Better Ender 5 purge bucket

It seems like this is a guide for setting up Cura profiles for printing with multiple colors using a purge bucket instead of a prime tower. The steps involve modifying G-code settings, changing default printer settings in Cura, and adding search-and-replace scripts to the Post Processing -> Modify G-code section. ### Step-by-Summary: 1. **Custom G-Code:** * Start with a new tool (T0), reset extrusion distance, extrude filament at 1.5 mm/s on the new tool, set current extruder position to 0mm, and increase feed rate. 2. **Cura Settings for Dual Extrusion:** * Set "not overridden" where there's a choice of extruders (except for the skirt). * Ensure wall, shell, height, etc settings are the same for both extruders. * Set material temperatures to the same temperature for both extruders. * Set retraction minimum travel to 0.1. * Set z-hop after extruder switch height to 0. * Disable prime tower and ooze shield under dual extrusion. * Set nozzle switch retraction distance to 0. * Set retraction speed to 1. * Set nozzle switch extra prime amount to 0. 3. **Modify G-Code in Cura:** * Add a search-and-replace script with M109 and replace it with M104. * Add another search-and-replace script with MOO and replace it with M109. 4. **Printer Settings:** * Set retraction minimum travel to 0. These steps will help set up your printer for printing with multiple colors using a purge bucket, providing better results than a prime tower.
