how print only with 2nd extruder with cura

Post by maverickk89 » Thu Apr 23, 2020 3:35 pm

hello,
I'm using Cura 4.6 and I would like to know how to print using only the second extruder, it's annoying change often the filament when I mainly use two colors....
I tried to disable first filament on the menu above the model but it seems to not work...

Hi, you can adjust the color mixing ratio on the screen 0: 100 is the second extruder work:
1. Select "Mixer", press the knob, turn the button to select "Mix: 0%; 100",
adjust the mixing ratio, and press the knob to confirm the setting.
2. To quickly switch the ratio between E0 and E1, select "Toggle mix" to switch.
