This took way too long to work out haha
Ok. I'm merging this now with some related but similar logic for toochange retraction
One thing I want to do is not change the semantic meaning of 'retract_length'. The reason is doc and confusion on the intent of this setting relative to the blade pos. I.e. the user sets to 0 to blade_pos
.
Then instead, calculate:
{% set effective_retract_length = retract_length - toolhead_ooze_reduction - toolchange_retract %}
And use this distance for the retract (ignore the toolchange_retract for the moment)
So the logic is that say, blade pos is 40mm. The user wants 5mm filament left, they would set retract_length to 35mm.
If we know that HH has retracted 2mm (this is the new stuff I've been working on) and that 10mm of filament is left behind in the nozzle, then the effective retraction length would be 40 - 10 - 2 = 28mm
In theory this would leave the desired 5mm stub of filament behind.
One reason for this is that your change greatly complicates upgrade. Install.sh reads all old parameters and variables and restores them. If we change the meaning or name I need to write upgrade logic in the installer and update all docs.
WDYT?
Some user education would be needed because I know some people have a working system with the wrong settings..
Great points on how it would complicate the install.sh script, I think what you propose here is a great idea.
After much trial and error the
toolhead_ooze_reduction
value has been successfully incorporated into the_MMU_FORM_TIP
and_MMU_CUT_TIP
macros. This prevents the hot tip of the filament from being pulled too far into the extruder, thus preventing clogs
