As Jadelabo is a startup that so far has not released any product, this post and topic is NOT a review but merely speculative comment based on announced specs. To find out what the J1 might be requires reading everything (and I do mean everything) posted on both their kickstarter page:
Jadelabo on Kickstarter
and their website:
When browsing the sites listed above keep in mind that the product, when (and if) delivered, should be somewhat different than the prototype shown in the images and videos.
My opinions:
Pros:
What are your views? Will the J1 be a reasonable choice for an IDEX printer?
Disclaimer: I am NOT associated in any way with Jadelabo, but merely interested in what you might think about the proposed product’s features/specs.
Edit: it occured to me that compatiblity with high temp materials almost puts the J1 in the engineering class of 3D printers and thus could be a reason for the rather high prices.

My opinions:
Pros:
- Full frame for rigidity.
- IDEX with silicon parking pad for inactive extruder.
- Easily swapable hotends.
- Ships fully assembled.
- Both fully enclosed and open versions.
- Easy calibration.
- Compatible with hi-temp materials.
- Detection of filament jams as well as runout.
- Small build volume for the announced price.
