Yes.  I was going to post the feed tube was not brutally simple.

Brutally simple is the feed system I use on my MendelMax:  Spools
mounted above the printer, without so much as a guide hook (the
rectangular opening at the top of the frame serves as a crude guide, I
guess).  The brackets were printed, and the PVC tube is the
re-purposed shipping container for the linear rods and Z axis lead screws.

This has worked well for me so far, but I also don't do overnight
unattended prints (about four hours is my longest print so far).

I realized I don't have any good wide shots in my videos, so I posted
a still on G+:
