Hopefully the 'issue' is that the founders front panel is crap and needs a re-design 😂

no, I believe the issue that's been discovered is that the Germans won't approve it without transparent aluminum doors for use within Deutschland.

Yes, yes... The front-panel is crap... Can always cancel and wait for the Prusa version.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Glancing through the discord yesterday it was looking like a couple of people noting they planned on cancelling their orders.
I think the majority of those are just noise. Huge difference between rage posting "I'm going to cancel" vs "I've just canceled." I haven't canceled mine although I should have because I don't really need it. I'm in it for the excitement of being first out of the gate and participating in the inevitable group debugging sessions.

Wishful thinking my man. You'll have no orange numbers or visisblilty and be happy about it 😅
Wonder if they saw our posts 😅
I'm cool with the update/apology, at least it's something and fingers crossed a better product comes to us 😊

Yeah I've got no problem with the delay, or the update (or lack thereof)...literally my only gripe is that war crime of a front panel 😂
I mean what with the (new) delay the only reason for them making us buy the better panel is to claw a bit of the loss back that they're making with the founders edition... and that leaves a slightly nasty taste.
You don't release an apology update if its only going to be a few days more...Im expecting at least another 2-4 weeks, and I honestly don't mind if the end result is a better product.
RE:
It's interesting that compared with the last BondTech email that hinted at a release date, this one makes no mention of one (which is what they should have done on the previous email). Anyway, I don't expect it to be shipped until June. If it's early, then cool but not in a hurry. No more multi-color experiments on the H2D though, that thing eats through filament.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Hoping it’s something simple, like poor QC on the SLS case rather than related to the internal mechanisms.
Today's update email says essentially: "We'd rather not tell you what the problem is" and "we don't know when this will be resolved". This suggests a non-trivial issue to me.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Seems that way unfortunately, shame.

Yeah, the H2C is really the way to go for them moment. it is pretty quick to heat up and once all the nozzles have been flushed there's no more waste. Unfortunately, it seems like they have beat INDX to market rather substantially... Which sort of annoys me but for now it works.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
I guess the insurmountable problem with the Vortek system is that it still needs time to retract and purge. I remember reading it takes about 40 seconds per swap whereas INDX is around 12-15 seconds.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Vortex is down to 29sec…. It’s still a bunch of time… maybe a half an hour over a day long print? that said it’s not wasting any filament… with the exception of the prime tower, which so far it seems to be one of those things that just sticks around. granted, you can prime into the void of the print which lowers that necessity to either not required or a much smaller prime tower. I would expect INDX to be very similar; just a lot faster.
