“Simply retract 20mm to 30mm of filament just before cutting.”
Hello, It seems that it should be fairly easy to reduce the amount of filament lost through purging by 50% to 75%. Just retract 20mm to 30mm of filament just before cutting.
Thank-you in advance.
There’s about 42 mm of filament in the head, about half in the hot side and half in the cold side. It should be possible to remove at least 20 mm of cold filament without deformation. And perhaps a little more, depending on the filament’s heat behavior. If part of the hot filament is only slightly stretched, it can be retracted too. This depends on the filament and the temperature, but should be no problem for at least the cold 2 cm.
