Detailed description of changes:
More quiet print fan operation:
This change is significant especially for low fan speeds.
Heatbed regulation improved:
Heatbed PWM now works on a higher frequency. This helps to reduce the power supplies "clicking" noises.
Improved heater temperature regulation:
When changing temperatures during the print, temperature regulation was very slow in some cases led to preheat error. Regulation has been improved. This should solve issue #1362.
SpoolJoin for multi-material prints:
It is now possible to use the "SpoolJoin" function also with multi-material prints. If some filament is depleted, the printer replaces it with next filament for the rest of print (for example if filament 2 was depleted, the printer starts using filament 3 instead). If there is no filament which can be used (all filaments were depleted), the printer waits for the user to insert new filament manually.
Smarter load/unload function:
If a user chooses load (or unload) in the menu with a cold nozzle, nozzle preheat menu automatically appears. After selecting material, preheat starts. When the nozzle is hot and the printer is ready for a load, beeper signal occurs. This function is working on single material printers with load/autoload and unload. It is not currently implemented for multi-material printers (load to nozzle, unload and eject).
Mintemp for MK2.5 updated:
"Mintemp" is now checked after a short period of preheating. This is necessary for maximum reliability on all MK2.5 Rambo boards.
