In this video, we're putting the Prusa Core ONE INDX Founders Edition through over 160 hours of real-world testing. Brought to you by Onshape. Try Onshape Free – Engineers Get Up to 6 Months Pro: jle.vi/onshape
After nearly 15,000 tool changes, one thing became crystal clear: The Prusa Core ONE INDX is a Prusa Machine, through and through. The speed, reliability, automatic nozzle alignment, and massive reduction in purge waste all point to a genuinely exciting step forward for multi-material 3D printing. But this is still a Founders Edition machine, and while the core technology is already incredibly solid, there are a handful of quality-of-life improvements that could make a huge difference before the production version lands.
So in this video - which, by the way, is NOT a Prusa Core One INDX Review - we'll take a closer look at what surprised me most, the tradeoffs that come with this entirely new approach to tool changing, the print quality, and the features I'd love to see added before release. I'll also be sharing some of the things that still need polish and improvement in the Prusa Core One INDX Prusa Edition, coming out later this year. If you're considering the Prusa Core ONE INDX, a BondTech INDX upgrade kit for your 3D printer, or simply want to see where the next generation of tool changers is headed, this one's for you.
Let's get after it.
