K factors - Multiple Materials
I suppose I'm technically asking for my Chimera+ based printer, but I imagine the same holds for the MMU (which isn't working well enough for fine tuning yet).....:
How do you set the K-factor if you have different filaments/extruders? One set by the filament code in the header won't carry through for each change.
Is there a way to handle different compressibilities between two materials? Some slicers have filament change code, and you could add it there....

Re: K factors - Multiple Materials
If you use linear advance and have the facility for "Filament G-code" then the K values should be placed there and the instruction issued on tool change.
