So my mod’ed ender 3 is nearing retirement so I’m looking to replace it in general the specs are
300mm build plate minimum
enclosed
multi-material I think I prefer multiple tool heads (negotiable)
not Bambu something more open source
I’m a couple of months out from pulling the trigger
Prusa Core One with an INDX.
Or a Core One L (generally better) but no INDX on release available. 
I keep seeing bambu, prusa indx and snapmsler vomparison videos. Has anyone actually used a snapmaker multi-setup?
I have an illogical discomfort with most of the Chinese printer brands. It’s a high horse I am on, and it’s got to do with misuse of IP and generally not “playing the game”.
Others have a similarly illogical discomfort with the Prusa brand while perhaps not quite understanding (or needing?) the super high level of customer support, community mods and upgrade path.
My current CoreOne+ started life as a Mk4>Mk4s>CoreOne all significant and supported upgrades and in total cost about the same as a CoreOne+ kit does new. I still suspect I’d have been better just selling and buying new, but it’s been fun all the way.
I’m biased, I will probably go the INDX route later this year (once @Tokoloshe and his band of beta testers are done! 
) and it may well be on a CoreOneL. That might buy me a year or two of stability - after all the CoreOne does all I need except material change at the moment.
I’m not sure if that’s helped, I could have just quoted @Tokoloshe and given one of those arrow up and a thumbs up emoji!
I have a Ratrig Vcore4 IDEX . Super nice. They’ve been slow on the MMU though so currently 2 materials. Unfortunately $$.
I should say I don’t mind assembling the printer just not a full scratch build
I think @Ryan has a Qidi Plus 4 and has given it good reviews. they have their Qidibox out, but I haven’t watched enough reviews to see if it’s any good.
The Qidi Plus 4 was on my shortlist, but I don’t have the money, so I’ve been investing more time with getting my MP3DPv4 working more like I want.
Ryan has 2 Plus 4’s. I believe one with a qidi box. I have 2 q2’s both with the qidi box and @Michael_Melancon has a q2 with the qidi box. They have worked really well for me and I have zero complaints. I also have 2 Q1 Pros that have been very solid work horses.
I have an Elegoo Centauri Carbon that does a great job. Enough so that I just bought a Centauri Carbon II to get the same performance with multi-material. It is due to arrive Monday. 256mm cube build volume is pretty sweet.
I also have a FlashForge Adventurer 5 which is quite good. 220mm cube build volume, mostly big enough, but the extra in the Carbon makes just enough difference.
I went snapmaker u1, I ordered it now since it will take a bit to show up (March)
I’m very interested to hear how this works out for you. Please post back your unboxing, initial review, first prints, and overall thoughts.
will do
