Remove excess macros

The macros panel will look very cluttered after installing FLÀP, most of the Macros you don't need to touch. To clean up the panel do as follows:

1. Press the gear in the top right corner of Mainsale
2. Find Macros setting page
3. Switch to "Expert"
4. Name it and add filament_load_init and filament_unload_init to the group. These are all you need and are the the main load and unload macros.
5. Click "Done"

🚧 Adding filament detection at the start of the print 🚧 (This feature is WiP)

Ever start a print but forget to load the filament? Well even if you say no, it can still happen.

We can add a short piece of Gcode to actually check if filament is loaded before a print starts, then correct load filament if needed.

1. Open the config file with your PRINT_START macro
2. Near the top of macro, before heating and homing add:

  {% if (printer['filament_switch_sensor filament_sense'].filament_detected|lower == 'false')%}
     M118 No Filament Detected!
     CANCEL_MACRO
  {% endif %}

3. Save and restart

Now when you don't have a filament loaded and start a print you will get the following prompt which will help you load filament.

🚧 Keep heated bed on and extruder off during a pause / runout 🚧 (This feature is WiP)

This is a really needed trick if you ask me. If your printer runs out of a filament overnight and you first attend to your printer 4 hours later, your heated bed is totally cooled down and your print does not stick anymore.

Thankfully someone has a clever macro for that.
