OK, I did it. We leave here in exactly one week. As long as the lead time is more than a week all will be well with the world!

Update:
Made it from Brussels to Brisbane with the help of disability assist for my beloved in those airports plus Dubai, arrived home 9:00 Thurs after the usual 40 hours or so - first Doctor’s appt 3:00pm, referred to specialist, CT scans 11:00 today, next round of surgery set for Tuesday, and the time clock starts again on mobility. Who’d want a broken foot?
Upgrade kit arrived this afternoon earlier than expected, and will sit by the front door for some time I imagine!

I hate it when the next $1000 update is teased before I have even opened the box on the last $1000 upgrade!

Yeeeees, baby, MMU 4 with Bondtech INDX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCmGoP0uNlM), what we were expecting, and the filament holders are at the front beam behind the door, so easily accessible.
Who wants to buy an MMU3? 
I told you so.
Now as to timing. INDX is due for an official release in November.
My guess is that Prusa and Bondtech have been collaborating for a long time on this, and Jo P is hinting at that in his post, so maybe it will work from the start?
I did have the MMU before and the hat was 39€. I am not sure whether I am going to financially recover from it… 
Last time he said it was far out, didn’t sound like half a year… normally he says “soon” and means years…

It’s not coincidental I think - this week’s Chinese tool changers may well have once again forced them to release earlier than they’d prefer.

Do you have a link, I didn’t pay attention…
I refuse to answer questions from people who haven’t searched first!

Some people here aren’t retired and can’t dilly-dally on the internet all day…

Hey, I’m a full time carer! Jo is out of hospital today - after another couple of hours of untangling the inner workings of her foot - more titanium, wire and screws. She now has to lie with her foot elevated for two weeks except for - quote “toilet privileges”
Surgeon asked if we knew she broke all five toes as well - we had no idea!! Could be 18 months till we are cleared to travel!
I’ve set her up in the living room so she can watch me on the CoreOne build!

That might be the first real innovation of Bambu. Wow. Prusa really needs to hurry.

How close is it to the indx? (Asking for a mischievous friend).

Or maybe it’s the other way round, that idex vortek video is 5 months ago, Bambi’s ‘innovative’ version has just been announced.

That’s exactly what my friend was wondering!
Okay, the general idea is the same but the details seem to differ greatly. And if you can develop something based on just a teaser video, I’d say go ahead.

That print at the end still had a purge tower in the back, right?
You still have to flush the newly heated nozzle to get the flow working well. I agree, this is the “first” thing they are going to do to try and fix it.
