e3d cyclops

[bubbasnow]

Im rollin lcnc with mk, and my extruder steppers are A and B, previously i would just change E to A with a post script for compatibility.. but now with cyclops its a different ball game. I am able to say extruder 1 is A and extruder 2 is B using the new kisslicer and get some pretty good multi material prints. has anyone found an easy solution for this?

Did you try the "use independent extruder axes" check box under "G-Code"?

I'm not sure I quite 100% understand the issue you're having, but for general use with the chimera:

Two extruders in the extruder tab, one extruder temperature controller in the temperature tab.

For dual extrusion with linuxcnc or a firmware that use's A's and B's use the post processing scripts:
{TOOL0REPLACE "E" "A"}
{TOOL1REPLACE "E" "B"}

Where do we find information on additional post processing scripts?

There is a really awesome tip of the day on this: http://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1959

Thanks for the tip and link... that was a good read!!

OK here is with these recommended settings and my first attempt... holy cow that looks really good with no tweaking yet.

extruder A was clear and doing the exterior. extruder B was brown doing infill.

Looks really promising! May be a bit off topic... but could you post some pics of your chimera set up!

For some baseline settings if you need them, I'm running 6mm retract at 50mm/s(ABS), 1mm lift, .1mm coast, 5mm wipe. Under advanced, I do a 8mm tool change retract at 30mm/s and it rarely drules.

The one thing I don't like is if using one nozzle, you should keep the other hot because if it bangs into something, its better to melt rather than loose steps!

I thought the Chimera has one heat block, so both nozzles would be hot. Also, you could use retraction vertical lift if this is a common problem.
