MMU2 Filament Location

As we wait for the MMU2 to ship I wonder where the best location for the material to be located is. It appears to me that the MMU2 PTFE tubes angle down and I wonder if it will be better suited to have the material come up from under the printer or if a more traditional location above the printer is still better? Just eyeing my current space and curious to how I may want to set this up.

I suspect a location under the printer would be more complex to use. With longer tubes

Re: MMU2 Filament Location

I think it's possible that the PTFE filament feed tubing could be a problem - it may interfere with the extruder cable bundle, especially when printing taller objects 🙁

It may be necessary to contrive something to lift those tubes.
