Change filament fucntion

Hiya,

I would like to see a change filament fucnction on the machine control panel.

I tried to do this but when I pressed resume it spat it out resetting to the pre pause state.

allowing a user to change to a new spool when the one in use is or has run out.

I try and use the short bits and have to add it manually during print on my UM2+

but if I could pause the print and be able to add it under a Chang/add filament function that would be great.

Becky

You might want to change to relative extrusion distances if you are going to be swapping and jogging the filament around a lot. That will probably work better for this

Hiya,

not sure what you mean by 'relative extrusion distances' I have no problem with any aspect of the extrusion. what happens is that any movement i do whilst I have paused the print is reversed on resume.

It's a setting on the G-Code tab
