Nozzle cleaning routine

Sovol SV06 ACE

Hi everyone, just wanted to know if anyone of you has find out that nozzle clean routine is the same for every tipe of filament. For PLA bed and nozzle temps are perfect but when it comes to Petg or abs it uses the same temps and when it comes to adhere on the bed and being extruded I find it not good.
What do you think? Has anyone changed the macros?

I’m not currently using the official bed cleaning macro, I’m using a different one.
Theme temperatures you can set the macro to receive a specific temperature. I’ll share it with you in case you want to modify it to your liking :slight_smile:

thank you very much, i admit that i didn’t tried your start code… but you gave me a good idea of personalizing mine… so reading this and that i find out a setting that i really like, with tilt adj before everyprint end cleaning of the nozzle at the rigth temp everytime.
