I'm looking at the code generated by the MK4 Code Generator Where it says;<<< Start Of Tip Shaping- Remove If No Cutter! >>> Am I to remove the top shaping code since I don't have a 3DClippy, or just remove the part about the cutter code?

In Getting Started
I'm having a problem getting started with my 3D Chameleon MK4. After installing the hardware, generating the g-code, and installing the filament about 1" from the Y connector my prints start with the 3D Chameleon backing out my T0 filament, so that when it issues the load command it doesn't go into the extruder. I'm on an Ender 3 Neo (V1) and running Klipper. My Switch is on the end of the Y-Axis Y220. Tool Change Code: (I commented out the 302 commands) ; Auto generated 3D Chameleon Mk4 Tool Change GCode for PrusaSlicer ; - 3D Chameleon Mk4 Tool T{next_extruder} - ;begin switch from extruder {previous_extruder} to extruder #{next_extruder} M117 Unloading Tool T[previous_extruder] M83 ; turn relative distances for the extruder ; unload extruder {previous_extruder} G92 E0 ; go to holding position to unload the stock extruder G0 Y217 F2000 ; <<----- EDIT THIS LINE TO SET THE INITIAL LOCATION OF THE BUTTON ; if this is the first load, then don't unload G91 ; move to relative mode M83 ; load extruder #{next_extruder} M117 Loading Tool T{next_extruder} {if previous_extruder>-1} ; back out the filament for cutting G0 E-20 F500 ; retract a bit, adjust this to tune waste ; <<<< insert mechanical cutter code here! >>>> ;<<< Start Of Tip Shaping- Remove If No Cutter! >>> M109 R180; cool down to prevent swelling ;M302 S0 ; enable cold extrusion M106 S255 G0 E20 F1500 ; G0 E-5 F500 ; M109 R165; cool down to prevent swelling G0 E5 F1500 ; G0 E-1 F500 ; M109 R155; cool down to prevent swelling G0 E1 F1500 ; G0 E-25 F500 ; M109 R150; cool down to prevent swelling G0 E24 F1500 ; last tip dip with cold tip G0 E-24 ; last tip dip with cold tip M109 R180; ok... go back up in temp so we can move the extruder G0 E-80 F500 ; back out of the extruder G92 E0 M104 S[temperature]; ;<<< End Of Tip Shaping >>> ; we skipped to here if it was extruder -1 {endif} {if previous_extruder>-1} ; retract it back out of the extruder G92 E0 G0 E-100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E-100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E-100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E-100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E-40 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E-30 F2000 ; <<<---- if mechanical cutter, change to a positive value of at least 5mm G92 E0 ; ok - out of extruder - press button to remove it all the way G91 ; move to relative mode M82 ; we skipped to here if it was extruder -1 {endif} ; press the button to select the new extruder G0 Y3 F2000 {if next_extruder==0} G4 P500 ; dwell for .5 seconds - adjust this to match your machines single pulse time {endif} {if next_extruder==1} G4 P1000 ; dwell for 1.0 seconds - adjust this to match your machines two pulse time {endif} {if next_extruder==2} G4 P1500 ; dwell for 1.5 seconds - adjust this to match your machines three pulse time {endif} {if next_extruder==3} G4 P2000 ; dwell for 2.0 seconds - adjust this to match your machines four pulse time {endif} G0 Y-3 G4 P2000 ; wait for cutter to work ; ok command selected - back out filament if needed after cut {if previous_extruder>-1} G0 Y3 F2000 ; G4 P4500 ; G0 Y-3; G4 P400 {endif} G0 Y3 F2000 ; G4 P4500 ; G0 E25 F1500; <<<--- adjust this E value to tune extruder loading G0 Y-3; G4 P400 G92 E0 G90 ; move back to absolute mode M83 ; but make sure the extruder stays in relative ; reload filament all the way into extruder G92 E0 G0 E100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E100 F2000 G92 E0 G0 E15 F2000 ; <<<<<----------- EDIT THIS DISTANCE TO FINE TUNE THE FILAMENT LOADING TO STOP BLOBBING OR UNDEREXTRUSION G92 E0 M83 ; turn relative distances for the extruder ;M302 S180 ; prevent cold extrusion M117 3D Chameleon Tool T{next_extruder}
