Support extruder doesn't work if set to extruder 1
in CuraEngine
Apparently when slicing with Cura, you MUST have the support extruder set to Ext2. Because of some flipping around of filaments, I ended up putting support on Ext1 and Model filament on Ext2. When you try and set "Support Extruder" to Extruder 1 it will never generate G-Code correctly. Everything prints on one nozzle. In the object placement, I select "2" for the extruder on the STL, then in the CuraEngine Settings: Print->Extrusion I set Suppport Extruder to Extruder 1.
This appears to be a bug. It works fine in CuraEngine directly, so it's probably something with the way Repetier calls Cura. Honestly, I've come across so many bugs with the CuraEngine integration in Repetier that it's becoming hard to trust it. I have had some spectacular print failures due to crazy slicing and it's getting really annoying to have to check the G-Code manually every print. I've been having to do most my slicing in CuraEngine directly.
