If I want to extrude only 1 color at first, I understand I need to load 2 filaments either way so one doesn't go back into the un-used path. Do I need to do anything special with retraction? I remember reading at one point that when you have this 2 in 1 out type of hotend, you had to use firmware retraction or it was highly suggested to use firmware retraction so both filaments would be retracted at the same time. Is this still the case, or did I understand thing incorrectly, or am I remembering something slightly wrong?
