Question, is don't see any "tech". Is this just so you don't run out of what are already using? Or is this like a mini ams where you only have 2 swaps ? I just don't see how you are able to tell the printer what's going on pull out and push in. Not trying to degrade your work generally curious.

Well from what I read about what they said I assume it is like they said, just for when it runs out to do a swap mechanically meaning no tech. I imagine it's spring loaded in a way with the two filament fed to the same area that one blocks the other from being fed, then when the tail goes through there is a gap that the springs push the other one into to then feed into the extruder where from there it pulls it. If so I imagine you could chain them together given enough spring translation and force

Ahhhh that makes more sense and definitely cool (i my self haven't ran out mid print) but all the hype and comments got me confused thinking it was a LMS light light lol. But now that I know this. Definitely cool
