Greetings!
As we know Filament Management is key for reliable Multi Color / Material 3D Printing using an ERCF ( or any form of MMU ) which is why everyone and their Grandmothers Pooch have an opinion on what solution is best.
Question though is... How many rotations of a Spool can the Spring pick up before the Clutch takes over? The AMS Lite's Mixer sits essentially on top of the Tool Head so technically there's not a whole lot of retraction required ( maybe 10cm ) which is not enough for most ( if ANY ) ERCF setup where Bowden Tubes are usually in the 80-120cm range.
So yea... Anyone with information how many 360° Rotations of a Spool the Spring of an AMS Lite Rotary Spool Holder can take before the Clutch takes over? ( assuming there IS a Spring and Clutch in those )
