Ah, but then we must quibble about the difference coefficient, which 
you'd have to measure per filament, then have to worry about diameter 
changes messing it up. If you must measure it anyway, then automate the 
process and let the machinery (well, HAL) handle it.

You're almost certainly right that full-time high-low feedback isn't 
needed, but I'd like to see it in action. Which is in the plan! [grin]

Exactly: essentially a remote Bowden filament drive, but with the 
primary filament pusher located at the hot end. The former eliminates 
the guide tube and gives you essentially zero filament tension 
variation, the latter provides high drive force and fast, precise 
retraction to control short-term drool.

It's a simple matter of HAL wiring!
