K1 Tip shaping help

Using the stock profile supplied, I have it working of sorts.

Looks like it is working great for the first 4 or 5 colour changes until the tip starts getting stuck trying to enter the PTFE tube from the K1 extruder. You can see the filament is slightly swollen on the tip. You cant even pull it out manually, until the tip is cut off. What adjustments do you think I need in the tip shaping code to prevent this? What would happen If I cut out tip shaping altogether, and rapidly pull the filament out hot?


Alternatively, I see Bill has designed an auto clippy specifically for the K1 but I can't find it anywhere. Any idea where I can find this?


Many thanks


Steve

If you decide to scrap it let me know, I may be interested in buying it off you to get even more color options. I personally enjoy tinkering, and knew at the price I wasn't getting something on the level of the Bamboo multi-color and would have to tinker with it. I get how it's not for everyone, but the potential is there and while mine isn't working yet the way I want, I'm close and am excited about ti.
