Ender 3 S1 Setup

Anyone with experience and working configuration on the Ender 3 S1? Trying to get the unload settings configured and the loading to avoid a giant blob of filament at the switch position.


I've already done a bit of tweaking and ended up with this


; cool (and size) in 1.8mm tube
G0 E-36 F4000 ; quickly retract the filament to shape it
G0 E-10 F600; slowly allow it to cool
G0 E1 F2000 ; blob elimination
; back to tip size
G0 E-36 F4000 ; quickly retract the filament to shape it
G0 E-10 F600; slowly allow it to cool
G0 E1 F4000 ; blob elimination
G0 E-10 F4000 ; quickly retract the filament to shape it
G0 E1 F4000 ; quickly ram the filament to shape it
G0 E-10 F4000 ; quickly retract the filament to shape it
G0 E1 F4000 ; quickly ram the filament to shape it
; back to 1.8 constriction
G0 E-36 F4000 ; quickly retract the filament to shape it
G0 E-10 F100; slowly allow it to cool
; turn the fan off
M107 ; this printer has the fan in the way, so turn it off
; retract it back out of the extruder

And then a load distance of 40mm (tuned down from the 53 I started with), but going to try turning this down even more to see if it helps with the big blob.

Here's my current gcode, I also lowered my printing temp to 190 which helped a lot. This is for an mk2, so probably some adjustments needed for yours.
