Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren't that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!
I've got a Prusa XL and this is love at first sight for me. My printer is direct drive, but the filament feed tubes are SO long to accommodate the bed size.
same here with my direct drive setup - these long feed tubes are such a pain to manually feed, i've spent waay too much time fighting with filament that gets stuck halfway through the tube.
