Toolhead parks outside of poop shoot

Hi!
I recently got a P1S and am liking it, but I noticed that when a print finishes the tool head parks outside of the poop shoot, causing filament to ooze out while the nozzle cools (especially with PETG and some other stringy brands).

When starting another print the printer then moves to the poop shoot, starts purging some filament, but sometimes the stuff that oozed out outside the shoot “hooks” on the shoot making the poop not fall, getting stuck in the shoot.

Here’s an example. Filament oozing out:

and here it is hooking on the side of the shoot:

(tool head is outside the shoot here, it already did the shaking to make the filament fall down.)

You can also see the filament inside the shoot, hooked to it by the bit that oozed out before. Manual intervention is required here, with me unhooking the poop from the shoot.

Is there a reason why the printer doesn’t park the toolhead inside the shoot to prevent this? Did somebody already write some modified end gcode to do this?

The root case of oozing like that is normally because of moisture in the filament expanding and building pressure in the nozzle.

Adding one line of gcode to your “Machine end G-code” should fix the position issue.

yeah, or some filaments that are quite runny by nature. The one in the pic is dried Bambu PETG HF for example, and it seems quite runny at 255C.

Thanks! is this a known thing then?

It’s the first time I’ve heard of someone requesting it. I just looked at the end Gcode and added the required move.

oh well so thanks for the care :smiley:

It’s one of the first things that I noticed, sice the printer almost always parks the toolhead there while the nozzle is hot and it is such a simple fix, that I thought it was just an oversight.
