Extruder Position Load/Unload/Change Filament

Hi guys,

I'd like to automatically move the extruder to a fixed postition for changing filament in order to drop the extruded waste-fila into the right hand side bin. Y-Axis with sheet all the way back, x-axis to the very right. Is there any chance of setting this fix somewhere in FW?

thx,  Ralf

Not in firmware unless you fork from the GitHub sources.

But there is provision for this sort of personalisation in PrusaSlicer; PrinterSettings > Custom G-code  provides space for your additional code to be inserted at many significant stages - including before and after changes.

This becomes part of a new printer profile and will be inserted every time that profile is used.

Cheerio,

Thx @diem, suppose I better leave FW alone than. Need to get into G-code instead and try. No trouble deleting profiles if I screw it up, I guess.
