Stern-Wheeler - teookie
The Stern-Wheeler is a filament buffer for multi-material-single-nozzle FDM 3D printers. It has a completely enclosed circular design which makes loading filament very easy (see video linked below). Three sizes (mini, standard, and mega) will buffer roughly 640mm, 1068mm, and 1294mm of filament respectively, and can be printed on square 250mm, 300mm, and 350mm (or larger) print beds. The instructions are written for the 9 lane variant, but if you prefer the 6 lane, use the relevant 6 lane parts.
