I have tried everything I can think of but every time it goes to switch colors the 1st color is stuck in my extruder still just after the gears with a blob. I have tried reseting by holding switch for 22 seconds and get the vibrations confirming. I have tried adjusting the Gcode generated distanced for hotted to nozzle, adjusted nozzle temperatures both lower and higher but nothing works. We need better instructions. Its such a pain watching every video to find one piece of info you need

Ok... maybe we need to allow the extruder to run backwards while it's pulling out the filament from it... I'd suggest adding some new tool change gcode to include an E-50 command somewhere. (Note, I added the backout command before the G4... but I also reduced the G4 by the same time... so 50mm = 25mm/second = 2 seconds... so S10 now is S8.) G0 X3 Y3 F2000 ; press the button
G0 E-50 F1500 ; run the extruder backwords for 50mm... tune distance and speed G4 S8 ; <<---- INCREASE VALUE (S = Seconds) TIME IF IT DOESN'T UNLOAD FROM THE Y ADAPTER
G0 X-3 Y-3 ; back off the button
