Single extruder, multi matertial - Tool selection (T0, T1)
Hi,
the issue apply to multi color printing on a single nozzle, through manual filament change while print is in pause.)
I'm using a non-IDEX dual extruder machine (T0 and T1 tools, RepRap Firmware on Duet board), and I mainly use the second extruder, the T1 one, so in the Start Gcode Script I use "T1" as first command. This is ok for single-material printing, because PE do not introduce "T" commands while using the default extruder.
The problems arise when I need to print with multiple colors, because while enabling 2 extruders and the Multi Material Single Extruder option PE automatically insert "T0" command just after my custom Start Gcode Script.
This behaviour is really annoying because I need to manually clean the Gcode before loading it up to the printer
Do you have any ideas in order to circumvent this problem?
Thank you!
Custom toolchange gcode
Does it generate the "T0" even if you add a custom toolchange code?
RE: Single extruder, multi matertial - Tool selection (T0, T1) and toolchange Gcode
Hi Jkavalik,
Yes, it generate the "T0" also when adding a custom toolchange code (ex. "M600").
Moreover, PE introduce that custom code also at the beginning of the Gcode file, just before the Start Gcode Script: I think that this behaviour is useless because I'm really not changing tool when the print start.
Thank you!
Although it's not quite the same topic the issue is addressed in this thread:

RE: Single extruder, multi material - Tool selection (T0, T1) and toolchange Gcode - Workaround
Hi,
I found a post-processing workaround by the user Jacotheron.
Anyway I think that PS should fix that issues:
- Maybe letting user to select the tool number for each extruder, allowing also the same value for each extruder.
- Avoiding the insertion of the Custom Toolchange Code for the first activated nozzle at the the start of the printing process.
Thank you.
