Easy Loading !! Prusa I3 MMU2(s) Buffer Festo M6 Entry

thingiverse

For everyday use, I often think about ditching the MMU entirely despite its usefulness for multi-colored and multi-material prints, it's just a hassle to switch between colors and materials daily. Josef is working on installing a bypass and that will be pure heaven! Tired of wasting time loading filaments into the buffer tubes connected to the MMU. It's hard to fit fingers inside the small space in the buffer to load the filament into the upper tube. I designed two pieces with 5 Festo 6mm connectors, moving them away from the buffer makes it easy to load filaments into the buffer and the tube connected to the MMU. Here is the link to the type of Festo connectors I used: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2uuKMqAk Choose PC4-M6.
