Re: 2 extruders warm up
Thanks for the response. I'm perhaps difficult but I don't want to use an ooze shield or prime tower simply to overcome an underlying problem in S3D. I get good dual-extrusion prints in Cura without it and was hoping that I could get the same or better efficiency from S3D (which unlike Cura is not f...

Re: a couple of ideas for dual extruder printing
I support this idea. Letting the idle nozzle cool down and then pre-heating it to be ready "just in time" for when it's needed again, is standard in Cura and as a new S3D user I'm surprised that it's not a supported feature here.

Re: 2 extruders warm up
Thanks, I'll certainly give it a try.
On a similar note - if I'm only using one extruder for a print then the unused one still prints a prime line (not sure what to call it) even if it will never be used in the model. Is there an easy way of disabling that, either using a script of otherwise?

Re: 2 extruders warm up
Has there been any update in this? My Ultimaker 3 prints like a dream in Cura but literally like a nightmare in S3D because the unused extruder keeps oozing over everything. I believe it's because both extruders remain fully heated all the time. With Cura the unused cuts the filament supply immediat...
