Update...(Kind of)  

RE: Update...(Kind of)

I suspect this is part of the reason the H2C continue to make use of a prime tower... which is separate from the fact that it swaps the filament in and out on the right head.

it will not use a prime tower at all if you tell it to prime into the print... and still there doesn't seem to be any downside.

With the H2D and two colors (one in each nozzle) I still find a prime tower is necessary because you need time to build up pressure in the nozzle and to flush out any carbonized filament. It would be interesting though to experiment with this on the INDX.

Prime towers are ok. I have a friend who used it as tile for this shop.  Sliced them on a bandsaw and sanded them smooth.  He finished it with a coat of clear epoxy.

RE:

When do you think Prusa will ship?

From June 1 or from June 30?

Or late?

And how many units were sold if the first batch is out by August?

So there are 3 months of leeway for batch 1

Friday 😉

I would say it all depends on when Bondtech iron their issues out and if there is an agreement that the founders still manage to get them at aheadnof the same time frame as the Prusa orders.

Hard to say really, but with the latest update from Bondtech at least they're making sure it's right before it does ship from either source, and we can all get behind that.

RE: Update...(Kind of)

Bondtech have confirmed that the Founders Editions will ship before they send the units to Prusa to fulfill their orders. So the gap I suppose is how quickly Prusa can pack them into boxes and ship.

I have no idea how that rumor got started.   It would be a bad decision for Bondtech to do that.

It's not a rumor, it's a direct statement from Olaf at Bondtech on Discord. They will not ship the parts to Prusa until the Founder's Editions orders have been fulfilled.  

RE: Update...(Kind of)

No, I am talking about the rumor that they might ship to Prusa first.
