Ditto printing

[michel000]

Hi i have i3 pro C dual extruder and i want to print 2 of the same objects add the same time (Ditto printing)
How can i do this ?

i tryed M280 S1 but that did not work,
maybe my firmware doesnt support it ?
What firmware should i use?

Can i use repetier firmware for my printer ? And can you send me the settings from the merlin firmware ?
Repetier does support ditto printing.

I asked about the ditto printing, the pro C can not do this at present. Cause the two nozzles are so close, and if you want to do that, you must disassemble it and using another carriage to separate them away. And another problem, you must know how to modify the firmware.

Hi MArk,
The objeect i need to print are very small and it is possible to "Ditto" print them.
i need to print 300 of them and it would help me a lot if i qould get it working.

Qould i use a Y cable and just connect both steppers to the same wire ? Or will this burn my stepper driver? The Z axis is also connected like that..

I remember that you can choose to use either or both of them in the repetier host, you can find it out.
