Product description: INDX 8-Tool Conversion Kit for Original Prusa CORE One/+ 3D printers
The INDX 8-Tool Conversion Kit for the Prusa CORE One+ is an innovative tool changer that overcomes the limitations of typical multi-material solutions based on a single nozzle. The kit equips the CORE One+ printer with eight independent passive tools , each with its own material path and nozzle . This eliminates the need for cleaning towers and significantly reduces filament waste during material changes. Induction heating technology allows the extruder to reach operating temperature in seconds, while the intelligent Dynamic Dual Drive extruder automatically adjusts the pressure to the filament type . This allows for seamless combining of rigid, flexible, soluble, and composite materials in a single print . The kit retains all the benefits of the CORE One+ printer, including a closed build chamber, high build speed, and full integration with PrusaSlicer and Prusa Connect.

Key Features of the INDX 8-Tool Conversion Kit
- Support for up to 8 independent tools - the ability to use eight loaded filaments simultaneously
- Multi-material printing - a separate material path for each nozzle eliminates filament mixing
- Induction nozzle heating - quickly reaches operating temperature without traditional heaters
- Minimal material loss - only about 0.013 g of waste during tool change
- No cleaning towers - almost full utilization of the work surface
- Multi-material support - compatible with PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, PC, PCCF, PA, TPU, PVA and BVOH
- Dynamic Dual Drive - automatic pressure adjustment for different materials
- Hardened CHT nozzles - high material flow and resistance to abrasive filaments
- Compatible with any 1.75mm filament - no RFID or proprietary spool restrictions
- Tool change in about 12 seconds - high efficiency for complex prints
- Compatibility with PrusaSlicer and EasyPrint - easy preparation of multi-color models
INDX Tool Changer - Eight heads for maximum design freedom
The INDX utilizes an advanced tool-changing system that allows for up to eight independent nozzles . Each tool has its own material path, preventing filament mixing and color contamination. while printing. You can simultaneously use different materials, such as PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA, and carbon fiber composites. An additional advantage is the ability to use different nozzle diameters from 0.25 mm to 1 mm within a single project. This allows you to combine high-quality details with the rapid printing of larger components.
INDX uses independent tool technology, which allows each nozzle to have its own material path.
One of the biggest advantages of the INDX system is the almost complete elimination of waste generated during filament changes.
No more filament waste when printing multi-materials
Unlike traditional single-nozzle systems, the INDX eliminates the need for cleaning towers or the generation of large amounts of waste. Only about 13 mg of plastic is removed per tool change . This keeps operating costs low, even with complex multi-color prints. The absence of cleaning blocks also means more efficient use of the printer's workspace . The Advanced Nozzle Wiper system further ensures nozzle cleanliness and high-quality print surfaces.
Innovative technologies used in the INDX system
The heart of the system is the active Smart Head , equipped with a contactless induction coil responsible for rapid nozzle heating. Passive tools contain no electronics, making them simpler, more reliable, and less expensive to upgrade. The Dynamic Dual Drive mechanism automatically adjusts the filament pressure to the type of material being used . Nozzle temperature is monitored wirelessly, reducing the number of cables and consumables. This is complemented by a precise tool calibration system operating outside the printer's workspace.
Dynamic Extruder DX automatically adjusts the filament pressure to suit the material type, ensuring smooth switching between flexible and rigid filaments without manual adjustment.
The INDX system works with EasyPrint and PrusaSlicer.
EasyPrint and PrusaSlicer - quick preparation of multi-color models
The INDX kit works with the free EasyPrint and PrusaSlicer tools , which significantly simplify the preparation of multi-material models. Intuitive painting functions allow you to assign colors and materials directly to selected parts of the 3D model . EasyPrint works from a web browser, smartphone, or tablet, making project preparation possible virtually anywhere. Advanced users can take advantage of the full capabilities of PrusaSlicer, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The software automatically manages tool changes and optimizes the printing process.
