Honest feedback on my Star Wars collection?

I just started buying and trading pins during last month's trip to WDW and probably should not have gone to the GoPinPro shop with adult money. I know I grabbed a few scrappers off the park boards, but honestly if I like the pin that doesn't bother me too much. What I don't like is sellers (eBay) where people are being shady about it.

I'm not super into the goofy/cutesy looking character pins or the ones that are shaped like other things. But I'm curious to know what all is really out there. I would love to see some of your collections or sets so I can get an idea of what to keep my eyes out for in the future.

I have a few random ones as well that I enjoy, like firefighting stuff, if you want to throw some of those photos up too.

I've been working through this with Google AI for two days. It's currently recommending adding some G-code to the Change Filament G-code text box and I don't know how I feel about that (I'm still a beginner). There are no crashes or blobs or anything to indicate a mechanical issue. All the Bowden tubes and everything connected to the IFS seem to be fine as well. I had this issue yesterday with a three color print (hype chain links) and went through a ton of troubleshooting including adjusting my z offset and waste chute/cutter locations. Then I factory reset the machine and upgraded Flash Studio Desktop to v1.7.9 (I had been on 1.7.7 before).

Today I did a 4 color test print of a simple cube (then I made it smaller because it took too long lol) and had shifts at layers 2 and 3, but not 4??? I changed the Normal Printing acceleration to 3000 as recommended by AI, then swapped the spool as well to see if it was actually a filament or IFS issue. Layer shifts happened at the same layers. I'm at a loss.

This is what it recommends I add to the Filament G-Code section in the Printer Profile settings:

"gcode

M600 ; Trigger the printer's built-in filament change/pause macro
G4 P1000 ; Dwell/pause completely for 1000ms to clear the command buffer
G90 ; Force absolute positioning mode so coordinates aren't lost
G0 F3000 ; Lower travel speed back to the bed to prevent step skipping

Use code with caution."

It's obviously the last line that gives me pause. And since it's running just fine for single color prints at this time, I was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations on what to address before I go possibly doing something that I don't know how to undo?

I can absolutely provide more info if requested. I know I probably didn't give enough but I don't know enough yet to be sure of what you might need in order to help me out. Thanks in advance; if not for solving, at least for reading!
