Upgrades for the MMU2s Head Unit

I just finished up all my upgrades for the head unit of the MMU2s. I made quite a few changes.

-Base incorporates the front and back plate eliminating the need for the PTFE tubes in the front and added Festo inserts on the back.
-Blade selector has been changed to a dual blade system that is rock solid.
-Idler motor mount has been improved and simplified
-Idler body changed to make maintenance of the idler possible
-New frame mounts to set the MMU on a horizontal plane.
-Electrical cover modified to incorporate a switch to turn the MMU off when you want to run prints without it. Also improved cable management and aesthetic.

I would love to get everyone's thoughts on the changes.

RE: Upgrades for the MMU2s Head Unit

I'm just about to get my MMU2S in the mail tomorrow and these look like really interesting changes. Thanks for sharing this.. I'm certainly going to consider installing a few of these! Any guidance about which were the most significant improvements for your setup?

I think if I were only going to do one mod I would pick the base but each of the mods adds a lot of improvement and this was designed to use as a system.
