Cooling move after finished print

Hello,

i recently assembled my MK3S+ with the MMU2S attached.

After some problems (Wich is completely normal at the beginning 😀 ) I got all my filaments to work nicely when printing with multiple colors or with a single color. I set up the cooling parameters to get a well formed filament tip when changing colors and I successfully printed some multi color prints without errors while changing the filaments.

But there is one thing that is really annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it:

After the print is done (no matter if single or multiple color) when the printer wants to unload the filament, it gets stuck every time. And I saw that it wasn't making the right cooling move I set up, it doesn't make the right ramming sequence also. It just does the "standard cooling move", Wich isn't forming a good tip.

How can I get the printer to do my desired cooling move when unloading the filament ?

 

Thanks for your help.

RE: Cooling move after finished print

You could modify the custom gcode, end gcode. but I think you would have to spell out the changes rather than rely on the slicer configuration. 

Or, Could you add an extruder change right at the end?  ( I would try this myself, but I am 75 miles from my MMU2S) 🙁

Perhaps an 
M702 C
could be used to unload the Current Filament

Thanks for the fast reply.

I took a quick look at a test .gcode and it looks like there is already a M702 C at the end of the print.

I will take a closer look at the .gcode to see what it does exactly after finishing the print.

So i made a few test .gcodes to figure out how exactly the printer is doing the unloading sequence.

I figured out, that when you are using a wipe tower, the printer is doing the correct unloading sequence. When you are printing with a single color, the printer only does a standard unloading sequence, wich is specified here:

As you can see it does an if case to decide if there is a wipe tower or not.

Is there a setting or a gcode command to use the filament specific unloading sequence at this point ? Because if I just copy the unloading settings for my filaments and paste it there i need to change it every time i use a different filament.

Im curious because i cant imagine im the only one with such a problem 😀

Maybe someone found another solution to this problem

RE: Cooling move after finished print

there is also a Custom G code Setting in the Filament settings menu, so you could do your filament \specific changes there
