The only shortcoming I see with that location is that editing does not appear possible once the initial period expires. There is zero chance that I would get it complete on the first pass. I could post a link to it. It's not something that needs …

Perfect!When I get some more experience with this, I'd like to write it up so others (like me) don't have to go through the same frustration. What is a good way to post it here?I'll probably also put something on Thingiverse item I made to mount th…

I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the E axis reference, but I don't have a basic understanding about the system, and I didn't find anything in the G-code wiki that helped. Before I went to bed, I had the thought that I see G92 E0 …

Help! I've tried to tune the sel/desel commands to minimize the potential for oozing, but something has gone wrong.The extruder scale factor seems to be about twice (maybe 2.54) what I expect, and I am clueless. It is probably obvious, but not to me…

I turned off G10/11 firmware retraction and went back to slicer generated retract commands. Priming the hotend is a bit tricky, but it works OK and fairly easy once you get the method in mind. I'll post what I have after I give it a more thorough …

Yes, I DID enter it exactly as written. And, I could have looked at it for a long, long time before I noticed the error, especially since I was using the G-code for the first time and was unsure about it. I did check that the end-commands (althou…

I put the following code in the select and deselect commands for extruder 0 and 1, and uploaded the FW: Select Command: M209 S0 /n M83 /n G1 E41.0 F200 /n M82 /n M209 S1 /n G4 S4 /n M116Deselect Command: M209 S0 /n M83 /n G1 E-41.0 F2000 /n …

I may have not understood what you were suggesting when you said:" I would try to solve this in firmware instead of slicer. Much more safe in long run." I just took a look at the configurator again and maybe you were suggesting using the select/dese…

Slic3r contains a provision to add tool change G-code in the Printer Settings tab, and I found an example that uses placeholder extruder variables to heat/cool the two extruders in a dual extruder tool switch. It seems like a person could add code t…

I think you are telling me that a solution is to add code to the firmware. While there was a time I might have been able to tackle something like that, it was decades ago. I thought there might be an easy solution to automate filament changes using…

As you certainly expected, all of the virtual extruders in the script below now work perfectly! At the first attempt, I did make the mistake of adding a blank line before the T0, and it's probably no surprise to anybody but me that another virtual…
-
That's good news, I suppose. I had a passing thought that Slic3r was about the only other thing that was suspect. You said: "If you use only one extruder slic3r omits T0 and will use the current extruder which must not be T0!" That doesn't seem to …
-
The only thing that is common in the PC I just setup is the Slic3r profiles and RH mix script, as well as the printer with recent repetier FW. If I remember correctly, when I looked at the G Code resulting from the first virtual extruder, it did N…

I'm using Repetier FW Dev 1.0 dated 3/24/17. I used Marlin briefly just to see if it made any difference in the handling of the virtual extruders. I also tried it as a dual extruder with a shared hotend.Prior to trying Marlin, I was using Repetier …

I setup a different computer to use with my printer. It never had any 3D printer stuff installed on it. In printer setup, I set it for one heater for all extruders, defined two virtual extruders and brought over all my Slic3r profiles from the or…
-
There aren't any indications of an error from either the printer or Repetier Host. I tried a simple two entry setup, and the first one failed. If I remember correctly, the wrong stepper is energized when the first virtual extruder is selected. I

I tried 99999 and -1. 99999 drives the Y axis to max deflection from the home position when M600. -1 drives the Y axis to zero. Any other choices? I didn't see any Define statements that could be commented out.
-
I ran into this issue again recently, when I was testing other FW options in anticipation of a hardware change. I noticed that when I looked at the EEPROM setting there was a DISABLED option that I don't remember seeing last summer. Does the DISAB…

An updated Cura Slicer would be a great addition to Repetier Host. I default to Slic3r because I am familiar with it and the interface seems more logical to me, but Cura has saved the day more than once when Slic3r made some strange choices when sl…
-
I am another of the several that are moaning about the lack of a backup capability for Repiter Host. I was tempted to ask the same question a year ago, but I poked around enough to get the feeling that I knew the answer. Without second-guessing t…
-
Sorry for the delay in responding. Things started working, and I didn't check back again after a day or several. As I said above, the only thing I questioned was if the EEPROM was not updated and then I managed to have it updated in a later downlo…
-
I tried again using the configurator and checking Mix extruder using V.929 and V1.0. The config files were correct, and everything worked as it should. The only thing I can think of is that it is likely in the early tests the EEPROM was not rewrit…
-
I was able to get the 2 to 1 mix extruder to work with FW .929. I am hesitant to say how, because I couldn't get it to work by just checking the MIX extruder in any of the variations I tried using the DEV FW. Sorry to say I didn't take notes on wh…

I'm going to give the E3D Cyclops clone another try with new hardware. When I took a config.h for a working dual extruder setup and modified it to a MIX extruder using the configurator and V1.0 Dev firmware, the result was an undefined EXT0. Check…
-
That looks like a good solution; many thanks!. I'll put something in my Repitier Host printer profile to park the X carriage off the bed. Hopefully, I'll get a 2 to 1 mix block works acceptably, and that will remove the complication of dual extrud…
-
Sorry if I seem to have a very thick skull. This is my last question on about this; I promise. The whole topic of MIN switches and bed origin has been confusing me since I got the printer in January. It is especially confusing now, since the FW is …
-
I understand the logic in being able to move the extruder that is offset to the origin position (0,0). Given that, it still seems logical to permit the x carriage to park at the physical position defined by the MIN switch. As it is now, the carria…
-
My understanding of the home position is different from yours. It makes no sense to me that there is a different home position for different extruders that are mounted on the same carriage. I must not understand the use of the home position beyon…
-
Thank you for the help. I think I have a better understanding of what is going on, and how to proceed. The copy of dev fw I was using may have been out of date. In my experiments with a dual extruder with one nozzle last night it became clear to me…

I got it working as a single nozzle dual extruder with a shared heater. I modified the configuration.h file:set shared heater to 1set ext 1 sensor to ext 0 sensorset ext 1 heater pin to -1 When I get this working as well as I can, I'll try the col…
