Setting Default Extruder?

Hey:

I saw a post from last year saying this wasn’t yet possible, but I don’t see it on the feature request list.

I have a Flashforge Creator Pro, and I’d like to set the default extruder in the case of single extruding. I often load two different materials (ABS and PLA, different colours), and I like to choose which one to extrude based on either the qualities of the material (higher heat, brittleness, etc) or colour. It’d be nice not having to load/unload filament for that.

I imagine since this is probably part of the slicing code, which is in the cloud, this isn’t something we can modify in the source code and send patches, is that true? If not, let me know. If I get spare time, I wouldn’t mind noodling with this and other such features.
