Have already reset to factory defaults.

After the factory reset the splice tuning was redone as was the palette calibration. It now loads too much filament. Prior to factory reset I was as high as 500mm Bowden length and same failure.

I am trying that now, however I see a major flaw in doing this. I am already at 200% the actual length between the gears and the nozzle. If it fail to make enough filament at 150% that tells me the software is not properly calculating the amount of filament needed. This could be catastrophic for future prints.

This picture contains prints 1, 3, & 4. I have marked with a black marker where I ran out of filament.

The keychain did not finish. I will upload a picture that may better show the lack of filament. There is no filament in the tube. The bed is level and the esteps are correct. I do not have this issue when I am not using the palette 2. These issues are only showing up when using the palette 2. The machine is mainly an Anycubic I3 mega that has a BTT SKR V1.4 Turbo board and is now a direct drive with a Bondtech BMG. I will include pictures from the palette 2 to the hot end assembly.

I tried to respond to your questions. The bot marked it as spam.

Inside the enclosure is not an option. Below are the issues with the Bowden tube you supplied. I have yet to run any prints as I can't get the tube to stay in place. 1) Too stiff to bend with movement of the hot end. 2) does not fit inside the BMG extruder. 3) Flexing of tube either pulls the tube out or pulls the retaining clip off the extruder. This is directly related to #1. Can I use a different Bowden tube that will flex more? I am still not quite understanding the 2 modes, accessory vs connected. I don't want the pallette 2 to control my printer because canvass does not have the control that other slicers have. But I don't think I can do supports without using canvas to slice because then the colorblending will get messed up. In accessory mode does it still need to have a set length between the palette 2 and the hot end? If the software knows the start position it should be able to calculate the splices during the slicing. It knows the movement from home, speeds, feedrate, etc.
