IDEX Printing with PrusaSlicer
Hello everyone!
I'm using a Tenlog DL3 pro it is supposed to be used with CURA but I want this to run on PrusaSlicer.
The profile is looking good so far but the only bug issue I'm having is that: It parks the next printhead above my piece when the other is done printing and it oozes some fillament and burns the price below a bit.
I'm looking for any settings to change the tool switch 'position' or 'park' to prevent this.
In my CURA profile the print head stays at this X-home position when its prepareing to print agian. So how do I do this in PrusaSlicer?
If you have any experience with this or you might know a solution then plaese write me back 🙂
Thanks for your time everyone and have a good day!

I don't have a multi extruder setup myself, but I suspect the key is to issue a park command in the tool change custom gcode field under Printer Settings.

Hello, I'm looking into the differences in post-processed .gcodes between PrusaSilcer an CURA and, yes PrusaSlicers seems to call out custom 'fillament gcode' everytime it switches print head. I did not specify anything there. but I wonder why I did not have to do this in CURA. The only thing I ever did in CURA is specify Start and End gcode. I'm a bit of a noob so I don't know yet what I have to edit in my printer settings to get the same outcome in PrusaSlicer. all tips are welcome 🙂
RE: I made a PrusaSlicer profile for Tenlog TL-D3 Pro
Hello ToHeCo - I hope you're having success with your Tenlog printer. I just got one and wanted to use PrusaSlicer with it. Since I had no luck finding a pre-made profile, I created my own. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4923507
I hope you find it useful!
I also had the issue you described, that it would park the extruder over the bed when it switches extruders. I added some custom gcode "before tool change":
G91 ;relative positioning G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure G1 Z+0.5 E-5 F9000 ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more G28 X ;move X to min endstops G1 E+6; prime nozzle G90 ;absolute positioning
RE: IDEX Printing with PrusaSlicer
Is there any way to get prusaslicer to prime the nozzle for the "next tool" during tool changes?
