Pause on extruder switch

[Super_paulie 12]

quick question guys, i am wanting to pause the S5 when the head goes over to the side to change from one nozzle to the other. My reasoning being that the bottom face is to have text on in a different colour to the surroundings and the first nozzle is leaving slight debris in the void and then the new colour shows that debris as it prints over the top of it. I want to pause the printer, clear the stringers and debris and then let it continue on with the next nozzle colour. I hope that make sense.

 

So basically a pause and bed lowering on extruder switch.

 

Can anyone help me out with a script or gcode for this?

 

thanks guys.

I'd print with an ooze shield. That generally helps with accidental leaking of one nozzle.

its not that its oozing when switching, but leaving fine strings over the void as its putting down the first colour.

That is stringing, right? I'm perhaps a bit confused as to what you mean.
