Hey AJ, Good luck with the SM2. If you find a real good bit of software to make g-codes for the laser and 3D printing, please reply. The SM Luban is ?. Unfortunately I've not had time to play or look at the different setting and their output on sm2, bit difficult with flakey software. I had a few attempts with the Palette 2 and printer trying to synchronise filament, but with device's in singularity - painstakingly difficult, so gave up and bought the S upgrade for palette 2 and bought the Hub S. As I before, I've just not had any free time to try them yet… As you still not finished my enclosure, side panels. I really hope to get some time out, to have about 2 weeks of me time and get it up running. The lamp is just to help me take the photo's.
Found bottom of Key chain was same as example, bottom of ‘Tower’ is probably 55% 2nd colour and 45% 1st colour. Key chain top 2nd colour only, including outer perimeter of shapes.
Ended up 1,240 mm +/- 3 mm of filament left made up of both colours after last cut by Pallet 2 when printer finished.
I did the calibration of extrusion etc. described by the videos to start with, but then it came to using the TPU on my printer, it started chewing it up. Extrusion speed was too fast to melt and extrude.
Perhaps train the Pallet 2 by printing a standard calibration object?
Using g-code created by printer software, use file on your printer, convert file using Mosaic, so code for the pallet 2 is able to track filament used by printer. The pallet 2 is then stopped by user if finished, if finished before Pallet 2 believes it to be, come up with message ‘ Filament length has passed limit’ and logs how much more filament used.
The data, Pallet 2 will then calculate speed of feed and length in which the printer works at.

Thank you for the link! I will try these solutions.
Why is the transition tower so big for the final print when total 3d printed piece/s are smalll?
example: Tower = 11 grid squares by 8 grid squares.
Object wanting to print = 6X5 grid squares. seems a great deal of waste.
Also, I don’t see any images on this page of the cogs.
So does this mean that when you set the amount of Transition length, this determines the how big the Tower will be on the overall finished splice?
