Dual X-axis purging over part
Hi,
short intro: I do have a highly modified CR10 printer which
got now a complete new, selfmade X-axis with two print heads.
I already did some working repetier configurations (Version
1.0.3) in the past, but now it is my first time with dual-x mode.
First: Print heads and offsets are calibrated and working.
The only thing I am really struggling is the firmware behaviour at tool changes.
--> the new tool is always directly moving to the old tool
position by firmware. I cannot influence that by gcode. This is for sure very
bad if I want to purge the new tool before printing. This purging action will be done than directly at the position of the old tool...not good
I'd like to purge the new tool at parking position (similar
to BCN3d sigma printer) bevor it does any move at all. Am I too silly to see
that option? I am in fact a bit desperate because normally I am getting this
small issues solved flawlessly
Is my problem clearly described? According my understanding I
cannot solve it via a tool change script because the firmware is forcing the
new tool to old position of old tool before he is reading the next gcode lines.

Set it to 1 for lazy mode. Then it will move to position with first extrusion and otherwise stay at park position.
You might want to upgrade to 1.0.4dev which has some improvements here.
--> So, I figured out that I have to add the line manually into the configuration.h (I pasted it right under #define DUAL_X_AXIS 1)
Would be cool to directly implement this option as standard I guess?
