INDX, In-Stock
INDX isn't just for Prusa, you know?

Bondtech has announced that the INDX Development Kit will be available to order from Friday, July 3, at 9 AM CEST (3 AM Eastern/12 AM Pacific). Excellent news if you have a DIY machine you want to graft Bondtech's lean, inductively-heated nozzle swapping mechanism onto.

Due to limited stock, the company advises you to log in to the Bondtech website ahead of launch day, and to be ready minutes before the product goes live. Pricing has not yet been revealed, but Bondtech has indicated it will be higher than the limited-run Founder's Edition.

Flyin' Purple Filament Eater
E3D continues to offer the jazziest looking 3D printer upgrades going.

New for Bambu Lab's first-gen CoreXY machines, E3D now offers Bastion Coated Gears – a £45 (~$60) drop-in replacement for the X1C, X1E, P1S and P1P 3D printers. The main draw is a diamond-like carbon coating on the drive gears and hobbs that's hard-wearing and self-lubricating, E3D says.

Colorway completionists won't be able to pair them with the purple high-flow ObXiDian 500 nozzles – only the newer Bambu Lab machines get those – but as a standalone upgrade for your long-running X1C, X1E, P1P, or P1S, it's likely a fine and funky addition all the same.
