Color Change Issue

When making a color change, everything with the change works great but just before the extruder moves it spits out a small amount of filament. This is all setup automatically by PrusaSlicer using the Layer slider. How can I stop this from happening.

RE: Color Change Issue

This "feature" is part of the firmware and can not be controlled by g-code. Some sees this as a plus avoiding holes in perimeter (PLA). Other sees this as a problem as the extra extrude can be dragged around and make more damage than good (PETG).

The extra extrude has been discussed on the forum and reported as an issue several times:

[BUG] Extra extrusion after filament change #2502

Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉
