This is a check valve (one way valve) for filament which can be used eg for MMU applications.
Use a ball with 4mm in diameter. You can find one in every 608 bearing.
It is meant to be a concept but it actually works very well.
The screw which holds the ball in place could be replaced by a closed canal for the ball and placing the ball in during printing. This makes it airtight too.
Use higher infill density than me so it props the ball well.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
