MK2.5 cold pull question

Hi gang,
I'm in the process of designing front intake MK3 extruder body and wanted to know, how do you guys cold pull? I have a custom quick-release latch on my MK2S for this purpose but MK3, seems like the only way is G-code extruder reverse as eject won't work. Can you guys tell me if a quick release is useful for MK3 as I found with MK2 or has this not been an issue.

Re: MK2.5 cold pull question

i have loosened the tension on the bondtech and just given it a pull while heating up but only once because of the ptfe tubes and the filament sensor. don't want to damage either puling through a big blob

OK, so basically it is donkey balls? I use my quick-release idler all the time on my MK2S and don't want to loose that functionality.

MK3 is crammed full of gubbins so it might not be possible but if cold-pull is annoying on MK3, I'll have to design a quick release for Bondtech system as well. Darn.
