I got tired of waiting for that and was going to buy the Qidi X-Smart-3, but I waited just a couple of months too long and had to settle for a an A1 Mini combo instead, and no it’s not connected to the cloud.
I do have to admit, I do like the AMS lite because it allows me to use every last gram of filament off of a spool and then auto switch to a new spool. But I did have issues with their software/firmware in the beginning. It damaged both of the plates I had within the first month. I had to wait for the next firmware update for the fix.

In case you aren’t aware, A1 Mini can also catch on fire, see:
Bambu Lab A1 NTC thermistor fire and meltdown hazard
Please keep that in mind and take necessary precautions if needed.

The bit at the end about Prusa Connect Local looks promising. I like self hosting, and it always left a bad taste in my mouth when a lot of features were locked behind their cloud system.

I was initially excited to hear the XL was finally getting some attention, but the price of this upgrade has me quite disappointed. It would cost me at minimum $500 to upgrade my 5 tool head XL, and that’s not including the new high flow nozzles.
I was an early XL adopter and pre-ordered based on my great experience with their MK3S printers. I love my XL when it works as intended, but it’s been a long and rocky road to get it to a point of being pretty reliable. I’ve sunk countless hours of my time and loads of filament tinkering with and without Prusa support to troubleshoot issue after issue and even then still having to wait months or years for software updates to solve problems that it never should have shipped with.
So now to find out that there’s finally a real solution to make it the printer that was promised years ago, but it costs as much as many printers is yet another letdown in my XL journey.

Wooo! Time to upgrade your expensive beta test!

Isn’t the INDX upgrade super delayed because Bondtech couldn’t figure out the nozzle heat treating?

I 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.

Not delayed AFAIK - just not with “hardened” steel nozzles. They currently have nozzles that are steel and hardened, but not hardened to the level of printing carbon fiber, glass fiber, glow in the dark and other filled materials. ~20HRC vs ~50HRC, where standard brass are ~5HRC.
Personally I’m not doing multicolour and multimaterial with filled materials so not a big deal to me, but it’d be nice to have the option I suppose.
I received my INDX dev kit a few days ago, and I’m currently working through the installation on a Voron 2.4. It’s been a lot of fun so far, hopefully using it goes as well. Can’t speak for the Prusa side of course but knowing them they have better documentation and support.
