13 Sep
Summary
- Features an advanced 8-tool changer with induction heating for rapid filament changes.
- Offers significantly faster multi-color printing speeds compared to competitors.
- Priced competitively, starting under $2,000 for a kit version.
The Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) INDX 8-Tool significantly advances multi-color and multi-material 3D printing. Its standout feature is the Bondtech INDX system, incorporating eight independent, inductively heated toolheads that dock and heat rapidly. This system allows for unparalleled speed in filament changes, dramatically reducing print times and waste compared to other multi-tool solutions.
Despite a slightly reduced build volume compared to previous models, the INDX's performance is exceptional. It offers faster multi-color printing than machines like the Bambu Lab H2C, producing more models in less time. The machine is available in both assembled and kit forms, with the kit starting at $1949 / £1769, making it a competitive option in the market.
Additional features include a self-adjusting extruder compatible with various materials and an offline security solution. While the standard nozzles are not designed for abrasive filaments, hardened nozzles are expected soon. The printer's design emphasizes accessibility, with upgrade paths available for existing Prusa machine owners.
