3d Chameleon SV06+ and Clippy & mode 2

The profile I posted is the exact profile I use on my Sovol SV-06... there is no difference... so something else has changed. But, if you need a distance other than the stock 10" distance... and in your case, if you're saying it won't reach the extruder, then the only options are:

1. You can repeat the pulse sequence... it always unload 10" but loads 11"... so it will advance it 1 more inch.

2. Switch to Mode 3, where it allows you to define the distance.

But the profile you have is the profile I use on mine, so I don't know why it's not loading... unless there is a geometry difference I'm not seeing in your setup.

To convert to Mode 3, all you need to do is add the second and third button presses after the selector button press. Here's a block of sample code from our GCode Generator that does that:

; this block unloads the filament for 15" by pressing for 15 seconds {if previous_extruder>-1}

G0 X3 F2000 ; move to button

G4 S15 ; 15 second delay

G0 X-3; move off button

G4 P400

{endif}

; this block loads the filament for 16 (15+1) inches

G0 X3 F2000 ; move to button

G4 S15 ; 15 second delay

G0 E50 F1500; <<<--- adjust this E value to tune extruder loading, 25mm/second

G0 X-3; move off button

G4 P400

In your case, the 15 seconds would be replaced with about 10 seconds for the first one... and the second block would be for 10 seconds plus the E50, so it's 2 seconds of motion instead of 1 seconds. The system moves at 1" (25mm) per second.

Thanks for the above will take a look.

I did try printing the non-clippy part and everything seems to be working as intended it only seems to come into play when the clippy piece is on to create that extra gap causing it to come just short of feeding the filament to the printers extruder.

Is there anything else I can check/try as I would really like it to function in mode 2 as u have it working on your unit with the clippy.

It's not possible to use 3DClippy AND Mode 2 on that machine... the distance is just too far. The Mode 2 ONLY moves a certain distance and it can't be altered... but the 3DClippy AND the Y adapter together on that machine exceed that 10" length. Just follow the guide I posted above and it will add the 2nd and 3rd button press to unload and then reload the new filament. That is the only difference between the two modes... one moves exactly 10 inches... the other moves for however long you're pressing the button. If you copy that block into the gcode right below the button press logic, it will go ahead and press it a second and third time... that's the only thing that is needed to go to Mode 3. Bill

The exact same thing the blade was completely removed after performing the cut as i still dont have a viable spring for it. There does not seem to be resistance on any feeding or retracting all seems smooth. It also goes to the same distance each and every time on loading and retracting. If there was path resistance I would think I would see some variation on attempts I could be wrong.

Can you post a picture of your set up? Also, how far is it moving? Do you have it in Mode 3 or Mode 2? Also, what does your tool change gcode look like? And when you say you don't have a viable spring for it, what do you mean? The spring can be something as simple as a rubber band. I've also used simple springs from Harbor Freight, but the rubber band works perfectly.
