My printer will be idle and randomly decide that it has been asked to unload. I don't push anything, and I'll try starting a new print some time later only to realize the printer had spit out my filament enough that it'll fail the priming steps, but not enough to set off the filament runout so it'll still start a print.

I've never really cared for the macro, so I was considering just removing both the load and unload macros. They're all optional anyway so I think that'll be my course of action.

Yeah. My Anthead is rocking an oribiter 2.0 with the sensor above the drive gears.

#

Can an orbiter be scavanged to make a WWG2?

I'm not actually sure.

I think the drive gear is different, because of the different idler
