Tested with Bambu P1S.
0.46 looks good for me too.
But a bit confuse of the amount of poops remaining.

Hi, check out my project how to reduce waste with multiple colors (up to 8 for now).

@GuyH The 16 color doesn't check all color combinations. For example all transitions from white to darker colors.

Haven't tried this ... yet :) but I will.
Just popped in to thank you for your hard and thoughtful work.
Cheers!

Thanks, I had been looking for a quick print to test out my AMS, and most of the others seem to take hours. I just needed something fast for a basic function test.

is it possible to add the mm³ value of your testing instead the auto calculation percentage ?

the reason i ask this is because the auto calculation can change/update when fixed value's will always stay the same

@PowerChaos Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. I can tell you what Bambu studio will flush in mm3 for black to white and vise versa based on the flush multiplier but you can get this yourself by running the auto-calc and changing the value. I specifically didn't look to set a mm3 value and instead rely on the auto-calc function as it's near impossible to provide specific values for all the filament colour options out there. Does that help? I fear I'm missing what you're looking for.

@GuyH Thank you
the mm³ for black -> white or White -> black is a good baseline
let me give a example of what i mean

in version 1.1 if you put a value of 1 in the auto calculator it calculate a flush value of 400 mm³ for black->white

in version 1.3 it shows a value of 280 mm³ for black->white
in version 1.6 it shows a value of 320mm³ for black->white

as it is auto calculated it depends on the version of the studio of what value's you get and how they change the algoritme to improve flush value's ( above are fictional examples )

so a dynamic value still stays a dynamic value when a fixed mm³ value will never change

Thank you
