The CORE One+ INDX is Prusa's enclosed CoreXY printer fitted with Bondtech's INDX induction toolchanger: up to eight tools, each with its own nozzle, in a 248 x 205 x 270 mm build volume. It is for makers, workshops and businesses that want fast multi-colour and multi-material printing with almost no purge waste.
Does the Prusa CORE One+ INDX 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
SimplyPrint Client
Expected to work
Same firmware and electronics as the CORE One, which works with the SimplyPrint Client. How it handles eight tools isn't confirmed yet.
Connected through OctoPrint, SimplyPrint is expected to support most of what it offers on the Prusa CORE One+ INDX: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. Not available through OctoPrint: sync loaded filament from the multi-material unit. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs. The table below compares all 3 ways of connecting it to SimplyPrint.

What slicer to use for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX
Prusa printers use PrusaSlicer, Prusa's own slicer. There's no ready-made profile for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX in our cloud yet.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Prusa CORE One+ INDX: Use PrusaSlicer Online
Use PrusaSlicer and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Prusa CORE One+ INDX models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Prusa CORE One+ INDX: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX
Use SimplyPrint as the app for your Prusa CORE One+ INDX: watch and run it from your phone or any browser, slice in the cloud, and keep it next to your other printers. It's free to start. Prusa's own apps are Prusa app and Prusa Connect.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Enclosed printers push their prints out
The Prusa CORE One+ INDX's bed only moves up and down inside its enclosure, so instead of swapping plates, a push-off routine lets the toolhead push the cooled print off the plate and out through its front door, which has to be open while it runs. Some printers won't print with the door open (the Prusa CORE One has a door sensor), so check yours first.
Ways to automate it
Push prints off with the toolheadOn a CoreXY printer, a G-code routine can push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts.
Your own ejection G-codeWrite the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.

What filament can the Prusa CORE One+ INDX print?
Filament compatibility for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
Great
Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles
Great
The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA
Great
Enclosed, with a hot enough hotend and bed: ABS and ASA print well.
Nylon (PA)
Good
Doable with care - dry the filament thoroughly, and an enclosure helps a lot.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Good
In range for PC. Dry the filament, print slowly, and use an enclosure for the best results.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
What reviewers say about the Prusa CORE One+ INDX
Reviews from people who test printers for a living. We link to them; the opinions are theirs.
Tested a pre-assembled 8-tool unit. Found multicolour prints nearly waste-free and much faster than the Bambu Lab H2C on the same model, with a quick setup and a fully offline mode. Criticised the high price, the missing flexible-filament profile at launch and that the printer does not know filament colours.
“Prusa’s collaboration with Bondtech to produce the INDX toolchanger has produced a machine other manufacturers can’t wait to copy.”
Ran the assembled 8-tool version for three weeks after a slow first calibration and compared it with the Bambu Lab H2C and Snapmaker U1. Found it clearly faster at multicolour printing than both, with no misprints once settled in. Downsides: recalibration takes time, the workflow is new, and the bed is small.
“The speed is just unmatched by anything a multi-filament printer offers.”
Made with Layers · October 11, 2026
Thomas Sanladerer's video on the INDX toolchanger for the CORE One. Per its description, the INDX does a few things really well and many things not at all.
The Next Layer · July 14, 2026
First impressions after over 160 hours and nearly 15,000 tool changes on the Founders Edition: fast, reliable tool changes, automatic nozzle alignment and far less purge waste, with a list of quality-of-life fixes he wants before the production version. Sponsored by Onshape.
When to choose the Prusa CORE One+ INDX
Choose the INDX when multi-colour or multi-material is the point and you want it fast and nearly waste-free: Tom's Hardware ran the same model nearly nine hours faster than the Bambu Lab H2C with 83.58 g less waste, and TechRadar found it clearly faster than the H2C and the Snapmaker U1. The Snapmaker U1 is the cheaper four-colour toolchanger ($849 in Tom's Hardware), and the H2C has a larger 330 x 320 mm bed. If you only print one material, the standard CORE One+ is the same printer without the toolchanger.
Pros
Up to eight tools with a nozzle each: Prusa quotes about 12 seconds and 0.013 g of waste per colour change with no purge tower, and Tom's Hardware measured 18 g of waste over 1,646 tool changes.
Tom's Hardware found it nearly nine hours faster than the Bambu Lab H2C on one model, and TechRadar found it clearly faster than the H2C and Snapmaker U1, with no misprints in three weeks once calibrated.
Fully enclosed with a chamber that reaches 55 °C and smart ventilation, so ASA, PC and nylon print without warping and PLA can print with the door closed.
You can mix nozzle sizes (0.25 to 1.0 mm) and materials in one print, for example soft TPU grips on rigid PETG or PLA parts.
Runs fully offline, with open firmware, an EU build and no subscription; Tom's Hardware names reliability, right to repair and data security as Prusa's strengths.
Expected to work with SimplyPrint through the SimplyPrint Client, OctoPrint or Prusa Direct, but we have not confirmed it yet.
Cons
It is a splurge (Tom's Hardware), and the assembled 8-tool version costs the most; a 4-tool version can be upgraded later.
The bed is smaller than the CORE One+'s because the tool rack takes 15 mm of depth and 2 mm of width, leaving 248 x 205 mm.
The stock nozzles are not designed for long runs of abrasive filament; Prusa rates them for about 10 kg of PETG-CF or 5 kg of PC-CF.
Early-product gaps: no official flexible-filament profile at launch and TPU jammed in Tom's Hardware's test, the printer does not know filament colours, and TechRadar found calibration slow at first.
No camera in the box; a night-vision camera is a separate accessory.
Who it suits
SchoolsGood fit
Enclosed, offline-capable and quick to set up, and Tom's Hardware calls it easy enough for school kids; the price and a newer, more complex toolchanger are the catch.
HobbyistsGood fit
Reviewers rate its multi-colour speed and waste above the H2C and U1, but it costs well above entry-level multi-colour printers.
BusinessesGreat fit
Fast, waste-free multi-material in an enclosed, serviceable, offline-capable machine from a maker known for support and repairability.
Print farmsGood fit
Reviewers report reliable running and Prusa builds on its farm-proven CORE One+, but SimplyPrint support is unconfirmed and no bed-clearing kit is listed.

Prusa Research is a Prague company founded in 2012 by Josef Průša, who came from the open-source RepRap project. It designs and builds the Original Prusa and Prusa CORE printers, makes Prusament filament, develops the PrusaSlicer slicer and runs the Printables model site. Printers are built in Prague and at its US site in Delaware, sold assembled or as kits, and used by hobbyists, schools, businesses and print farms.

Prusa is the most open of the large brands: GPL firmware, an open slicer, full local control without an account and spare parts for everything. Hardware design files now come under Prusa's own Open Community License, which allows personal and in-house business use but not selling machines.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
Firmware for current printers is published on GitHub under GPL-3.0 and updated with every release. Official firmware is signed, but Prusa documents how to flash custom firmware by breaking a seal on the board and says this does not void the warranty. Prusa says firmware and printable parts are shared right away and electronics schematics later.
[1][2][3]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
PrusaLink, built into the CORE One, MK4S, MK3.9, MK3.5 and XL, handles monitoring, file uploads and print control on the local network without internet or an account, and printing from USB works offline. Prusa publishes PrusaLink's HTTP API as an OpenAPI specification on GitHub, and its help centre covers OctoPrint setup. Prusa Connect is an optional cloud service for remote access.
[4][15]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Printers are open to any filament; PrusaSlicer is GPL-licensed and other slicers work. Instead of a locked RFID system, Prusa created OpenPrintTag, an NFC spool-tag standard that is free for any brand to use and works offline.
[5][6]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
The e-shop sells spare parts for each printer, printable parts are published, and the full CORE One CAD files are released. Prusa's open-source page says its goal is printers that stay moddable and easy to repair for decades, and its licence explicitly allows making spare parts for your own machines.
[7][3][5]
Data and privacy ●●●●●
No account is needed for local use through PrusaLink or USB. Prusa Connect needs a Prusa account and stores G-codes and telemetry in the cloud. Prusa Research is an EU company and publishes its privacy policy and a Trust Center.
[4][8]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Large community around Printables and the forum, a detailed knowledge base, and firmware and slicer developed in public on GitHub with open issue trackers.
[1][4]
Pros
GPL firmware with a documented, warranty-safe way to flash custom firmware.
Full control on the local network through PrusaLink, with no account needed.
Spare parts for every printer, published printable parts and released CAD files.
Kits available for people who want to build and understand their printer.
Made in Prague, with a second factory in Delaware for US buyers.
OpenPrintTag is an open spool-tag standard any brand can use.
Cons
Hardware files use Prusa's own OCL licence, which bars selling machines built from them; it is not an OSI open-source licence.
Electronics schematics are published later than firmware and printable parts.
Remote access and cloud storage need Prusa Connect and an account.
Track record
July 2026: Printed Solid, the Delaware company Prusa Research bought in 2022, was renamed Prusa USA. Its Wilmington site builds the MK4S and CORE One+, makes filament and is Prusa's US service centre.
[9]
December 2025: Prusa released the full CAD files of the CORE One under its new Open Community License (OCL). OCL allows modifying, sharing mods and in-house commercial use, and grants patent and repair rights, but bars selling machines built from the files without an agreement, so it is not a standard open-source licence. Prusa said it is also filing patents on its designs.
[5]
October 2025: Prusa launched OpenPrintTag, a published NFC standard for smart filament spools that any brand can use without licence fees, starting with redesigned Prusament spools.
[6]
November 2024: Prusa announced the CORE One, its first fully enclosed CoreXY printer with active chamber temperature control.
[10]
March 2023: Josef Průša wrote that open source in 3D printing was under strain from cloners and licence violations. With the MK4, Prusa released firmware sources and models of the plastic parts but held back the electronics plans, planning to publish them later under a new licence.

Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Prusa CORE One+ INDX?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Prusa CORE One+ INDX that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the Prusa CORE One+ INDX print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 300C, heated bed up to 120C), the Prusa CORE One+ INDX handles PLA, PETG, TPU & flexibles, or ABS & ASA well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the Prusa CORE One+ INDX work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Prusa CORE One+ INDX works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Prusa CORE One+ INDX's bed size and build volume?
The Prusa CORE One+ INDX has a 248 x 205 mm print bed and prints up to 270 mm tall, a build volume of about 248 x 205 x 270 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
When did the Prusa CORE One+ INDX come out?
Prusa launched the CORE One+ INDX on August 20, 2026.
Can the Prusa CORE One+ INDX eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
Where can I buy the Prusa CORE One+ INDX?
