How do you actually change the filament? Do you just push in a new one and it starts rolling in? There is no open-close mechanism like on iRoberts V2 feeder.

I made some modifications to this design to get it working on my Frankenstein UM Original (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/modified-sp3d-feeder-for-mk8-drive-gear). Those aside, I have to say this is probably the best feeder that I've bolted on, and I've tried many over the years. Thanks!

hi @SolidPrint3D ! thank you for sharing - i need to modify it a bit because i want to install it at an UMO with an MK8 drive gear, can you therefore maybe share the STEP files with us? thank you!

Very slick design and very easy to print. Love the addition of the tension gauge.Printed mine with reduced height (chopped 2mm off the bottom in Cura) so I could use the standard screws. Should have chopped only 1.9 or 1.8mm so the side holes stayed covered. I actually don't like the quick material change of other feeders and prefer using the standard material change function of the UM2 (like this feeder supports). When the filament gets stuck I just pull the bowden tube from the top of the print head.Thanks!
