Or Linda Hamilton’s in Terminator 2, except literally.

It’s a partnership and the INDX isn’t a separate printer, just a new extruder, so it’s not like Prusa has no involvement. I would say “completely” is inaccurate here. If it were solely the effort of INDX, they wouldn’t need to partner with Prusa. There are other third parties that release mods for printers that aren’t collaborations with the original manufacturer.

If Prusa hired the INDX engineers from BondTech instead of partnering, would you still consider it completely separate? A company is just composed of current employees. At what point is it Theseus’ ship of development?

And that’s not even considering the CORE One, the recent CORE One+ update, the CORE One L announcement, the OpenPrintTag, et al. They’ve been announcing more new stuff in the last year at a faster rate than previous years.

Ever seen The Prestige?

Granted it’s from a partnership, but the INDX extruder seems to be on the cusp, so the idea that Prusa is behind seems odd. And the fact that they’re more open and consumer friendly than Bambu is great. There are a lot of affordable printers that have benefited from Prusa’s development while Prusa is still dropping new developments, seemingly at a greater rate now than previously.

I do this probably once a day at my makerspace. Sometimes it is the manufacturer’s fault and sometimes it’s just that the roll has gotten a tangle while being moved from machine to machine or machine to rack.

I don’t put my finger on the tangle, but usually the tangle isn’t obvious in the spool so you can’t even if you wanted to.

It’s really just a matter of spinning the filament around the roll enough to get some slack, then you pull it over the side and sort it out. Usually the fix involves pushing the filament around the spool to unbind it.

This is another one of those issues that you typically detect by hearing an abnormal sound since you’re not watching every print all the time across multiple printers.

There are too many to mention since there’s so much out there.
