Tool change necessary in Cura?

Open svarteld opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

First, a big thanks for making the FFCP usable with Cura!

In my prints with dual extrusion and one head printing support material, when switching between active head for each layer, the heads move slowly to a righthand back position outside of the print area, and then sideways/up a bit, then resumes printing with the other head. I don't use a wipe tower.

This seems unnecessary and makes the prints take a lot more time. Can it possibly be removed by me? I've coded before, but a very long time ago.

Edit: is this possible a "tool change", that Cura imposes?

Thanks! /P

I am also having this issue on Cura 5.4 with my 2016 Creator Pro, but it slowly heads to the right-back side of the printer. It then proceeds to heat up the other extruder and cool down the other before starting printing again. It does this every layer. I am having to use Flashprint for now, since the extruder changes take longer than the print itself.
