Re: How do you deal with the end of a filament roll?
Dale - I call that printer roulette. I lose about as often as I win; my current record is 9 3/8", from 6/27. Though that's only since I've been recording them - I'm pretty sure I've had far lower X) perbear - it's not a common issue, but I do like that solution - I had been thinking of an optical s...

Re: Found a way to prevent dragging of the second nozzle
This was right after a firmware flash and some new slic3r settings. My acceleration was still very high (3000), so the bed was probably ringing somewhat, and I didn't have Z-hop enabled. Maybe a more reasonable accel (1200) + Z-hop + keeping the second extruder hot to melt through things is the way ...

It will actually fill in the cracks and solvent-weld everything at the same time. mhorton, if you break yours trying to fix it, I'll print you one for the cost of shipping, if MG won't replace ...

Re: Trouble getting started
That's "raft". Are you using slic3r? It's a setting called "Raft Layers" in the support tab. Make sure it's set to 0.

Re: M2 here I come...
It will very likely have the V3B extruder, which to be honest is still a great extruder. The dual-extrusion kit is still in beta as far as I know.
