Change filament change speed

Hi,

My Mk3 printers are running geared extruders with a bowden setup, currently the filament change that is triggered by the runout sensor takes forever because I cannot find how to adjust the speed that it unloads filament at while it performs this procedure. The distances are all correct and it loads at a decent speed but I need it to unload about 10x faster. I have multiple of these machines that need a filament change about once a day and waiting 60 seconds for it to unload each time is a gigantic pain.

here are my filament change settings in the configuration_prusa.h, if anyone could let me know which value to change to increase this speed I would be very grateful.

CHANGE FILAMENT SETTINGS *------------------------------------*/

// Filament change configuration#define FILAMENTCHANGEENABLE#ifdef FILAMENTCHANGEENABLE#define FILAMENTCHANGE_XPOS 211#define FILAMENTCHANGE_YPOS 0#define FILAMENTCHANGE_ZADD 2#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FIRSTRETRACT -6#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FINALRETRACT -270

#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FIRSTFEED 200 //E distance in mm for fast filament loading sequence used used in filament change (M600)#define FILAMENTCHANGE_FINALFEED 71 //E distance in mm for slow filament loading sequence used used in filament change (M600) and filament load (M701) #define FILAMENTCHANGE_RECFEED 5

#define FILAMENTCHANGE_XYFEED 50#define FILAMENTCHANGE_EFEED_FIRST 20 // feedrate in mm/s for fast filament loading sequence used in filament change (M600)#define FILAMENTCHANGE_EFEED_FINAL 3.3f // feedrate in mm/s for slow filament loading sequence used in filament change (M600) and filament load (M701) //#define FILAMENTCHANGE_RFEED 400#define FILAMENTCHANGE_RFEED 7000 / 60#define FILAMENTCHANGE_EXFEED 2#define FILAMENTCHANGE_ZFEED 15

#endif

thanks,

Alex.
