## how it works
|
||||
it searches for ```LAYER_CHANGE``` in the input gcode, counts them, then generates a gradient with that number of steps. Then it searches again and inserts toolchanges into the gcode at the appropriate layers. Finally, it outputs the code as ```input-filename_gradient.gcode``` into the source directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### toolchanges
|
||||
This script inserts the following:
|
||||
``` G10
|
||||
T#
|
||||
G11```
|
||||
|
||||
This retracts the filament, swaps the tool, then unretracts. The rest of the toolchange/purge is up to your firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
## IMPORTANT
|
||||
Make sure you slice your file for a single extruder, this does not take existing toolchanges into account.
