When looking into #14784, I found a helpful posting that suggested that the air inside the CORE One enclosure might be too hot for the existing cooling moves to be effective: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mmu3-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/core-one-mmu3-2/#post-759855
I tested this theory by extending the number of cooling moves to 6 up from 2, and this had a great improvement on my Core ONE + MMU3 reliability. Prints started working flawlessly, where previously I would have blobs and MMU load failures (the tip ends were very bad when unloaded too hot).
But just setting the number of cooling moves adds a lot of time when it may not be necessary. This PR adds an option to wait for the target cooling temperature near the end of the cooling moves, before the filament is unloaded. This has the same very positive effect on the reliability without adding too much time to each filament change. It is self-tuning in that it will only wait as long as needed, so with good ambient temperature should add almost no time.
I've tested it with Prusament PLA, PETG, and Woodfill all with great results. I hope this can be added as an option and maybe even become the default at some point. Thanks!
