Working on the new logo design for @marlinfirmware. What do you think?

@layers @marlinfirmware Well now I'll have to fix those rough character spacings. I'm making fun of the excesses of AI art generators, of course. But AI can do some pretty cool things with our existing art….

I've been reading the Marlin docs for M600, but the behavior of the R parameter isn't clear to me.

Given:

M600 R240

Will the printer heat/cool the extruder to 240C before moving to the resume position? Or will it move to the resume position before initiating the temp change?

I only ask because I had a bad experience using M104 & M109 after M600 not knowing about the R parameter.

@chrishuck The temperature is set before loading of the new filament begins, if higher than the current target, otherwise it is set afterward. See https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/8bce9dec906d59c3091e870d614f834c73aaeb89/Marlin/src/feature/pause.cpp#L634

@chrishuck If the given R value is higher than the current target temperature then it will raise the temperature to the R value before loading the new filament. If the R value is lower than the current target temperature it will instead be set after the loading is done.

The plastic waste problem is only going to worsen if everyone adopts multi-color printing, accessible at lower and lower price-points. The filament should be purged into a useful object (or a long 1.75mm diameter cylinder), not into a useless tower or box of squiggles. Let’s work on that!

The Marlin Simulator is very handy for working on those ColorUI TFT layouts. Speeding through layout refinements that would otherwise require a small pile of hardware and constant re-flashing. Big thanks to Chris Pepper for making this super helpful utility a part of the Marlin package. @marlinfirmware
