Having issues where all 4 lanes will overshoot the filament when unloading during tool changes, causing a spaghetti mess around the spools. I've verified I did order 6v 500rpm motors. I've also dialed down the movement speeds in the config file thinking the extruders are just moving too fast for the respooler, but the issue still occurs.
#Extruders overshooting respoolers on tool changes

Is this a new build? If so it’s possible the spools are still slipping on the tires as they haven’t gotten much for grip in them yet
It is new, yes. Still tuning everything. I'll watch the spools in the next change and see if they're slipping
Maybe make a video to see what's failing
Another cause could be that the gears/DC motor/something in the respoolers makes them not running smoothly
I think it is caused when the hub cutter is used so after pulling the filament after the cut the spool does not wind up there is no movement. I have a problem with that too.
This looks dramatic
You could temporarily fix this by adding a respoolers command in the cutting macro I guess, but you can't really.
The cutting macro is not ideal. Another thing after servo cutting would need a slight delay sometimes the cut slows down so that the extruder starts to return the filament before it is finished and the reverse is not done and plugs the HUB.
That is 100% your cut macro doing that
I think the backwinding only works on the path from the filament sensor in the toolhead and the hub sensor. That is my assumption.
Long move during change, yes
There was a little slippage, but not a lot to cause how much it overshot. I have also noticed that my Lane 2 will actually run the filament out of the extruder when unloading for a tool change. I did remove the hub cutter and switch over to the toolhead cutter, and not running the hub cut macro did seem to help a bit. Still not sure if the issue is just slippage, or something else.
@civic hollow is this what it is doing?
