Both extruders heat up on second layer in Dual Extruder system #9620

Open 3DSmitty opened 1 year ago

Description of the bug

I have a dual extruder system. All works good except after the first layer both extruders heat up and the second extruder oozes a little causing artifacts in the print. I assume only the active extruder (T0) should be heated not both of them. Is this a bug in prusaslicer or am I missing something?

@3DSmitty It is not a bug in the sense it would do something different then intended. This is how Slic3r and PrusaSlicer behaved for a long time.

However, there is now a new alpha version 2.6.0-alpha3 which changes the behavior with dual extruder setups (described here in the "Multi-material printing" section). I would be glad if you could try it and give us some feedback about how the changes affected your particular setup. Namely, this problem should be possible to solve by using the reworked "Ooze prevention" function.

Those changes sound great! I will try it out and report back, thank you.
