# Tool change macros
# variable 'standalone' selects slicer based tip creation ro tip formation
# created by the _ERCF_FORM_TIP_STANDALONE macro below. Whilst the two
# are similar in theory, using macro based is easier to setup and maintain.
# It also allows for logic to leverage a purging system and turn off the
# slicer wipe tower.
# 0 = Slicer forms tips
# 1 = Macro forms tips (or hybrid e.g. SS ramming and macro tip forming)
