hi there,I’m new to idex printers and I picked this one up used… when printing in dual mode. often on the first layer my left extruder will do its thing and go back home as normal… when its time for the right extruder to start it just sits there at temp and doesn’t move… I have tried many differen…

i do se T0 and T1 here is the full g code Upload files for free - SSDM_Traffic_Cone_White.gcode - ufile.io

At a first glance the g-code seems to be ok. You may want to run PID-tuning iot ensure that the observed problem is not caused by incorrect PID parameters. Incorrect nozzle PID parameters could result in infinite waiting time to reach target temperature…

thanks Bjoern, Just to be clear i can visually see on the screen that the extruders get to the correct temp when they should… i will review the link you sent though and give it a try. thanks again

I had a thought… in the stl files i posted Traffic_Cone_Orange.stl and Traffic_Cone_White.stl the orange cone is the object that will need to be printed first off. when I’m going through the process of selecting what extruder each part will be printed by does it matter if I choose the orange cone…

Selecting the wrong extruder would make a difference in case of using filament types with different printing parameters (e.g. temperature / retract / extrusion ).

yes, for sure. in this case both materials have the same printing parameters. i was more asking if it mattered what parts get what extruder. e.g. the left extruder needing to be the lower layer (STARTING LAYER)

If you did a proper nozzle calibration before, there is no difference - besides from the fact that your colours do no match…

amazing! thanks allot for the details! id definitely be interested in flashing to a different firmware. I will checkout the PID and look into the firmware swap on the weekend. do you have a recommendation what flavor/version?

You’re welcome! This is my current firmware version .

That flashing attempt was not successful. It should work with an 8 GB MicroSD card & the correct format.
