Dual extrusion + ooze preention, can I use the ooze shield to prime nozzles first?
Hi all, so now that I'm doing dual extrusion, right now mainly using PLA as support material for PETG, I noticed that when my printer changes to the second extruder and heats it up, once it's at temperature it starts printing immediately, instead of using the ooze prevention skirt first. This leads to either not extruding in the first bit of the change, or a blob of filament, since the second nozzle (e3d chimera) picks up some petg over time.
I was wondering if there's a setting somewhere I missed where I can have the slicer run the ooze shield first before each nozzle respectively prints their own sections, instead of how it seems to be working, where it's semi random as to when it gets printed.

Oh good, so my ooze shield just broke free even though it's three loops thick so that's two hours wasted. Doesn't seem that there's a way to put a brim on it either. Guess I have to go without one, or do it way thicker. I do wish we could lower nozzle temp without it so I could at least try that out.
I'm starting to seriously consider changing from glass and hairspray to some other surface but the price of any name brand removeable plate in Canada is unfortunately really expensive.
