Single nozzle loading initialization

This fix , is very EASY TO CODE , just a comment before the first extrusion of each extruder and we can make a script

SIMPLIFY3D CAN START A PRINT IN SINGLE NOZZLE MODE

I explain:
In single nozzle mode , to swap between each filament we have to unload ' 50mm approx ' the actual , and load ' 50mm approx ' the other
Simplify3d , can make the swap , but not on the FIRST BEGINNING EXTRUSION , because the software start from ' E0'

if you have an ' Y ' single nozzle extruder , you load the first filament , the print starts , all is ok , but when it's time to swap to the other filament , simplify3d unload the first , but not load the other ' ONLY FOR EACH FIRST STARTING EXTRUSION'

To fix this , we are forced to add a line of gcode just before each first extrusion , it's not very difficult be , when we are in USB mode , we have to make a gcode file , to tweak it , and to return in the software to read the file


TO FIX THIS ' very easy ' , please add it in the next release

ADD a ' comment ' , just before the starting first extrusion of each new extruder that begin to extrude and THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED
we will make a script to place a ' G11 firmware retract ' or a ' G1 E50 ' to load the filament
Please , add the comment , just before the first extrusion , because , if we load 50mm , the risk of blob exist , and the nozzle must be on the prime tower position , to avoir to blob on the printed object


In the future , you can make 2 checked boxes ' Initialisation length + initialisation speed ' , or ' Single nozzle mode ' and you will apply the swap recovery length on the first extrusion

The future of printing is single nozzle , and simplify3d not ready for this

PLEASE MAKE A FIX
