Dual upgrade giving me trouble!
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2016 1:00 am
Ok, so I have a bunch of what are probably dumb questions. I started the upgrade on the weekend but the motor wouldn't work (it was in the wrong spot on the RAMBo). Then I couldn't level the bed because I had the wrong firmware installed. When I finally had both extruders loaded with filament (PLA) and ready to try to print, I took Jules' FFF file for dual colour PLA and imported it to S3D. I have just tried four prints in a row with the same issues:
1) Only left extruder purges and then it purges in a huge blob on the bed that started to clog up the hotend. How do I get it to purge off the bed and wipe again? I see the starting script says for both extruders to purge, but that is not happening.
2) Only the left extruder prints, even though I have two separate files in S3D and use the Dual Extrusion Wizard to assign different colours (I tried this with both the Makergear M2 Dual profile and the VEDual Dual Color PLA profile). In each case, it starts to print fine but then uses the left extruder (Tool 0) to print both parts of the piece.
I tried to go into the FFF settings and configuring the extruders separately as opposed to both at once, and then the left extruder didn't work at all.
Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks.
