Rostock V2 max + Mosaic Palette

[Jetguy]

Here is a quick picture of a great successful print using 4 colors with the Mosaic Palette on the Rostock Max V2. Please ignore the blue tape, I discovered my leveling was a tiny bit off after having moved the printer and forgot to check before starting the print. I saw the first layer didn't stick on the purge/wiper block so just used masking tape on top of the first layer to make up for sloppy leveling.

Note, I am using a Bondtech QR extruder upgrade and running using Repetier on RADDS. The picture shows the required encoder mounting using a ziptie and a few additional holes in the top plate. Encoder placement is critical.

4 colors, single nozzle.

Some notes to make Bowden extruders work with the early version of the Mosaic Palette standalone application.

For the Bowden fix to add more length, the file to edit
print-parse.js line 160
Changing the value in that line150 adds 150mm for the last piece, increasing that to say 1500 would add 1.5m For my setup, I measured 850mm from nozzle tip to above the feeder motor. This makes the last segment longer as the Palette cuts the last segment.

tower.js line 253 and 255 (tower.js is in source>js>modules)

have a -1 this is the retraction setting (one is for relative and one for absolute, change the 1 to 5 or whatever retraction you need - that should work...)

resources\app\src\js\modules\tower.js This is the dwell time that is used to pick up pings. Some firmware like Craftbot is known to not properly dwell for the correct time and increasing this value changes the gcode for the printer to edit the dwell time so the printer will actually dwell that long on the purge towers during a ping sequence to help with sync.

I'm trying P6000 but lower values like 5000 or 4000 might work. In my testing, Marlin, Repetier, and Sailfish all enforced the time correctly, but a slightly longer G4 dwell helped improve detection for me.

Here is my S3D factory file so you can see all the settings.

Note, you generally need to place items in the right half of the build space as the Mosaic app puts the purge blocks to the left. Minor bug that it's not great at ensuring the purge towers are not outside the build space if you forget and center your actual print objects.
All stuff that will be fixed in the next release.
