Thank you so much for this video!! I have been working on this for hours. I don't know what I had configured incorrectly. It would extrude about 50 mm or maybe less. Then it would pause like forever. I would have to turn off the printer and do it again for a few more MM of extrusion. Then another pause... I made my settings match yours and now it's actually working. Thanks again!!
Nice explanation video. I would also recommend enabling HOST_ACTION_COMMANDS to allow the filament change/filament runout (when enabled later)/pause features to be able to communicate and be controlled by/within OctoPrint as well.
Thank you! This is one of the features that I miss having from the stock Creality firmware. I realize now that I should have changed the settings when I installed the direct drive kit.
Thank you for the great video. Your videos are incredibly easy to follow. I just finished installing this update on my AnetA8. At first, when using 'sanguino1284p' as displayed in your video, there wasn't enough memory to upload. However, there's a 'sanguino1284p_optimized' option available (not shown in your video). Using this one was successful.
I know this is an old video, but how well does this work with a two in, one out hotend? This seems like you actually have to be there to watch the print. Sometimes you can't do that....
Hi Daniel. I have followed your instructions regarding m600 command for my anet a8+. But I don't get the change filament options. I do get change filament listed on the menu, but no actual comnands
this is what i want exactly, thank you for the video, when using "unload filament" only, hotend will stay hot until I choose CoolDown. if I forgot is there a way to make it after some time to cooldown ?
Thanks for the video. Quick question, how do you make the printer do a x-axis homing after a filament load (before the print resumes). My direct extruder attached to the hotend is a little stiff and when you load it, it is easy to knock it out of X position. I need to get the printer to rehome the X after loading the filament or it will have a layer shift in the print.
Why would an x-Home get you back to the same print position? Every homing can generate slightly different zero-Position offsets, so it’s not guaranteed that it will resume to the exact same position. And I don’t know if homing overwrites the previously saved position where the print was paused. Anyways you would have to modify the internal behavior of the M600 command in Marlin. As far as I know, you can only define positions where to park in NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE and ADVANCED_PAUSE but no custom Gcodes so you would have to take a look at the implementation and add an x homing command in there.
I followed your command changes but am getting a SUPER-FAST load speed! So fast it won't even catch the filament to feed into the nozzle. I have an A10M running Marlin 2.0.9.3. Any suggestions? Thanks very much. Nice video.🤨
Hello. In changing filament, there are 4 more options starting with FILAMENT_UNLOAD_PURGE_RETRACT. It is not explained in the video. Can you supplement the description and suggestions for changing these parameters please?
Thank you! I have a problem, can you help me? The noozle goes back to the last print-position NOW it will be confused..... The noozle start the printing, Exactly at the Beginn - Suddenly the extruder RETRACT some Filament and than it feed normaly and the noozle move.... Now it works normlay. But the first 30 seconds, i don't get any Filament, cause the extruder retracted a little Distance of the filament, before start noozle move-printing.
I tried this on my Ender 3 v2 (latest Marlin 2.0.x bugfix version). Do see anywhere in the menus filament loading/unloading. Has anyone else tried this?
i got it working, but it only shows me "change filament?" yes or no options when in the printer menu. Am I missing something that would let me set custom/preset filament temps as shown at 5:00
Sure, if you build your own Marlin firmware, but you need a configuration to start with so it supports the 32 bit mainboard. Look inside the Marlin Configuration repo for the base configuration file for that board and then start to modifiy it for the Filament change command.
I guess the filament sensor is triggered. Might be that it is configured reversed so it reports empty when full and full when empty? Check with the M119 command
Ender 3 V2: since it doesn't have "Change Filament" LCD option, these settings don't exactly work well. There won't be any "Change/Load/Unload Filament" options in the LCD cuz it is not programmable. Also, the config file Load/Unload Feed Rates and pause prompts, act weird. I would suggest not changing Load/Unload Feed and purge options, and do it manually, and once ready, click to resume print. Here's the order in which Ender 3 V2 executes the settings, noted in this video: 1. Nozzle Park (unload doesn't happen, filament has to be pulled manually) 2. 15 beeps, signal to unload fila. Then, Auto cooldown 3 Click to temp up. 15 beeps signal temp reached to Load fila 4. Load fila 5. Click to fast feed, and purge 6. Click to resume printing Also, since there's no option in LCD to limit Unload and Load feed lengths, and if you really wanna set those values, then I figured this works well - set Fast load length to 450mm, feed Filament 25-50mm into the Bowden Tube, and resume I hope this helps.
@@Crosslink3D Do keep posted what you find, and if my findings are correct. Cuz the workflow that I noted, worked fine for me. Took a bit of time figuring out what the heck was going on.. LoL Thanks for the great videos again. P.S. I fixed my horrible typos in my original comment. Sorry about that.
@@mccolister it's never a good idea to use someone else's compiled firmware. But, I can still share mine. I just don't wanna post it here, or share my contact info in the public realm
I use Octoprint so I didn't realize it was part of the SD Card support and couldn't figure out it's use. Now that I know it's for the SD Card support, there's no reason to remove it.
Hi daniel i follow this tutorial for setting up filament change option in marlin but when i start a print it prime the nozzle and com back in the filament change position and unload the filament and than ask me to load new filament before start to printing can you help thx.
That was a bug in 2.0.5, which should be fixed in 2.0.6 that was released today. Be aware that the default configuration files have also been changed so you probably will not be able to use your existing ones.
I followed the video, and successfully compiled Marlin 2.0.6 after making the suggested updates to enable M600 Filament Change for my Ender 3 V2. However, the Control Screen is messed up in places, e.g. "Storage Configuration" looks like "orage configuration", Transmission Rations sub menu shows as "Transmission ra E" etc
It seems like it's an issue with the new Display files. Chep has a video on V2 firmware upgrade, and he flashes the display as well, and had the same issue. I have a video of the issue, Keene know how to share, good sir.

AWESOME ! Hey Daniel ! I am very happy to be one of those 1 Million ppl :) THank you!
Great to have you here!
Thank you! I just started compiling my own firmware last night and I've almost got it all perfect for my needs now.
Thank you! This is one of the features that I miss having from the stock Creality firmware. I realize now that I should have changed the settings when I installed the direct drive kit.
your videos are very thorough, which i appreciate!! thanks for doing what you do, you've helped me immensely

Finally just got around to this again and implemented. Works great ! Thanks :)
Glad it helped!
Wow this is just what i was looking for as i was racking my head trying to configure this!, excellent excellent!
Nicely explained and plenty of links to additional resources - much appreciated and keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
Daniel, where can I find that electronics case cover with the built in fan/vent? Thanks!
Great stuff Daniel!!! Exactly what I needed to know. Plain and simple!!! Thank you for sharing! Vielen Dank!!! ;-)
How do I add additional presets in Marlin so I can preheat for PETG and TPU? Could you make another video on that? Thanks!
Great suggestion!

Thanks Daniel. I don't get all three options. I only get Change filament which is a bit confusing.
Hi Daniel, thanks for the great explanation! Is it possible when the head parks to change the height that it parks at?
Excellent tutorial! Thanks.

Will this work on the ender 3 v2? Currently my older ender 3 pro has this feature but its absent in the newer Ender 3 v2... great video!
It depends, I haven't tried to upgrade my Ender 3 v2 to Marlin yet. This is something for another video.
I tried this on my Ender 3 v2 (latest Marlin 2.0.x bugfix version). Do see anywhere in the menus filament loading/unloading. Has anyone else tried this?
Thank you! I lost this feature when I upgraded to my SKR Mini and wasn't sure how to get it back.
👍
Hi, my config have only change menu (v2.0.5.3). Dont have load/unload options. What is this? Great video.
You must uncomment "FILAMENT_LOAD_UNLOAD_GCODES " for have load and unload on lcd screen. You can see the line 1909 at 04:00
i got it working, but it only shows me "change filament?" yes or no options when in the printer menu. Am I missing something that would let me set custom/preset filament temps as shown at 5:00
Thanks again for this video, would please share your extruder and filament guide and yellow part upgrade links please? Thanks
Great update video 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍😀

Hi everyone. There's some compilation .bin like that is available on the creality website that is eneble m600? thanks a lot!
Vielen danke Daniel. Get a metal extruder arm! My plastic arm failed after a short time. Have had no problems since.
Yes, I tried that also. Dual gears version. It’s awesome!
I have de creality v4.2.2 board with marlin 2.0.1 and is not detecting the m600 comand, does this tutorial works for this board?

@@Crosslink3D Thanks for answering, I'll check.
my machine likes to spit out the filament right before the print starts again. ive read on this issue im trying somthing right now. any tips?

Hey Daniel, is there any way to get rid of the "Attach Media" and "Media Released" in the menu?
I think this is part of the SDCARD support. If you can hack the code, you might be able to remove it but WHY?

Hey man I want to add a beep during pause and end of print
Creality Ender6 not working this command.... :(
Thankyou!!!!!
works in a ender 3 v2??
Sure
My extruders are actually now going the wrong direction!
I want to mess with Marlin but it seems so intimidating
Wait for it, it’s going to become easier, soon 😉
