Hi, long time printer, first time dual printer

I have a 2 in 1 out hotend on a Y system.

My quest is basically: How can I stop the unloading of a filament happening on the print surface, and instead happen on the prime pillar or ooze shield.

Process is currently

print with tool 0
pause head at end of need of tool 0 <---- here is the problem
unload tool 0
move to prime pillar or ooze shield
prime/print
move back to job
print with tool 1
...repeat

You mean the tool change retraction? You really want that to happen BEFORE the move to the ooze shield, otherwise it will just ooze all over the part during the move.

You can try setting the tool change retraction to 0mm if you don't want it to retract at all before making the move

I've posted this problem in several locations and this is the first useful piece of info I've gotten....

I have no idea on how to write the script for it. Is there any info on how?

The tool change retraction distance setting is on the Other tab. Just set it to 0mm, and might as well set the tool change extra restart to 0mm as well. That should disable those tool change retractions.

I still need to perform the tool change (55mm) for each tool. I just dont want it happening ON the job. I want it to happen over the prime pillar.
