Quick question. How did you account for the filament left in the extruder when clippy cuts and retracts? Does this get handled as part of the loading of the next filament?
Bill,I know you were hit with spamming bots again and may have lost my response on this so I'll ask my question again.
My original question was how does the GCODE handle clearing out the cut piece of filament since it is still in the extruder and the 3DC can't feed filament to the extruder for the filament change?Is this taken care of in your github "profiles" folder and I can simply open the appropriate 3MF file and use that for guidance?
When you load the new filament, it will just push out any remaining filament during your normal purge. All you need to do is load the filament into the extruder's drive gears... that's the reason we back out filament before cutting it... that gives you the space that you use to load the new filament... then in your purging, you purge enough to allow the color to transition in the purge tower.
All of our profiles already do that when they involve the cutter.
