## Verdict

The CORE One+ INDX is the pick for people who print a lot in several colors and hate purge waste, since it swaps whole toolheads instead of filament. Both TechRadar and Tom's Hardware rank it among the best printers they have tested. Skip it if you mainly print one color, need TPU, or want a big bed for the money.

## Pros

- Up to 8 filaments with almost no waste
- Fast tool changes, no purge tower
- Enclosed, quiet and works offline
- Sold assembled, as a kit, or as an upgrade

## Cons

- Expensive at $2,249 assembled with 8 tools
- Smaller bed than the regular CORE One+
- No TPU profile at launch
- Stock nozzles wear fast with abrasive filament

## Specs

- build volume: 248 x 205 x 270 mm (TechRadar, Tom's Hardware); a bit smaller than the regular CORE One+

- filament types: Tom's Hardware printed PLA, PETG and ASA or ABS; no Flex or TPU profile at launch. Stock nozzles are not hardened, rated for about 10 kg of PETG-CF or 5 kg of PC-CF (TechRadar)
- connectivity: Runs fully offline if you want (TechRadar, Tom's Hardware)
- noise: Very quiet in Tom's Hardware testing; no dB figure published

## Questions buyers ask

### Can I upgrade my existing CORE One+ to INDX?

Yes. All3DP lists a CORE One+ conversion kit at $999 for 8 tools or $749 for 4 tools. Gen 1 CORE One kits cost a bit more.

### How much filament does it waste on color changes?

Very little. Tom's Hardware measured about 13 mg per tool change and 18 g over a 1,646 change print.

### Can it print TPU?

Not well yet. Tom's Hardware found no Flex profile at launch and saw oozing and jams with TPU.
