Linus is no stranger to 3D printers with toolchangers, but this is something totally different. By using induction heating, the Prusa INDX uses passive tools that make it smaller and more affordable than comparable systems.

After my experience, I don't want another Chinese printer. It's more trouble than it's worth.
I get some Bambu backlash, but this video was not balanced. At one point you say that blending colours is not possible with an AMS, at least without a huge amount of waste. Nonsense. The single nozzle is the issue, but why say that when you can get a dig in at a Bambu product by blaming the AMS? It's hilarious that your first shot of a print farm that would be a purchaser of this product was Print Farm Academy who switched from Prusa to Bambu years ago, and as of the last video I watched was still buying Bambu Labs printers. He only prints single filament, single colour parts in any case. Personally I may not be crazy about some of Bambu's practices, but I didn't see a lot of benefit over an H2C – some I admit; the H2C doesn't leave the filamernt in the print head so a swap takes longer, and I am not sure they even allow multi nozzle sizes in the same print as experimental yet, but they do print from an AMS which allows heating to keep filament dry, have a heated chamber that has filtration and can be cheaply upgraded to some real filtration, can handle way more filaments in a single print and the price is comparable. As I say I am not excited by some of what Bambu does, but by the time Prusa adds the cost of them assembling the printer this will be way more expensive than an H2C, have a maximum 8 filaments per print versus something like 24, zero ability to print engineering filaments that need a heated chamber etc. I haven't puilled the trigger yet, but I am happy with my P1S and I still intend to buy an H2C
I had the U1. Just another cheap chinese printer. It's okay for PLA, but don't even try printing PETG on it. That's where the problems start.
how to skip 13 minutes of ads? Thank you
I honestly thought Bambu was the best choice, but I was wrong. Instead of just enjoying 3D printing, I'm constantly dealing with one issue after another. For the money, I expected a lot more. Buying a Bambu printer is one of the purchases I genuinely regret. :-/
isn't it required to disclose an Ad?
Cool but I would like bigger printing volume with that price.
This is great tech but I hope you'd follow in other companies steps like Valve to encourage users to make accessories for your own products on LTTstore too by providing STEP files for users to model around instead of the snarky remark at 6:03
The Next Layer is not the channel you want to be recommending to people…
why commercials inside commercials? Is this not supposed to be one?
I understand if you have a problem with Bambu now but the H2C exists. It has existed for almost a year. It's much more polished than Bambu INDX and it has several advantages.
INDX has proven to be a very poor launch, especially with Prusa. It's not reliable and there are several long term durability concerns. Plus the whole hardened nozzle debacle.
On top of that, Sovol is launching the M1D which basically wrecks the Prusa INDX in almost every way.
This machine is a flop and I'm getting a similar vibe to the Prusa XL which notoriously, Prusa screwed over their customers with a poor product and being unable to fix it.
What about the 2nd amendment?
Your quickly becoming the boogie2988 of the tech circle bro, 1. get control over your teams/channels, 2. accept when you guys mess up/apologize do better and move on.
I love how people get all worked up about maybe 1kg in waste filament a year, meanwhile they're fine putting 55 gallons of trash into the landfill every week. Makes a lot of sense.
different sizes still isn't supported in any slicer AFAIK …
Conductive filament can be quite interesting. I was involved in a university study where I was given an A1 Mini, a spool of conductive filament, and a couple of ESP32's on a breakout board. The board was designed to be inserter into the model whilst printing, we then printed traces with the conductive filament supported in the PLA model. The conductive filament has quite a high resistance though so the traces have to be quite large. One thing that worked really well was using the conductive filament for capacity touch pads.
The two models I ended up making for the study was a smart light switch, it had a ring like the old iPods you ran your finger around and it could sent MQTT messages to the likes on Home Assistant to brighten or dim a bulb, and a small Simon game, this one had some small 3mm LEDs that were powered form the board over the filament.
You can do it with a multi-material printer with a single nozzle, though an issues is the carbon black in the conductive filament really wants to stick around. Even with having the flushing values on their maximum wasn't enough to stop the colour of the PLA being dyed darker.
It didn't obsolete anything and they are headed for a class action, based on the hotends that were sold as hardened for abrasives and they weren't … you also pay almost the price for an entire snapmaker printer for an upgrade kit that you have to install yourself.
Way too much hype for that. Bambu had similar options with the H2C a long time now. And compared to INDX it at least come exactly as sold. Not like Bondtech with their fake hardend nozzles and no fix in sight.
This is a pure marketing video not pointing to all the issues around INDX. My INDX build got reverted due to it because it simply disabled a lot of capabilities of a already limited Core One. BambuLab is shit for their business actions but at least their stuff just works.
I've been following INDX to get it for my VORON350.
But will have to wait for a INDX L size or
to get a kit suited for my voron due to high demand.. not available without prusa yet.
welp.. great machine guess i'll have to wait longer now more people know to pick it up.
Clearly biased and thats fine but does mean you leave much out of the review like no-purge has been solved by different brands now and have been on sale since 2025. The real cost of indx and when it will be ready. And if its for 'kids' you might for political reasons now 'hate' bambu but trust me a h2c will be a much much easier printer to work with since it handles way more things for you. And probably a U1 will give them more fun for cheaper. I like indx but there are already a few problems coils, nozzles, print–quality and it looks like a pre-assembled h2c size printer will be 2027. Does that mean say the U1 or h2c are without issues? No but what is the best printer is a much more grey area question.
If you love ur kids, teach them how to eat healthy and stop using plastic u moron. You are literary teaching them oposite, they sit in their basement and print plastic, wtf ?
I'm on a hobbyist budget. Snapmaker U1 for a lot less was the answer.
OMG when you think about it, this has the potential to not just be a 3D printer, but a full on mini factory. Automatic threaded inserts, pick+place tools, heck, why not add automatic syringes and stir heads for a full-on tiny chemical factory?
I don't get the point of multicolor prints. its way more versatile to just paint your parts afterwords. and i've never had issues with printing supports out of the same filament as the structure.
Bringing Bondtechs really awaited, innovative product to market exclusively saved Prusa imho. You’re the first to even mention Bondtech when talking about the core one Indx
When are you changing the channel to Linus Snake Tips?
I'm actually more excited about multi material than colour, reading comments though seems the nosles aren't up to what they promised and as yet that's not going to be possible for all the materials but when it is and when prices come down I might actually find a use for a 3d printer in my home.
So far 3d prints are cool but ultimately make nothing that I can't just make myself by hand for prototypes, and for production lines they are way too slow and poor quality.
just a shame they lied about their nozzles
Why this over an H2C
This is one video I can't watch LTT. With the marketing saying that CF and GF work fine, but you can't get through 1kg without changing the nozzle. Plus the whole carrier problems… Prusa used to be a great company, but I have no idea what happened with the INDX
Do these people not know about the H2C? At $700 less?
Riley ads are the best ads
Hopefully all the issues with the INDX will shake out by the time they release the version for the One L, since that's my workhorse at the moment 😅
What's the downside of this versus the xl though couldn't find it in video
Should've been a video about the Snapmaker U1
How does this compare to Bambu's h2c, which also switches hot ends and is a dual head printer? Would like to see the 2 printers compared head to head.
You have no idea how excited I was when I realized this was about a Prusa product
conductive printing? sooo… we will get 3D printed Ram ?!
This video was just a giant theoretical showcase for multi material printing and the indx specifically, it was all just "you Could do this! Or even this!! I expected the printer to be used at least once in the video?
