Filament cutter and post processor #45

First off great work on happy hare and the new klipper screen. Happy hare has been great at tuning my system but have been unable to get reliable swaps on silk filaments. Probably due to them swelling. Looking into some sort of cutter like on my bambu labs x1 I came across SMuFF. I have since added a servo operated cutter on to my tool head for perfect swaps every time. Down side is the large amount of purge needed. SMuFF solves this with a post processor. Anyways I am just bringing this to your attention incase you hadn't see it before and maybe in the future happy hare might offer similar features.

Sorry, I must have missed this "issue" previously. There is a good design for Clockwork2 extruder (Filamix sp??). Also I have been working on a Happy Hare v2 rework that opens up load/unload sequences so it will be easy to add customization steps.

I think this will be made possible in the upcoming Happy Hare v2 release - this adds explicitly gcode macro call outs both pre-unload and post-load steps. It also allows for complete user control of load or unload sequences.

I'll leave this issue open but I don't intend to change this version of Happy Hare (because of its replacement).
