I'm almost certainly going to buy either a Sovol M1D or a Prusa Core One + w/INDX within the next few hours, but I'm am having trouble deciding on which would be better. I'll share my thoughs, please share whatever feedback you have.

I feel like I have completely outgrown my old bedslinger, I miss being out of my depth and forced to learn, and I've saved up quite a bit of money in order to get a printer that will give me lots of new techniques and technologies to learn. I primarily want to add multi-color, multi-material, and a heated chamber for materials like ABS. I've decided that I'd like to get all these capabilities in a single printer, as I don't have a huge amount of space in my apartment for my hobbies.

I'm leaning towards the M1D, as i find the IDEX system and larger print volume, at a slightly lower price, to be very alluring. Although the fact that the M1D is still in its pre-release phase does give me some pause.

The Core One+ wins a number of points though. I have friends with Prusas and in my experience the prusa polish is incredible, and I know that Sovol may have slightly lower build quality. The slightly smaller size of the printer, while a sacrifice in print volume, would make finding space for it far easier. Finally since the Core One is already released I wouldn't have to wait for December for the printer to arrive.

Appologies if I have formatted this poorly, this whole post is just slightly edited stream of thought.

Honestly his little sad face made me regret everything.

He's trying to hide, but he purrs so loud you can hear him from across the room.

A few months back I build a wireless Lily58 to replace my wired Lily. And while for the most part I love it, I have noticed that the left "central" half drains it's battery 2-3x faster than the peripheral half(typically in less than 72 hours. This has lead to me keeping it plugged in most the of the time.

I have read that getting a dedicated dongle can help improve this, and I'll definitely look into that, but I was wondering if there was any modifications that may improve the lifespan.
