We asked Chris Riley of Chris’s Basement to have a look at our RMU Mk3 (Prusa Filament Buffer). We sent him a kit of parts and the STL files and he made it himself.
The review Chris gives here is in his is own words and other than supplying the kit of parts, we have not paid or sponsored him for this review.
We were blown away by what he had to say. See for yourself.

Here is how to load filament into your Mod-S and Mod-T filament buffer.
Assembly

The video tackles all the questions we have been asked so far.
You can also see the RMU in action later in the video with material changes
Technical challenges- PassThru adaptors
Early on we saw one challenge is that PassThru adaptors come in different sizes. M10-PC4 can come with a tapered thread

BF001: Completed printed buffer
We offer to produce and supply the complete RMU-Mk3. The total print time is nearly three days which some people may find onerous. The complete kit comes supplied with all the fittings pre-assembled so all you have to do is attach the top, base and the brackets and Teflon tubes.
You will receive all the component parts of the RMU-Mk3 plus a bill of materials, links to assembly instructions, tips and tricks and any other resources we think you might find useful.
