphere, the nozzle is centered.
The coil, I suspect eddy current for coarse alignment, to bring the nozzle into the vicinity of the "volcano", must be close enough to avoid accidentally probing around on the unprotected PCB.
