I thought the point of a nozzle changer was to save money compared to a full hotend+extruder changer, because you don't have to double up as many parts.

But that INDX system is so expensive, it doesn't make sense.

This describes all of Prusa for the last 3 years. They've definitely lost their edge in the face of modern competitors now that everyone has moved away from bed slingers.

Yeah... the industry moved far away and left them behind.

It's pretty ridiculous to think that a Snapmaker U1 is cheaper than a Prusa MK4S. And for just €50 more than the MK4S you get a full enclosure for the U1.
