As stated by the original project here:
Sometimes the filament gets stuck between the stepper motor and the drive gear of the nextruder. This design closes the gap between the stepper motor and the drive gear, thus limiting this source of problem. On the other hand, when the filament wraps around the gear it can damage or even destroy the load cell. This design also protects the load cell.
In the files tab, you can find gcode for printing using Prusa XL and 3mf files for Prusa Xl and Prusa Core 1/mk4.
