Dual extruder, can't slice with second only?
Hi forumites!
I've setup my printer in Repetier-Host with 2 extruders and chose "Printer has a Mixing Extruder (one nozzel for all colors). On the primary extruder I defined white PLA, and on the secondary extruder, I defined Red PLA. I then drop a STL file on the 3D view and select it to be printed with the second extruder (Red PLA). I configured CuraEngine, but found no real settings to setup the dual extruders, but I do define the filament to use. On the slicer tab there's only one extruder listed under "Filament Settings". When I slice the model the print preview shows my model in white (first extruder), as well as the length of White PLA it will use. When I proceed to print the model, it indeed prints in white.
Is there any way to let it print in red then? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
