End of print routine
Very new to this. MK4 assembled today and first couple of prints done. Possibly a silly question but I'm not sure what exactly I should be doing at the end of a print. So far I've been unloading the filament, which feels right. However, once the filament is unloaded, I see the hotend is still at 215 degrees and not cooling down. After a minute or so I power off the printer but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
How do I tell the printer to cool the hotend because I'm done for the time being?

Hi James,
I don't have a Mk4,
the Mk3 has a preheat menu, where you can choose the filament type and start the printer heating,
the last option on the preheat menu, is COOLDOWN,
Could you please have a look and see if the Mk4 is the same?
regards Joan

The Mk4 has the same Cooldown option.
Some people suggest to cool the hotend down to you-pick-a-number degrees. I just turn the printer off after removing the filament, which hasn't hurt any of my printers in years.
