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.

Weekend Poll
There's been a quiet divergence over the last years.

The thought occurred to me this last week that the explicit notice in 3D printer handbooks against leaving them unattended has quietly disappeared. Chalk it up to manufacturers' confidence in the failsafes and design of their machines in 2026 perhaps. Of the modern printer handbooks that I scrubbed through to check my thinking for this poll, I could find only Prusa persisting with such a note.

Prints can easily run into the tens of hours or longer – meaning we’re all forced to draw our own line on risk. Where does your comfort level actually sit?
