What’s annoying is that it doesn’t HAVE to purge. I’ve experimented with changing the filament manually without pausing and the results are good.

That's interesting, the Bambu slicer actually does let you control how much, if at all, you purge during switches - I might try just setting it to 0 and seeing what I end up with..

Teaching Tech did a video on reducing it, might be some tips for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ZIM3megIU

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I'll check it out! Thanks

Let me know it works.

In that specific printer or in another one?

[–] JoShmoe@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I use the P1P.

Ok, then I'm confused. Per Teaching Tech's description, a certain amount of purge is necessary. I've no personal experience with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ZIM3megIU
