Homing position
I am wondering how the unit knows where the correct homing position is?
Mine seems to feed filament somewhat differently from the two sides, like the contact between the filament and drive gear is off. I'm wondering how it knows the proper position for home, my guess is that it stalls on the home position and then does a small offset. I have been testing without the Y adapter to get the filament to feed and retract. What I have noticed is the retraction will not pull the same amount as the feed, so when I test with the Y it jams since the path is blocked.

Bill,
Thanks for the information. This would be good to make clear in the documentation.
I'm guessing that many people like me will test the system to verify it working correctly. I tried loading all of the filaments a number of times and they keep jamming in the Y, since they will "overexstrude" but understand now.
