Help with G code script for Maker Gear

I am really not good with script and I have read this article https://www.simplify3d.com/support/arti ... -tutorial/ but it guess I am not getting what is wrong because my right extruder will not prime before printing. If anyone can please help me trouble shoot I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,


M108 S255 ; Turn on M2 fans
T1 ; Switch to right extruder offsets for homing
G28 ; Home all axes
T0 ; Switch to left extruder
G1 X0 Y50 Z0.3 F9600 ; Move forward to avoid binder clips
G1 X200 Z10 F3600 ; Move off platform
G1 Z0.4 ; Position nozzle above buildplate
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
G1 E25 F300 ; Purge right extruder
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
T1 ; Set right extruder

T0 ; Switch (back) to left extruder
G1 X0 Y50 Z0.3 F9600 ; Move forward to avoid binder clips
G1 X200 Z10 F3600 ; Move off platform
G1 Z0.4 ; Position nozzle above buildplate
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
G1 E25 F300 ; Purge right extruder
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
T1 ; Set right extruder
G92 E0 ; Zero extruder
G1 X160 Z0.1 E1.0 F1200 ; Slow wipe
G1 X140 Z0.25 ; Lift
T0 = left extruder, ok.
T1 = right extruder, ok
but all commands are available as long as the next change of extruders (T0 <>T1) follows.
The line G1 E25 F300 ; Purge right extruder is related to T0 and not to T1.

For T1 there is no command to purge the nozzle present.

Also note that T0 is usually the right one and T1 usually the left.
