MMU2S fil. buffer bypass

cults3d

Sometimes the best way to conquer a problem with a component is to cut it loose entirely. Prusa's filament buffer isn't perfect and its biggest headache is unnecessary extra friction that causes lots of failures in MMU's idler gears. In my case, this bypass became a real lifesaver. Just try it and feel the difference for yourself. After all, the idea is not destructive, so you can always go back to the buffer whenever you want. Use bolts from the Prusa's buffer to secure PTFE tubes in the bypass - just be careful not to overtighten them. Don't worry about how messy the filaments look without the buffer - they won't tangle during printing.
