UM3 Firmware feature request: Extrude when changing print cores
I'll add it to the board, since we can actually see if the previous material was different than the current material we could do this automatically when needed.
The question then becomes should we only do this for a material type change or for a color change as well (keeping in mind that if you don't use use material identified by RFID this won't work)?
OR just add a flush material option to the print-core or material menu to allow the user to do so manually after changing cores?
I hadn't considered adding a Flush option, but now that I think about it, that would be extremely useful and possibly the best solution to the problem. I currently use Material -> Move for this, but that option really seems intended for a certain amount of precision that isn't required here; and having to crank the dial umpteen turns clockwise is a pain. Being able to say "Look, just flush this" would be useful in a variety of circumstances, actually.
