RE: HT CORE One: 500c Nozzle and a Fully Automatic, Inputless, Actively Heated, Insulated Chamber
I’ve been really interested in a high temp option for the Core, and I was hoping that Prusa was going to offer one. I have a Core kit on order. I’ve just perused the thread, thoughts on starting with a virgin kit? Would an MMU3 be viable? High temp CF/GF filled interior and some kind of colored exterior PA or ASA/Acrylic would be interesting.

I actually also started with the kit! I presume the assembled variant comes with the majority of the tools too. I personally have zero experience and interest in any multi-material unit though, I haven't looked into how I could mod it to work with the optional top panel replacement (The one for filament path strain relief for the particularly brittle filaments), however if you don't do that and the MMU3 doesn't un-enclose the printer I don't see why it wouldn't work! That's because the max chamber temp is still 55c, which is stock, so I'd hope it'd work with those temps! Not too sure where you mean to suggest the "High temp CF/GF filled interior and some kind of colored exterior PA or ASA/Acrylic", but if you mean inside the printer then that's fully up to you to go for! Just note that chamber insulation will need accounting for if you mean adding extra stuff instead of only replacing stock parts. If you mean the interior of the MMU3, I'm sure you could do the exact same of course! Although I see no reason to modify the MMU3 unless you mod the main printer to raise the chamber past 55c, in which case you could likely just modify the mount to include insulation in between the components.
I'm sure it's perfectly doable, and this mod doesn't inherently prohibit it, it would just make it extra challenging if you want both the strain relief on the filament tube, and the MMU3! All presuming the printer stays fully enclosed with it installed of course.
