load_filament hotend position

[jonneybarvo]

Hi jschuh, can the load_filament position be changed in the start_print? I would like the hotend to move front and centre for easy filament loading.......

Right now it just uses the configured parking position. I'd rather not add another config value just for a load/unload parking position, but I could update the load/unload macros to accept XY parking coordinates, which you could just override to your preferred default.

That sounds great 👍

I forgot that LOAD_FILAMENT and UNLOAD_FILAMENT don't actually change the extruder position, and I really don't think they should. You can just wrap it with something like this if you want:

[gcode_macro LOAD_FILAMENT]
rename_existing: LOAD_FILAMENT_BASE
gcode:
  PARK LAZY=1 X=<add your X or remove for default> Y=<add your Y or remove for default>
  LOAD_FILAMENT_BASE {rawparams}

Thanks for the advice - will give that a go - I am only starting to get my head around macros. Cheers
