Replicator 2X works with only the right extruder #2

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for the definition files. It helped me greatly.

I'm able to print with the right extruder fine, and the print quality is good. My problem starts when I select the left extruder in Cura, it keeps printing with the right extruder. I wonder if you could point me in the right direction?

I noticed that the start GCODE uses only the right extruder. What tell the printer to use the left extruder? I was expecting a variable somewhere, but didn't see anything.

By the way, I found an error in the start GCODE. The command "M109 S{material_bed_temperature} T0" has to be replaced with "M140 S{material_bed_temperature} T0".

Finally, I didn't find where to place the files:

  1. machine_instances/MakerBot+Replicator+2X.global.cfg
  2. definition_changes/MakerBot+Replicator+2X_settings.inst.cfg
  3. definition_changes/makerbot_rep2x_1st+%232_settings.inst.cfg (is %232 legit in the filename?)
  4. definition_changes/makerbot_rep2x_2nd+%232_settings.inst.cfg
  5. All the definition files under "quality_changes"

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Laurent

Hi,

Quick update. I figured that the file could be actually located under roaming, and not local, and bingo, that's where they are.

The problem I face right now is that it always print with the right extruder, even if I disable it. Even stranger, if I print together two models, one with the right extruder, and one with left extruder, it works.

I'll keep on debugging the problem, but if someone can provide some directions, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Laurent
