Dual Extrusion Problem, only one extruder works

Post by PaulDaniels » Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:19 pm

Hi,

after doing a mod of a 2in 2out hotend upgrade that went really well, I cannot get the second extruder to work after slicing in Cura and in RepetierHost.

I have tested both extruders using RepetierHost sending a command and both work, so that means power is there.
I have changed both programs, as far as I know, so that they are not a shared hotend. Object is set with two colours, put together, sliced and I can see that there are two colours, but when it prints it wants to change the filament on the first extruder.

There is another thread with the same problem but no answer to it.

many thanks for any help
