| Property | Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) INDXTOOLCHANGER | Voron 2.4COREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Prusa Research | Voron Design |
| Class | TOOLCHANGER | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) INDX, listed as "INDX 4-Tool" and "INDX 8-Tool" variants and as an "INDX 8-Tool Assembly kit"[1][2] | Voron 2.4, current revision R2, kits shipping as Rev D and Rev D+. Sold as "Voron 2.4 R2 (Rev D+) 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[3][4] |
| Release date (announcement and actual shipping) | Announced as shipping on 20 August 2026 ("INDX, Shipping Has Started, Complete Printers Open for Orders"). Prusa's own front page in Aug 2026 announces "Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) INDX, Shipping Has Started, Complete Printers Open for Orders", with the assembled 8-tool machine quoted as shipping from 15 October and the kit from 29 October[5][1] | Not documented |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $1,850.93 for the INDX 4-Tool and $2,082.41 for the INDX 8-Tool on prusa3d.com, Aug 2026; the 8-Tool assembly kit is $1,804.63. Camera and filtration bundles run to $2,152.78[1][2] | $1,399.99 for the LDO Rev D+ kit at Fabreeko (300 mm and 350 mm are the same price), on pre-order with a mid-September estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live feed shows the base 2.4 kit listing at $1,299.99 and available. 3DJake lists an LDO 350 RevD kit but will not ship to the US[3][6][7] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | INDX is a multi-tool option on the CORE One+ (Gen 2) product page rather than a separate printer, sold in 4-tool and 8-tool configurations, plus a CORE One/+ INDX conversion kit for existing machines. All of the body, hotend, bed and electronics figures below come from that shared CORE One+ (Gen 2) page and were not published separately for the INDX machine, so treat them as platform figures. Prusa also sells the unrelated MMU3, which multiplexes five filaments through one nozzle[2][1] | Sizes 250, 300 and 350 mm; LDO ships Rev D and Rev D+. Colours black, space grey, blue. Do not confuse with the Trident: the 2.4 lifts the whole gantry on four belted Z motors, the Trident lifts the bed on three screws. The Rev D+ kit includes a Raspberry Pi 4B; the older 3DJake-listed RevD kit explicitly does not include a Pi[3][4][7][8] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 250 x 220 x 270 mm - the CORE One+ (Gen 2) figure from the shared product page; Prusa does not publish a separate INDX build volume[2] | 300 x 300 x 300 mm or 350 x 350 x 350 mm. Sortable value is the 350 mm kit[3][4][7] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | 415 x 444 x 555 mm - shared CORE One+ (Gen 2) figure[2] | Not documented |
| Frame construction & material | Not documented | Blind-joint aluminium-extrusion frame with a complete panel set; stainless-steel linear rails throughout[4][7] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Fully enclosed with active chamber heating up to 55 C (shared CORE One+ platform)[2] | Enclosed by the supplied panel set. A Nevermore Micro V5 internal circulation filter is included in the LDO kit[7] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY with a multi-tool head-changing system (INDX); Prusa's comparison table gives CoreXY for the CORE One family[2] | CoreXY on linear rails, with a belted flying gantry on four Z motors[4][3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers, ready for 48 V upgrades[3] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Nextruder direct drive, 10:1 planetary gearbox (shared platform)[2] | Clockwork 2 with a Bondtech BMG / Integrated Drive Gear Assembly, in a Stealthburner toolhead[3][4][7] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | E3D Revo Voron (24 V), all-metal, high-flow variant in the Rev D+ kit, with a 60 W heater; upgradeable to a Phaetus Rapido HF for $9.99[3][4][7] |
| Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values) | 290 C claimed max nozzle temperature, 400 C with the optional HT hotend (shared platform)[2] | Not documented |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | Not documented | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater)[3] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | 120 C max heatbed temperature (shared platform)[2] | Not documented |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Not documented | Cast 5083 aluminium plate with a magnetic base and a powder-coated PEI sheet; LDO silicone bed heater with edge-to-edge heating[4][3][7] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Load-cell sensor, fully automatic first-layer calibration (shared platform)[2] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts included. Voron Tap is available as an add-on rather than standard[3][4] |
| Filament Handling & Detection | ||
| Filament runout sensor (type, location) | Filament sensors fitted (two on the CORE One+ platform)[2] | Not documented |
| Multi-material/multi-color capability or official upgrade path | INDX gives up to eight filaments; the alternative MMU3 handles five through a single nozzle[2] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | Custom 32-bit xBuddy board with STM32 (shared platform)[2] | LDO x Voron Leviathan mainboard (replacing the earlier BTT Octopus), plus a Nitehawk SB USB toolhead PCB[4][3][7] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Open-source Prusa Buddy firmware. The source tree (prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy on GitHub) explicitly covers the Original Prusa MINI/MINI+, MK4, XL and CORE One and was last pushed to in August 2026. Updates are applied from a USB drive, through Prusa Connect or through the Prusa mobile app[9][10] | Klipper, hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4B (included in the Fabreeko Rev D+ kit, not in the older 3DJake RevD kit)[3][4][7] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | 3.5-inch 65k-colour touch screen (shared platform)[2] | 4.3-inch touchscreen included in the LDO kit[7] |
| WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-drive | Ethernet and Wi-Fi, USB drive (shared platform)[2] | Not documented |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED strips included[3][7] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Not documented | Self-assembly kit; some parts must be printed by the user, and the LDO kit supplies pre-cut, pre-crimped cables and a heat-set insert soldering tip[7] |
| Materials Support | ||
| Officially supported filament list | PLA, PETG, Flex, PVA, PC, PP, CPE, PVB; ABS, ASA, HIPS and PA as advanced materials in the heated chamber (shared platform)[2] | Not documented |
| Reliability, Support & Ecosystem | ||
| Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes) | 2-year warranty for consumers in the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland; 1 year for EU enterprises and 1 year for the rest of the world, which includes the United States. A printer bought from a reseller or privately carries 1 year from the original delivery date and is handled by the reseller. Prusa advertises 24/7 chat and e-mail support in seven languages[11][10] | Not documented |
Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
