Convenient buffer for Lack enclosure v.2 ?

Hi.
I have MMU2S about 2 years and I've still printed multicolore maybe twice.
I assembled the enclosure v.2 and I don't have any space outside the enclosure at all (even on the top I don't have a permanent place), so using the original buffer is тtoo much inconvenient, and not to mention loading the filament.
I'm looking for buffer that I can place inside and has convinient loading without to open and desasamble the buffer and the enclosure for it , with minimal intervention.
Please advise from your own experience.

Thank you in advance.

Where would you put your spools? Your buffer can go there, it doesn't have to be right at the printer for it to work.

But to answer the question, there are a couple of buffers that are made to mount on the side of the printer. I doubt I'd want to try to use them inside of a Lack enclosure though. Here's one: https://filamentbuffer.co.uk/ and a free version of that one: https://www.printables.com/model/77054-mmu2s-buffer-inspired-by-rmu-buffer I don't recall the names of the others, so I can't give direct links to them.

I use https://www.printables.com/model/30811-mmu-slot-buffer and have it mounted to the top of my Lack enclosure. There are remixes that make it self mountable. At a glance, it looks like I might be able to slide my printer over and fit this buffer inside of the closure.

Of course I saw these buffers , but it has a little tedious loading. I want to place the buffer inside the enclosure in order not to collect a ton of dust on it. I live in a dusty area. 
I liked this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3847626 , and printed one part as prototype to check it, and it sometimes doesn't works smothly .... but the idea is very good.
