Filament mixer - 3D printers

extruder color filament-production

I have seen questions (for example, what prevents us from mixing colors of 3d filaments in the extruder?) and some solutions for mixing filament colors / materials at the time of printing for multi-color printing, but my question is different: is there (available) commercially available devices, or a DIY/homebrew solution, for 2 or more 1.75mm filaments, mixing them in proportion, and pressing back 1.75mm filament for printer use?

Basically, it just needs the N extruder drives to feed at the correct proportional speed, one of the multi-inlet heaters, the 1.75mm extrusion nozzle, and the other drive pull the extruded filament at the correct speed to keep the diameter stable. But I'm curious if anyone has tried to tweak this. Another approach might be to take a tip made for 3mm filament, drill a hole in the nozzle to 1.75mm, and put 3 pieces of 1. 75mm filament into it at the same time (the size seems to match pretty closely).

My interest in this is that I mostly print small things, and even one kilogram of thread takes several months, so it's not practical to buy and store a bunch of different colors. I would also like to experiment with mixing flex PLA and plain PLA to get a material with much less plasticizer so that it is not flexible, just less brittle.

Grinding into pellets and measuring ratios is too much work to be worth it. The key part of the question is to do this directly from thread to thread.
