IDEX2_Palette4 - 5 Colour or 2 Material 3+ colour printing on IDEX printer with Palette2 #2

The main initial motivation of me using P2PP was as a way of incorporating IDEX printing into the Palette2.

First solution was a pre and post processing script, driven by some specific directives in the Start and Tool change G Code.

Specific branch to be created to show these scripts and some initial results.

Working pretty well with scripts - Tom is considering whether to add the functionality directly into P2PP. Next step is to try out some more tests - particularly with different materials. As part of other stream managed to accidentaly splice some PLA into PETG, and split broke very quickly, so can definitely see the benefits of keeping consistent materials within the palette, and handling multi material by IDEX or Tool Changer.
