Wrong extruder

Yeah... I know... already a thread on this... but that thread seemed to go nowhere. There is definitely problem with S3D and possibly GPX with dual extruder Rep1-like machines. I just connected via USB to my FF (something I only do to upgrade) and brought up the machine control panel. Connected fine and jogged fine. When I set the extruder to T0 the right extruder heated up correctly, when I set the control to T1 the left heated up fine. So... it's not a backwards connection to the controller board.
Then I sliced a cal cube and printed using the Replicator 1 (Left Extruder) presets in the added process. It went to the right extruder (T0) even though the process showed everything pointing to T1.

Thanks for an AWESOME printing app!

Re: Wrong extruder

Did you follow their setup guide for Makerbot printers? You would need to choose the Replicator 1 Dual on the X3G tab of the firmware config.

Re: Wrong extruder

I'm having a similar issue when trying dual material prints. Set right extruder as primary, and left for support but everything prints out of the right extruder. Does you bed at least heat up with your FF? Mine won't even do that.
