Increasing hotend temp prior to unloading extruder filament
G'day,
I wanted to check here before trying some custom G-code.
Problem: With my MMU2S, when unloading filament from the extruder the filament needs to be 5C-10C higher than the print temp.
Does this solution make sense? In Filament tab go to Custom G-Code and in End G-Code add in a temp setting? Example "M109 S225;"
I hadn't seen anything else online covering this or examples. I have been going into the sliced model and changing the last layer with custom g-code, but I would like a simpler method.
Thanks for any help!

RE: Increasing hotend temp prior to unloading extruder filament
Update: It worked as expected. I'm doing this with an MMU that has different brands of PETG and each has a different temp to form a tip during cooling moves.
RE: Increasing hotend temp prior to unloading extruder filament
If it helps I had the same problem and ended up using this:
M104 S{temperature[current_extruder]+10}
With this I can use the filament in any of the MMU paths and if I need to change the main temperature it will still add 10deg at the end for unloading 👍
