RE: Update...(Kind of)
yup... I also remember it was said the printer was well-traveled, they had packed it up on one trade fair and airlifted straight to the next. Wouldn't read too much into issues at the time of the video.
It’s the calibration not being reading for a weeks or months I got mostly hung up on tbh

Curious how they are going to deal with diamondback nozzles if the nozzle offset alignment is being done with an eddy current sensor. I guess have to wait and see.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I remember someone from Prusa being asked about the board and answering something like "it is a little gift that will be quite useful later on"... so I am taking the little calibration PCB as "not needed now, will work". I rather have it now like this as having to pay 8$ for the part and a fortune in shipping like it was for the accelerometer board on the Core1. Everything else, I expect to be working from launch day, for sure there will be refinements and improvements on things (as in all new products) but as long as the printer calibrates and prints, I'm happy to wait for it to develop in full.
...He’s asked about the calibration pcb. Calls it the tool offset calibration. It’s hard to hear but it sounds like he says something about firmware and that it would be in the coming weeks or months… 🤣 I’m not holding my breath
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I’m guessing it’s something that both the indx and normal nextruder set up will benefit from. Similarly happy to wait but wondering if they’ll hold off shipping until it’s a bit more fleshed out in software.
Seemingly Tommy was going to give a big update today… but he also said that a couple weeks back 😂
RE:
>> as the printer calibrates
... meanwhile, the user replacing that PCB's functionality 🙂
Judging from my own experience with a Voron Stealthchanger build, I'd expect automatic calibration makes sense only after the printer has been confirmed to work with a very careful (and time-intensive) manual calibration driven by common-sense logic. Otherwise it's "run-before-you-can-walk". And, pulling that off would require a very thorough effort in firmware and documentation (IMHO).

well, what would be really cool is if they end up beating bambu to the multi tool head, multi orifice size slicer support… Which bamboo still hasn't been able to do

I would expect exactly that to be the difference between building a Voron and buying a Prusa: Prusa should have done the "walking", so the customers are off to a running start, with automatic calibration from day one.
Do you guys really expect the calibration PCB to be unsupported in firmware upon launch? And would you be ok with that? Calibrating the X, Y, Z offsets manually for eight tools seems like a major pain.

It's annoying even for 2 tools. But if you don't plan on swapping out the nozzles I suppose it only needs to be done once?
Anyway, Discord is just noise right now. No real announcements around shipping dates. Tommy is implying that maybe Friday there could be an announcement.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
frankly I don't know what the board is there for exactly. I am assuming the system will be able to do an initial calibration somehow.
If the little board on the plate is, as said by some prusa guy, used later, I expect on INDX delivery some automation in the fw nevertheless...

An announcement announcement, which may or may not run into announcement announcement delays... 😉
Or it might be a delay announcement announcement, of course.

a meta announcement with a meta delay 😀

It will be a pre-announcement of a possible announcement. "When" is to be determined.

Buddy camera angles 👆
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Uuuh yet another new part in the Bill of Materials! The camera adapter plate (or a new camera mount)... cool, the new angle seem to be much better.
At the pace they are adding stuff, I'd say let delay the delivery another month... by then we get the core one on wheels with a voice interface "hey printer, bring me my part" 😂
RE:

Probably a good idea.
Now that the FlashForge is out, I'm starting to see FlashForge and U1 comparison videos. 2026 is the year of tool changers
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I know you are saying that in jest but the reality is a drip feed marketing strategy combined with what looks like problems with the development programme don't succeed and actually end up doing a lot of damage to the brand.
I look at Indx and wonder if it will ever get shipped, the teaser photos just seem to show one problem after another, Prusa have created a big marketing 'fuss' over Indx and then people can't buy it which has no doubt frustrated a lot of potential customers and partners. It isn't a surprise that Prusa are having a hard time with the competition and are looking at the industrial market, if they pull the same stunts in that market of announcement and man-yannah delivery schedules they will be toast.

On the other hand, announcing early immediately draws sales away from their competitors and builds an eager customer base from day one. If they had waited until they were ready to ship, I can guarantee there'd be people complaining that they wouldn't have bought that U1 if they'd had some advance warning.

Looks exactly the same as the camera angle my core one buddy cam shows. What do you see that's changed?

Screenshot
there actually isn’t a new part, just showing that the camera is unobstructed with indx in place.
Possibility they may add an adapter but looking at the pictures I can’t see what better vantage you can get bar moving it to a new location
