A reliable printer with three good tools would be the solution. The closest to that is still Snapmaker. I have no idea what Bambu was thinking with 1 1/2 heads, but until this industry figures out their shit, I’m not buying a multi tool head printer. I’m waiting on Creality because they promise to take TPU seriously, but they always underdeliver. Looks like number of toolheads is the new multi razor.
Comment on Prusa releases upgrades for Core One+, Core One L, and XL
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 days agoI saw several videos about Prusa INDX recently and decided it would be my first printer. I hope the Prusa version does not get delayed for too long. It has already taken me years to decide where I wanted to start.

Depends on what you want out of your printer. 5 is the minimum for me for multicolor prints. I usually max out my MMU when I’m doing that, and the new color mixing can take advantage of even more.
3 is probably all you need for structural stuff. One PLA, one PETG, one TPU and you can make tons of very unique, useful items. But 5 colors + support + TPU? That’s an amazing amount of flexibility and design options.

What’s MMU mean in this context again?

It’s the Prusa version of the multi color filament feeder.

As mentioned in another comment, I don’t think it’s delayed, unless you want an assembled one. They’ve sold the first batch of upgrade kits, shipping September, with more upgrade kits coming soon and full Core One+ with INDX coming later (as kits and assembled).
If you’re itching and want to learn more before getting into toolchangers, the Core One (and One+) announced today are a great place to start, and can be upgraded in the future as newer models release.
