Isn’t this just a filament buffer? You can buy one on AliExpress for 10$

Link, because this is not what I think of when I hear filament buffer. This uses a motor to feed filament and it’s a tool so you can use it on lots of machines with reverse Bowden tubes.

Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren't that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!

I've got a Prusa XL and this is love at first sight for me. My printer is direct drive, but the filament feed tubes are SO long to accommodate the bed size.
