We are back with PrintFixFriday 258, and today we’re tackling a @bondtechab INDX double-header: dialing in the INDX Founders Edition repairs on the @Prusa3D CORE One while breaking down the escalating controversy surrounding Bondtech's official response.
First, we walk through the hands-on troubleshooting and tuning process to fix ongoing issues with the INDX. We’re working on resolving frustrating multi-color banding, dialing in the perfect retraction profiles to prevent nozzle clogs, and putting my non-contact thermal sensor hysteresis theory to the test.
But physical repairs are only half the story. Bondtech and Prusa have finally responded to users about the flawed INDX nozzles, offering a $15 partial refund or store credit. We take a deep dive into the math, the community's reaction, and whether this compensation is actually a fair resolution, or if it misses the mark for the founders and dev kit owners who supported them.
Inside this video:
- INDX Troubleshooting: Fixing retraction profiles, stopping nozzle clogs, and dialing in multi-color prints.
- The Thermal Theory: Explaining non-contact infrared thermal sensors vs. standard thermistors.
- The Bondtech Controversy: Breaking down their official response, refund policies, and store credit options.
- Is It Enough? Evaluating the true cost of backing the INDX project and dealing with these premium nozzle failures.
What do you think of both the repair solutions and Bondtech's refund response? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
