      You are in live drive, I looked at your Tipsmoothing.g
      10s break anyway, it's just for testing, or is it really necessary?

      On my side, it is not too much a problem of diameter of ptfe, I ordered, but of hair, which does not see itself and accumulates until stuffing. I should test your method.

      I put transparent tube, and it is obvious.
      The worst thing is that it's not regular, it happens from time to time. 15-20 tool change without worries, and boom!
      That's why, I put a cutter.

      I have the impression, that reliability will be a very hard thing to obtain.

      I think I'll test the standard version, what change do you think you'll make? Your files are coming soon?

        look at the link above the info is there, but the files ill add are only for filament changes that affect T4 so 90% of printing is unaffected. if you getting strings you need to tune your ramming settings correctly. this you need to do on your slicer to suit your machine

        probably not its just a value that definitely works, i was finding that if i retracted too quickly through the extruder it was mashing my tips and causing jams

          adding a cutter to the macros wouldnt be hard youd just need to add a fast selector move across the mmu that chops the tip off if thats what you want but again it'll just build up under the selector anyway. better off just tuning the ramming right

            Quality of the tips also depends on the time the filament spents in the nozzle (without extruding). Especially with PLA. I have a simple settings which work great, unless the PLA is sitting in the nozzle for 2 or 3 minutes (in this case, I get oozing).

            The solution is to pre-retract the filament at the end of a print.

              Where do you buy 1.8mmx3mm ptfe tubing from ?
              I can't find a source for that. A german shop would be nice but shipping to Germany is good enough

                    @dc42 regarding triggers, are they meant to go off with immediate effect?

                    in my document above for loading the MMU2 they work and function as intended but it seems they are delayed until the tool change has completed. is this expected behaviour? id prefer being able to set it off immediately

                      The movement system is locked during a tool change, therefore if the trigger macro has any movement commands or other commands that affect motion, those commands will wait until the tool change is complete.

                        The triggers in question are like this

                        M400
                        M291 "message and wait till ok is pressed"

                        Should I just remove the m400?

                          You're saying that you have the same problem as me, (my post "M581 M582 M291, What am I doing wrong?") To know that the dialog comes at the end of the tool change.
                          Too late, because the script continued to execute, after the error, which should have been blocking.

                            I'm going to try removing the V1 from the M291 as well as the M400 too. But I can't test this until tomorrow

                              M400 means wait until all queued motion has completed. So if you send it when a tool change is on progress, it will wait until it has completed.

                                I'm hoping that if I remove the m400 and only have a M291 message within the trigger macro that it will pause the tool change if the condition is met.
                                I'll test shortly when I get a chance

                                  ok so i removed all the movement commands and M400 from the trigger but to no avail. is it possible allow the triggers in the future to interrupt the tool change and pause when conditions arent met? and then resumed when prompted? that would make this MMU2 work perfectly then

                                    The MMU is interesting, but using Duet components are you not able to use purge blocks and such?

                                      Purge blocks and the like are generated by the slicer or post processing scripts

                                        Ah. Thanks.
                                        Would be great for TPU printing as supports with TPU are useless- just use pla.

                                          Hmm...

                                          I didn´t understand as I have to.
                                          Can somebody tell me where I have to plug in the Pinda probe. For now I putted him to E0 Endstop, but I can´t home the selector (drive U).

                                          In the description I have to plug him to V but

                                          Here some details of config.g

                                          ; Endstops
                                          M574 X1 Y1 S1 ; Set active high endstops
                                          M574 U1 V1 W1 S3 ; Set additional axes as sensorless endstops
                                          M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe

                                          ;Drives
                                          M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 4 goes backwards V
                                          M569 P5 S1 ; Drive 5 goes forwards U
                                          M569 P6 S0 ; Drive 6 goes backwards W
                                          M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 V4 U7 W6 ; Apply custom drive mapping

                                            the pinda is used as the V axis endstop in certain situations during loading so it must be plugged into that axis endstop input. U axis uses sensorless homing
