I updated the idler rings.
In the original idler rings, the pins holding the ball bearings had a 3.85 mm diameter, which caused the ball bearings to move and loose tracktion and I had loading/unloading issue as the pulley was not able to push/pull the filaments with full force.
So, with this remix I increased the diameter of the pins to 4.05 mm and oh boy all my unload/unload issues are gone and the pulley can now push/pull the filaments much much stronger, and it allowed me to increased the speed by 5x and the acceleration by 10x which reduced my tool change times from 32 seconds to 13.5 seconds (video shows 15.5 seconds, but later on optimized the code to squeeze 2 more seconds out, my aim is to go sub 10 seconds).
