Doesn't load filament beyond MMU
I removed the orange PTFE tube between the MMU and the Extruder so I can see what's going on.
With only a single filament in the MMU and the selector in the leftmost position I press the middle button. The MMU grabs hold of the filament and pulls it in a couple centimeters. The MMU advances the filament until the FINDA detects that it's in the selector. I see an LED deep in the FINDA blink, and then it backs out.
I've also tried the Load Filament 1 menu item and the same thing happens.
What do I do to get it to load all the way, that is, to load enough filament to go beyond the FINDA and get to the extruder?
Re: Doesn't load filament beyond MMU
Load filament will simply load into the correct position in the MMU; feeds until FINDA triggers and retracts into idler body.
When printing, a tool change command (Tn) will load the required filament into the extruder.
