Recent Updates:11/01/2022 - I was told that the dual extruder g-code doesn't work, so I've attached a sample print photo using the dual extruder profile g-code. Everything works great. I've attached the INI file with Physical Printer, but there's been some discussion that the file isn't working. If that's the case, the G-Code is posted below. Simply copy and paste the G-code into the appropriate box in the appropriate profile. The settings work. If you're still having issues then I would recommend returning to IdeaMaker, because G-code editing may be too advanced.10/31/2022 - I guess I should have mentioned, that with the recent INI file I uploaded, a lot of the code in the original details would change as well. I failed to update those in the text below. Those are now up to date. Or at least more up to date than they were.10/25/2022 - FULL PRUSASLICER RAISE3D PRINTER CONFIG BUNDLE INCLUDING PHYSICAL PRINTER .INI DOWNLOAD NOW AVAILABLE!!!

Well a lot has changed and I've fixed all of the issues! Here's what to do:Before starting, make sure your printer is properly calibrated/homed.Printer Settings:GeneralTo start, create Three Separate Printer Setting Profiles. One profile for Left Extruder only, one profile for Right Extruder only, and one profile for Dual Extruders. Make sure you're on the correct profile when you're making edits for that profile.Bed Shape: Set Bed Shape for all three profiles to x: 337 y: 316.50 origin: 0,0. This brings your prints to true center.Max Print Height: Set Max Print Height for all three profiles to 300mm (unless you have the plus).Extruders: Extruder count should be 1 for Left Extruder Only and Right Extruder Only. Extruder count will only be 2 for Dual Extruders profile.G-Code Flavor: RepRapFirmware Just copy and paste the following into the appropriate g-code boxes. Make SURE you are under the correct profile when doing so! Left Extruder Only Profile - Custom G-CodeStart G-Code (Left Extruder Only):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M104 T0 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set left extruder temp M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp M109 T0 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for left extruder temp T0 G21 G90 M82 M107 G28 G1 Z0.3 F500 G92 E0 G1 Z0.3 F400 G1 X100 Y5 F1000 G1 X170 Y5 E15 F200 G1 Z5 E15 F200 G92 E0 G1 Z10 F2000 ; move up from purge line G1 Y30 F2000 ; move away from purge line G1 Z[first_layer_height] M117 Printing... </code></pre> End G-Code (Left Extruder Only):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M221 T0 S100 M104 S0 M140 S0 M107 G91 G1 E-1 F300 G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000.00 G28 X0 Y0 M84 G90 </code></pre> Pause Print G-Code (Left Extruder Only)<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M2000</code></pre> All other G-Code boxes can be left blank. <<<END OF LEFT EXTRUDER ONLY PROFILE G-CODE>>> Right Extruder Only Profile - Custom G-CodeStart G-Code (Right Extruder Only):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M104 T1 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set right extruder temp M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp M109 T1 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for right extruder temp T1 G21 G90 M82 M107 G28 G1 Z0.3 F500 G92 E0 G1 Z0.3 F400 G1 X100 Y5 F1000 G1 X170 Y5 E15 F200 G1 Z5 E15 F200 G92 E0 G1 Z10 F2000 ; move up from purge line G1 Y30 F2000 ; move away from purge line G1 Z[first_layer_height] M117 Printing... </code></pre> End G-Code (Right Extruder Only):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M221 T0 S100 M104 S0 M140 S0 M107 G91 G1 E-1 F300 G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000.00 G28 X0 Y0 M84 G90 M106 P2 S0</code></pre> Pause Print G-Code (Right Extruder Only):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M2000</code></pre> All other G-Code boxes can be left blank. <<<END OF RIGHT EXTRUDER ONLY PROFILE G-CODE>>> Dual Extruders Profile - Custom G-CodeStart G-Code (Dual Extruders Profile):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M221 T0 S90.00 M221 T1 S90.00 M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] M104 T0 S[first_layer_temperature] M104 T1 S[first_layer_temperature] M109 T0 S[first_layer_temperature] M109 T1 S[first_layer_temperature] M572 D0 S0.05 M572 D1 S0.05 G21 G90 M82 M107 G28 G1 Z15.0 F[travel_speed] T0 G92 E0 G1 X30 Y-2 F800 G1 Z0.35 F200 G1 X85 Y-2 E13 F200 G1 E15 F200 G1 Z5 F200 G92 E0 G0 E-{retract_length_toolchange[0]} F200 T1 G92 E0 G1 X210 Y-2 F800 G1 Z0.35 F200 G1 X275 Y-2 E13 F200 G1 E15 F200 G1 Z5 F200 G92 E0 G0 E-{retract_length_toolchange[1]} F200 T0 G1 F[travel_speed] G1 F2000 E0.0000 M117 Printing... </code></pre> End G-Code (Dual Extruders Profile):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M221 T0 S100 M104 S0 M140 S0 M107 G91 G1 E-1 F300 G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000.00 G28 X0 Y0 M84 G90 </code></pre> Tool Change G-Code (Dual Extruders Profile):<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M104 T1 S180 ; Change this temperature when changing filament type M104 T2 S180 ; Change this temperature when changing filament type</code></pre> Pause Print G-Code<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M2000</code></pre> <<<END OF DUAL EXTRUDERS PROFILE G-CODE>>> Machine LimitsI don't use this section.Extruder 1 and Extruder 2 (These settings are the same for ALL Profiles, including dual extruder)These settings will depend heavily on your nozzle diameter and filament.

The printer firmware handles the rest. It will move out of the way and hold the nozzle/bed temps until you ask it to start via the printer display. Update - 10/25/2022 - Ooze Prevention Methods for Dual ExtrudersPrusaSlicer does NOT allow you to have Ooze Prevention and a Wipe Tower to be enabled at the same time. This update provides a work around. This update includes the addition of Tool Change G-Code to lower the tool temperature of the tool that is unused and preventing ooze. It also includes some baseline retraction/deretraction settings that will also help with ooze prevention. Tool Change G-Code (Dual Extruders Profile Only)<pre><code class="language-plaintext">M104 T1 S180 ; Change this temperature when changing filament type M104 T2 S180 ; Change this temperature when changing filament type</code></pre>This code will set the unused extruder temp to 180degF (S180). This temperature is suitable for PLA, but you will likely have to increase this for higher temp materials like petg, polycarbonate, abs, etc. For example when going from PLA to Polycarbonate on both extruders, you would have to change both T1 and T2 from S180 to something like S235. These changes in temperature will have to be manually changed in the G-code every time you change material types. I tried to find a way to automate this change, but there is no such method yet. Recommended Retraction Settings (Dual Extruders Profile Only)I took these setting directly from IdeaMakers PLA profile. They work well. Both extruder 1 and 2 need to be set the same. <figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/280512/rich_content/357140ca-63f2-4900-aee8-f46dd38d10ef/extruder-switch-ooze-control-settings.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2200590bf3-67cc-4644-b140-13679e8daa24%22%2C%22w%22%3A1920%2C%22h%22%3A1040%7D"></figure>Retraction Speed: 20mm/sDeretraction Speed: 20mm/sRetraction when tool is disabled (advanced settings for multi-extruder setups) - Length: 11mm
