But now that I look at it, the gcode generator doesnt work for core XY printers yet ? You can only put the switch on one axys. right? Wow look at me go !! I understand stuff now ;) LOL

Ok, I think I figured it out by looking at Alan's Tool Change profile. I was entering my exact switch X & Y coordonates instead of sending the toolhead just in front of it during the tip shaping... That's why it was pulsing for ever... :/ I stopped counting at 90 ;) My bad :) I guess that going though your gcode generator on the web site would have automagically done the trick. But now I'm able to understand a bit better what all this gcode mombo jumbo means ;) Thanks Still haven't succeded yet, but i'll give it another go tomorrow :)

Oh wow. Thanks will cancel a print to give it a try right now. :)

Well, it didn't go as well as I was hoping. I think my bug is in the TOOL CHANGE GCODE.... But here's my workflow on my Rooted K1 Max. I'm trying to print the 3DChameleon Keychain cause its something like 50 color swaps and the slicer tells me that it should take an hour or so a good candidate for a first test :) I send the print directly from within Orcaslicer 2.0.0- Beta Extruder is NOT loaded when I send the file. So after the adaptative bedmesh, the hotend goes on the button and after the initial homing of the Chameleon. T0 is loaded succesfully in the extruder with minimal grinding from both, the Chameleon and the extruder. Start to print just fine, but it does a bit of the first color for the 1st layer, then moves to the purge block, finishes with T0. and after that... Goes to hold the button for WAY to long witch result in something like 50 pulses on the chameleon, while its doing what I believe to be the tip shaping, but never manage to back T0 out of the extruder. So I stop it there after confirming that its still printing with T0... My resoning is that my switch coordonates and my timing to the extruder are good since it manages to load T0 with the Start gcode. I've spent a while figuring out the timing to load the extruder. But maybe its my UNLOAD time that's mesed up or something in the Orcaslicer toolchange gcode that's funky. I don't know. what should I be cheking next ? Thanks for your help Jo

Just mesure it and I get 50mm, just like Bill's latest Orca Profiles. Thank you. Maybe today is the first day of my Color3D days :) Thanks Jo

Oh wow. Looks like I got here just in time for the fun part :) Exactly what I was looking for :) I love Orca ;) And at first look, your Switch coordonates are exactly the same as on my setup. I'll ask it here too, When it says : <<<--- adjust this E value to tune extruder loading. what should I be looking for ? Time? MM from extruder gears to Nozzle ? I'm confused :) Thanks

Purchased the Chameleon last month with the idea to hook it to one of my V400. But got to intimitated from the virtual switch needed... So Just got a K1 Max instead :) Just hooked up to the Chameleon following your guide. Thanks :) I Still haven't printed with it yet. But my switch coordonates are in the Gcodes in prusaslicer ( will move to Orca when all is good in Prusa) and my load time from the Y to the extruder is 25 sec. I'm confused with the P and E in your guide. Since it takes 25 sec from Y to Extruder in my case, I guess my P would be 25000 ? and what about the E ? Thanks Jo

Hey all, I've just recived my Chameleon so I'll try to post my progress of implementing it on my V400. I probably will have some question... Thanks. :)

Hey Bill, Alright, I think the V400 as at least 1 spare I/O because I've seen some builds with LED setup that tap in the printer somewhere. Do you know of anyone who's done it on the V400? I'm really good at following instruction, but don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to custom G-code stuff an all ;) Thanks Jo.
