Support

Unfortunatley this 3D Chameleon installation has been a lot of struggling installing it on my SV06.

First my tool 1 and 2 didnt pull the filament. It was solved by printing the A+ parts.

Secondly I didn't have a good Prusa slicer profile since I prefer Orca. But since Orca is based on Bambu studio which has great support for multi material, it wasn't to hard to adapt the gcode to Orca.

But I still can't get it to load correctly. It pushed the filament into the extruder but it seems to not be able to pass into the extruder gears.

Might be the cut filament that blocks the gears?

Do I need more tension on the 3DC extruder to really force down the old filament?

Maybe I should try without the 3DClippy and just back out the filament?

Here is the start of the Gcode:

;                NOTE: This defaults should work, but you can always tune them to be perfect.
