Will loading TPU be easier with INDX?
I know that the INDX print head has self-adjusting gears to avoid needing to loosens the extruder tension for soft filaments. However, how will the filament sensors work? Will they still have the same issue of being too tight for TPU that the original CoreOne has? Will the side sensors have the switch like the current CoreOne+. What about the sensor on the head itself? With my current CoreOne+, the only way I can load TPU (95A, not the super soft stuff) is to flick the side sensor switch, loosen the feeder gears screws, turn off the filament sensors, then remove the PTFE tube from the extruder and manually feed the filament in. I’m hoping it will be easier with INDX.

I never had issues loading 95A on a stock core one. It was a little tricky but not too hard. As for the INDX, won't know for sure until it's in our hands.

Sorry, it's actually 85A, not 95. I have never been able to get 85A Ninjaflex to auto-load.
