We start with the main event - the Prusa Index. This is Prusa’s new multi nozzle toolchanging system that lets you run up to 8 nozzles on the Core One, with the design allowing for up to 10 nozzles in the frame. It swaps both filament and nozzle, so you can mix different colours, different materials, and different nozzle sizes in one print. Flexible filaments, engineering materials, colour work, support materials - the Index is meant to handle it all. If you are searching for Prusa Index, Prusa multi material 2025, 8 nozzle Prusa, or Prusa colour toolchanger, this is where it all gets explained in plain language. Tommy also dives into how the Index reduces waste. Instead of huge purge towers, it uses a small prime tower to restore pressure after a swap, and because the nozzles have such a low thermal mass they cool down almost instantly when they unlock - so there is very little ooze and almost no traditional purging. Prusa are already expecting to make toolchanges 20 to 50 percent faster through firmware optimisation once the product matures. We then talk about the Core One itself and the Core One Signature Edition - the oak cabinet, Hi-Fi style, limited run version that looks like furniture rather than a workshop appliance. Only 250 units of the Signature are being made, each numbered and engraved, with a standard Core One sitting inside a custom wooden cabinet built by professional woodworkers. If you have been hunting for Core One Signature, living room friendly 3D printer, or wife approved 3D printer, you will see exactly why this thing stole so many glances at Formnext. From there we move to the ecosystem updates - especially the Core One Plus kit. Prusa did not want existing Core One owners to feel left out when they added new features like the automatic ventilation flap, so they built an upgrade path. You can buy the Core One Plus kit for around 10 euros or simply 3D print most of the parts yourself, update the firmware, and get the new functionality. No forced obsolescence, no “buy the new one or get lost”. We also get into the big nerd questions around scaling - including the often requested but not yet real Core One XL. Tommy explains why simply stretching the current exoskeleton and sheet metal design causes structural and stiffness problems, and why they cannot just make the Core One bigger without a serious rethink. If you are searching Core One XL rumours or Prusa large coreXY printer, this gives you the honest engineering reality rather than hype. There is more - we talk about the Prusa XL farm wall, the AFC automatic farm system, and how Prusa are leaning into proper farm mode. Think XL racks feeding sheets automatically, jobs queued in Prusa Connect, and prints being assigned to the next available machine with the right filament loaded. Whether you are running a one printer home setup or a small farm, this shows you where Prusa are going with automation and uptime. Finally, we cover software - including confirmation that PrusaSlicer 3.0 is coming, with a major UI overhaul, better workflows for multi nozzle and multi material, and more modern UX to compete with tools like Orca. If you have been comparing PrusaSlicer vs Orca Slicer and wishing Prusa would modernise the interface, this is where Tommy explains that 3.0 is heavily focused on exactly that. If you want to understand Prusa’s next chapter - Index, Core One, Core One Signature, Core One Plus, Prusa XL farms, and the upcoming PrusaSlicer 3.0 - this Formnext conversation is the clearest snapshot so far. 🎨 Support the channel and fuel your hobby addiction 🛡️ Loot Studios Sci-Fi Models - https://geni.us/LootStudiosSciFi 🧙 Loot Studios Fantasy Miniatures - https://geni.us/LootStudiosFantasy 🎁 Free Loot Minis - https://geni.us/LootStudiosFreebies 🧼 Grab a 3D Printer Cleaning Mat - https://geni.us/3DPrinterCleaningMat 🖌️ Artis Opus FauxHammer Essentials Brush Set - https://store.artis-opus.com/products/fauxhammer-mixed-brush-set-5-brush-deluxe 🧵 More from FauxHammer Website: https://www.fauxhammer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3dprintedminiatures Discord: https://discord.gg/dPexM9SeN4 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fauxhammerblog/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FauxHammerBlog 🧪 Looking for the best 3D printer for miniatures https://www.fauxhammer.com/top-10/the-best-3d-printer-for-miniatures-models 🎬 Try Video Editing by VidPros: https://app.vidpros.io/r/J50Z26
