Filament Settings for Test Objects

Hi guys,
I've got the MMU2 installed. Printed some of the bundled test things without any issues. (2-color benchy / gecco / sheep). I noticed that depending on which filament spool I was using, the MMU2 did different things as far as the "tip shaping" when changing filaments.

Spool# 1 did like 4 to 5 little "in and out" moves...all pretty quick before retracting.
Spool# 2 was a long pause before retracting.
etc.
I found it kind of "odd" that the gcode would use different toolchange/ramming settings for the different spools (you think they would all be the same...some kind of "default" setting), but they all seemed to work pretty good.

Now that I'm slicing in Slic3r, I'm trying to use the default Prusament settings, and I'm getting some horrible tips/stringing/etc. Where I was able to print the entire "sample" model using the bundled g-code......I can't get one or two filament changes before things jam up (bad tips).

How can I pull up the Toolchange / Ramming settings from the bundled Prusa sample g-codes? Those work perfect for my Monoprice PLA filament.
Is there a way to open up a gcode in Slic3r?

Or....is there a repository somewhere for all the different filaments?

Fingers crossed. I spend all Thanksgiving weekend getting it set up. Was super happy. Now not so much.

Thanks!
Eric
