Hueforge on MMU3 -- more than 5 filaments
Hi all,
I have a bit of a conundrum-- I am using the Hueforge software to create 3d prints of photos and artwork, which works by changing the filament at certain layers, 'blending' colors together depending on relative opacity. It's pretty nifty.
However, I find myself needing more than 5 colors frequently, and I don't see a good way to set up the MMU to enable this. I know only 5 filaments can be loaded at a time.
What I'm curious about (and my search skills have failed so far) is whether there are g-code commands to unload a filament from the MMU after it finishes printing with that filament. For example, let's say I have a print that needs 9 filaments, and the filaments are not reused (only are used sequentially)
Load Filaments 1-5 in MMU
Layers 1-10: Filament 1
Layers 11-13: F2
L14-22: F3
L23-25: F4
L26-40: F5
L41-45: F6 (in place of F1)
L46-50: F7 (in place of F2)
L51-55: F8 (in place of F3)
L56-65: F9 (in place of F4)
Assigning the higher layers to filament 1-4 again is easy in Prusa slicer, but where my confusion comes in is how to eject the filament from the MMU after each filament finishes. Or, to wait until Filament 5 has finished and then eject and load all 5 new filaments at once.
Is there a way to do this, either in g-code or from the printer menu live? I haven't had success finding anything like this yet.
