Cancel Print with out Disassembling
It seems that every time I need to cancel a print, I have to disassemble the extruder connection and MMU to get the filament out. Is there a way to cancel a print and have the printer pull the filament back to the MMU start position?

2 ways:
1. use Octoprint with the relevant "Cancel" G-code
2. before cancelling, pull back the next filament to load, wait for the failed load and reset the printer.

Thanks for the Reply.. Will give it a try.
It would be really nice if there was a CANCEL print option on the printer that would stop the print, retract filament, and stop.
Guess it does not exist.

do you have a link for option 1?

You could try setting this as Octoprint Cancel Print G-code:
G1 E-1 F7200
G91
G1 Z5 F1200
G90
M220 S100 ; Set override speed to 100%
G1 X0 Y200 F2400
G1 E5 F150
G1 E-15 F5600 ; Initial retract to get filament out without stringing
G1 E-10 F1000 ; retract filament in PTFE tube ( stages)
G1 E-10 F240
G1 E-10 F100
G1 E-10 F40
G1 E-10 F2000
G1 E-30 F2000 ; Remove filament to above drive pulley
M702 C ; Unload filament
G4 S1 ; pause 1 second
M107 ; turn off fan
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
M84 ; disable motors

I can't speak to printing from Octoprint, but if you print from SD there is a menu option on the printer for "Cancel Print." Using this option will fully unload the filament.
If you have a failure where the print head cools before you can unload the filament, the current MK3 firmware has a menu option to unload filament. You need to preheat first, but it does work.
