Tooled Up
by Matthew Mensley Aug 27, 2025
Bambu Lab announced the Vortek yesterday, and Prusa has clapped back.

We knew a "next gen" MMU of some kind was in development at Prusa Research, but could this be the very first glimpse of the shape it will take? Shortly after Bambu Lab announced its future vision for multicolor printing, Josef Prusa took to X in typically wry fashion, posting a popcorn emoji and this image of a toolchanging Prusa Core One with at least six tool slots.

Interesting times.
