3D Chameleon MK4 - closeout sale

This is what I’m looking at:

I just bought the 3d chameleon kit a few days ago and after finishing up the red/orange LR4 kit, this will go on the v5… I think.

As a follow up to my MP3DP v4->v5 upgrade (here) and the chameleon owner inquiry thread (here, and here) and the discussion of other 3d printing mmu options (here, here) such as ERCF and TradRack, AMS (bambu), MMU (prusa), this thread is intended to show what this chameleon option is and how It will be integrated into the klipper setup on the v5.

I’m interested in suggestions or information the following question for starters:

  1. Where is the best place to put the runout sensor? the input Y? Probably not hanging off the core, but probably not far from it…
  2. What is the optimal tube length? short as possible?
  3. What macros are required
  4. What “upgrades” like the filament cutter are possible
  5. How does one use this multicolor feature most efficiently in terms of minimal color change time and minimal filament waste while maximizing print time?

Any tips or suggestions are most welcome.
