Layer change g-code: add code to retract further?

Is it possible to add some code to the layer change g-code script which can retract more filament from an extruder that will sit idle for a bit?

Yes, you can just add an extruder jog move for the layer change script. It will run once per layer.

Re: Layer change g-code: add code to retract further?

Submitted an email to Clayton as there seems to be an issue. Gcode shows a tool change for every layer, even if a tool change isn't needed for that specific layer. So, any code I put in the toolchange script will execute, even if it doesn't have to.

They are looking into it as far as I know.
