Automatic Filament Loader Early Prototype.

This was the first prototype I came up for the automatic filament loader. I did not continue this design as I wanted to have the filament feed straight in. This design did not accommodate more flexible filaments well as it cause enough flexing to interrupt feeding.

Very neat! Not sure why people give you heat

Interesting idea. You'd suffer a lack of retractions until the new filament reached the nozzle though.
