Hello I recently received my MK4
I have watch tons of videos and many explanations but I believe I have no idea what I am doing
I printed the mounts placed it correctly as bill did in his K1
initially I tried OrcaSlicer since I was using that and I had all my filament profiles and had no success at all
then I went to Prusaslicer and I am trying to figure out what how to make the custom Gcode for start print and other stuff I only have the tool change gcode from the Gcode generator on the website and I copied the starting gcode from another K1 profile which doesnt have 3DC
kindly if anyone can share their MK4 profile for k1/k1c/k1max for either prusaslicer or orca I just want to know why is it not working for me
this is the toolchange gcode I am using

If you've followed the directions from the Printables page, then you can simply download the PrusaSlicer profile from there. It's already configured for that set up.
