Is there a way to get the following behavior?
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:41 pm
I'm using a Diamond hotend, which much like the E3D cyclops is a many in one out nozzle.
Assuming it's using Tool 0, the behavior I want at the point of the tool change is for it to retract Tool0, move to prime tower Prime Tool0, change to Tool1 print prime tower.
The reason is that on these hotends if you try and prime Tool1 having just retracted Tool0 it will immediately start extruding as if there were no retract, and if you don't prime the retraction back, you end up under extruding for some time period after the change. You really need to use the prime tower to do the color change, but you want to retract and prime during the move to and of course from it.
I couldn't see a way to force this behavior, but I may just be missing something.
Thanks for any suggestions.
