Automatic filament feeder?

Does anyone know if one exists out there? Ive had the printer for a month and yes feeding the filament is not a big deal but geeze I do think it's probably one of the weakest part of the printer that is otherwise so good!.  It shocks me that Prusa would not have had an auto feeder!  I have the 5T XL.

Hey there,

I totally get where you're coming from. It can be a bit frustrating having to manually feed the filament, especially when you've got a printer as good as the Prusa 5T XL. It does seem like something that should be standard, right? I haven't heard of any aftermarket auto feeders specifically for the Prusa, but it might be worth checking out some DIY solutions or seeing if there are any third-party accessories that could help. Hopefully, Prusa will take note of feedback like yours and consider adding auto feeders in future models. Hang in there!

Best,
