IDEX_SINGLE

Single toolhead mode for single color, multicolor, and multimaterial prints. This is the default printing mode.

IDEX_MIRROR

Prints both your model and its mirror image simultaneously. Run this macro before starting a print to enable MIRROR mode. The printer returns to single toolhead mode after print completion.

IDEX_PARK

Parks the active toolhead in its designated position. Only available in single toolhead mode when not printing.
