    As mentioned in another comment, I don’t think it’s delayed, unless you want an assembled one. They’ve sold the first batch of upgrade kits, shipping September, with more upgrade kits coming soon and full Core One+ with INDX coming later (as kits and assembled).

    If you’re itching and want to learn more before getting into toolchangers, the Core One (and One+) announced today are a great place to start, and can be upgraded in the future as newer models release.

    Not delayed AFAIK - just not with “hardened” steel nozzles. They currently have nozzles that are steel and hardened, but not hardened to the level of printing carbon fiber, glass fiber, glow in the dark and other filled materials. ~20HRC vs ~50HRC, where standard brass are ~5HRC.

    Personally I’m not doing multicolour and multimaterial with filled materials so not a big deal to me, but it’d be nice to have the option I suppose.

    I received my INDX dev kit a few days ago, and I’m currently working through the installation on a Voron 2.4. It’s been a lot of fun so far, hopefully using it goes as well. Can’t speak for the Prusa side of course but knowing them they have better documentation and support.

    +1 for ZigBee - if cost is a factor you can get really cheap ZigBee devices from AliExpress and the like - $10 or less per temperature sensor. Z-wave requires certification for all devices supporting it, so they tend to be more expensive and more limited in variety.

    Blakadder’s ZigBee Repository is a great resource for verifying device compatibility with your chosen ZigBee integration - ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt. This might depend on your coordinator choice, as some (such as the Home Assistant Gen 1 usb-drive ones) only support ZHA, for example.

    For a coordinator, the Home Assistant brand ones are reportedly quite good, especially the second gen one. I personally use a SMLight SLZB-06, reasonably priced and supports power over Ethernet, so I have it wall mounted centrally. I also have my home assistant instance running in a separate building, so something that works over IP was a must.
