After a full redesign, this one is much better smiling smiley

It have a little less grip than the one with two spring but it still work fine (and could hold two if needed)

I replaced the default extruder with this design and it's working so much better. The extra leverage on the idler results in a much improved filament grip.

Only issue is that it doesn't have a nut trap for the pneufit. Nothing that some hot glue couldn't fix (but then, is there anything that's not improved by hot glue?).
