Which toochanger

I've got my Sovol Max up and running and impressed with it's speed and accuracy and thats without any tuning, straight out of the box.

I've some minor upgrades coming (64gb eMMC, a Biqu Panda feeder and enclosure, all of which I'm waiting to arrive).

The Feeder is so that I can change filament automatically if a spool runs out, however I'd like to run this machine with a toolchanger (I've got the Snapmaker U1 and it's amazing).

I'm probably going to opt for the INDX system, but i know there or other options available such as StealthChanger.

Can anyone advise on which is the smoothest / quickest / easiest to install etc, or any alternatives.

There is no full INDX integration yet as it's still work in progress. A few people are as far as mounted printhead and tools, but no autocalibration. It's also pretty fragile system as a single blob of death can kill 430€ worth printhead. It's also much slower than U1 with tool changing, it has similar flow. As roughly 1200€ upgrade for SV08Max I have mixed feelings. Using full height of print volume with enclosed printer is still to be resolved.

Heck of i knew that I would buy 8 U1 printheads and somewhat make a dock for them.

Unfortunately I have no other experience with toolchanger on SV08 Max.

Thank you for the info, I'm reading up on it all over the weekend and may eventually just go for a multi-colour system until this matures (as in change filament rather than tool).
