Prusa, a well-known name in 3D printing, has unveiled the CORE One+ Gen 2 INDX 8T, an advanced 3D printer that allows users to switch between eight different printing tools quickly. This model is the result of a collaboration between Prusa and Bondtech, and it is considered one of the most capable 3D printers available today. The printer comes in two versions: a 4-tool setup priced under £2,000 ($2,000) and an 8-tool version slightly above that. The fully assembled model starts at $2,249 (£2,039), while the kit version is available for $1,949 (£1,769). Existing owners of the CORE One or CORE One+ can upgrade to the 8-tool version with a conversion kit for around $999 (£909). The CORE One+ Gen 2 INDX 8T is visually similar to the CORE One but features eight toolheads mounted on the front of the printer. These toolheads are heated using induction, a method that avoids traditional wiring and allows for faster tool changes—each tool can be heated in about 12 seconds. This system is housed in the INDX module, which is mounted on the front top of the printer. The model also includes a hinged top lid and a slightly smaller build area of 248 x 205 x 270 mm compared to the original CORE One. The printer supports a wide range of materials, including PLA, PETG, TPU, PC, and nylon, as well as engineering filaments. However, its nozzles are not designed for abrasive materials, and they are rated for a limited amount of use with reinforced filaments like PETG-CF or PC-CF before needing replacement. The printer also includes a new feature called Prusa Color Mix, which is part of the PrusaSlicer software. This allows users to blend different filament colors in thin layers, creating a wider range of colors without physically mixing the materials. In performance tests, the Prusa CORE One+ INDX 8T outperformed other models like the Bambu Lab H2C and the Snapmaker U1, completing 27 prints in one day and 35 minutes compared to the H2C’s 15 prints over three days and 10 hours. It also achieved a high score for dimensional accuracy, scoring 27 out of 30. The printer is available in both assembled and kit forms, with the assembled version being more user-friendly and the kit version offering a deeper understanding of the machine’s components. It comes with a heated chamber that reaches up to 55°C, a silicone wiper to clean the nozzle, and a purge collector to reduce waste. The printer is also designed for offline use, with an optional Wi-Fi module removal for added security. Despite its strengths, the printer has some drawbacks. The filament mounts are exposed, and users must manually feed the filament, which can be time-consuming. Its smaller build area may limit its usefulness for very large projects. However, its speed, reliability, and advanced features make it a strong competitor in the multitool 3D printer market.
