retraction after inserting material on feeder 2 (UM3)

· retraction after inserting material on feeder 2 (UM3)
Hi
Do you wait when you put the filament into the feeder until the filament appears in the Bowden tube until you press the button to move it faster? If you press the button too early the filament will only be transported a few cm before the head and then switches to slowly extrude. It is not a problem if it happens, you can just wait or you can pull on the feeder lever and push the filament manually a little bit.
When the extruded filament is thinner than usual it is a sign that the printcore is not clean and needs some hot/cold pulls.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
