Properly tuned PA achieves this well enough without the need for the sensor I would say.

I dont know how effective this sensor is, but if its as good as they want people to believe then a number of "unicorn chasing" mods like filament width/diameter sensors, or just tuning of pa and extrusion multiplier at all could become unnecessary. I don't have any bambu printers, let alone models with the sensor, so I don't actually know how good it is.

Currently I waste a chunk of time and maybe a buck of filament per roll on extrusion multiplier calibration. width sensors can mitigate it well enough most of the time but they all have the same limitation of oval sections being possible to read two ways. A nozzle pressure sensor would also be the ideal companion to a pellet extruder.

If I didn't have to dedicate most of my waking life to my shitty job to stay alive, I'd probably be buying a bunch of parts and giving money to pcbway or jlcpcb and making a bunch of shitty failures of trying to replicate the functionality.
