colorprint "unload filament"
So I've been using the colorprint thingie a lot recently but sometimes the filament doesnt't unload fully when it gets the m600 command.
I'd love to see a "unload filament more" command in the menu during the swap. If it doesn't unload, I have to open the extruder and pull the filament out, which might cause the x axis to skip a couple steps, which fails a print. I'd love to just be able to back up the extruder to clear it.

The settings are in Configuration_prusa.h:
currently set to a total of 82mm which should easily be sufficient to remove the filament completely.
#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FIRSTRETRACT -2
#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FINALRETRACT -80
You can of course, increase the values yourself,compile and upload the amended firmware.
