Hiya team,

I was wondering if a customisable filament loading function could be added.

A one click loading for each extruded each with a custom profile where extruded size, filament size, temp, length and feed rate could be set.

So once set up. Every time you click load it uses that profile until you change it.

Reason is that most printers are fixed with load with 0.4 size nozzle which doesn't work well with 0.2 nozzle.

Stops panic of filament shredding and help with waste too by setting minimal length

You could set up a Macro in the Tools-->Firmware Configuration if you're familiar with G-Code.

M104 S200 T0 ; heat extruder to 200
M109 S200 T0 ; wait until extruder is 200
G92 E0 ; reset extrusions
G1 E35 F200 ; extrude 35 mm of filament
G92 E0 ; reset extrusion
