If someone discovers a more suitable English name for this device, please share your suggestion in the comments. This handy tool is designed to assist external filament holders with heavy 2 kg rolls. It enables the stepper motor to pull the filament more efficiently and smoothly. This significantly minimizes Z wobble for me. To install it, you'll need a pneumatic pipe fitting with an M6 thread, commonly used in many Bowden setups. The holder itself does not have any threads; simply screw it into place. It's slightly easier to do so with a clean soldering iron, but pliers will also get the job done. A filament sensor is optional, of course. I've kept the original screw and nut intact.
