As documented in https://community.octoprint.org/t/invalid-tool-messages/28937 , the Invalid Tool errors come from specifying tools other than T0 on the set extruder temperature commands (M104, M109). The A10T printer has only one nozzle shared between 3 physical extruders. S3D does not appear to ha...

If the M109 isn't actually waiting until the temperature is reached, then that issue should probably be moved to https://forum.lulzbot.com/ . I also can't find a description of M133 so I'm not sure what you mean by that. Your issue with supports and the ooze shield has nothing to do with this topic ...

Anyway, thanks for your post, it helps me understand much better. One thing I haven't figured out is that when I type M218 by itself in the console, I thought the printer is supposed to respond with the current offsets. I don't see any response at all, but maybe I am doing something wrong. From htt...

Regarding offset, I might be wrong but I thought I read that someone reported using Simplify3D without checking "Apply toolhead offsets to Gcode coordinates". I had to do the opposite - the only way I could get it to work on S3D was by checking that box. The TAZ 6 (Marlin) firmware defaul...

In other words, shouldn't there be M109 commands for both heads? I don't see that in this Taz 6 Dual v3.fff I believe you are correct and both heads need temperature commands. I haven't examined the attachments and other code posts line by line but the correct start (and end) code for S3D and the T...

The TAZ 6 self-leveling bed is handled by the commands in the start gcode as is the nozzle wipe. The biggest difference between Cura and S3D is that Cura handles the nozzle offset(s) before outputting the gcode and S3D expects the nozzle offsets to be handled by the (Marlin) firmware. This is easily...

I have found with the TAZ 6 (with all the tool heads I own) that S3D does some things better and Cura does some things better. I agree with you that Cura handles standby temps on the dual heads better than S3D. However, I doubt that once setup, S3D has any higher risk of damaging the printer (tool h...

I am also having problems because of the order of printer for the skirt/brim, ooze shield, and prime tower. This combined with a lack of a first retraction of the inactive nozzle make dual extrusion printing with S3D very difficult. I believe the following fixes will solve the majority of the proble...

Using a Tool Change Script almost solves this problem but there are some shortcomings in that approach as well. I have started another topic for that.

b-morgan

When the Starting Script is inserted into the output GCode, [toolchange_retract_distance] and [toolchange_retract_speed] are not replaced. In order to use a Tool Change Script, it is necessary to setup the initial conditions so that the first insertion of the script at the beginning of the GCode out...
