Bondtech INDX the solution for taking my printer beyond 4 colours. David Wood 2025-03-27 | Interesting product reveal earlier this weekhttps://www.bondtech.se/indx-by-bondtech/Might be a solution for taking my SV08 upgrade beyond 4 colours - would remove the need for having both and tool changer and AMS type multiplexer.See here for background info on my SV08 parallel printerforum.duet3d.com/topic/37250/sovol-sv08-multiple-motion-system-upgradeUpdate - projected prices now out - and I think if I only upgrade one print head per gantry to INDX then it could fit within my target budget.INDX tool change is about 17 seconds in total including reheat and priming - impressive.XL based on PrusaSlicer about 14 seconds (3 secs quicker).Doing the same thing with Bambu Studio and an H2D - Intra Nozzle total change times seem to be estimated at 11.7 seconds (about 5.3 secs quicker). IDEX times likely to be similarIf you move all swaps to the same Nozzle then Bambu Studio estimates 76secs for a normal Multiplexing filament change.Doing the same thing for an X1C comes out as 95 seconds per change - An MK4 with MMU3 using the same method is estimating at 67 seconds per change. Dual Gantry parallel INDX or Stealtchanger tool changes could be as quick as sub-second - and faster than Ratrig toolshift..Parallel printing could then reduce single colour printing by appx 40% on dual gantry for some larger models, and by over 70% for symmetrical models on quad head printer.
