This kit is based on the "Wide Boy" IDEX design, which was deemed the most popular variant by the Rat Rig community. At the moment, there are no plans to offer kits for any alternative IDEX design. There are also no plans to offer an IDEX kit for the 200x200 V-Core size.

If you buy the printed parts (optional), you will receive the additional printed parts needed for the IDEX conversion (not a full machine printed part kit), including EVA printed parts for LGX Lite + Rapido (note that the kit does not include the extruder and hot-end themselves).
You can find the full BOM in the documentation below.
Warning: We recommend using ABS/ABS+/ASA for the printed parts, particularly on the parts inside the main printing chamber.
