Prime pillar/ooze shield not being applied to both extruders

[Tobin]

I'm using a Taz 5 with dual extruder, for which there does not appear to be a dual extrusion configuration available for the wizard. Nonetheless I've gone through the process of calibration and adding multiple processes manually-- and everything works, except or the fact that the prime pillar and ooze shield settings aren't working as intended.

If I have a two-part, multi-material print in which the second part doesn't start printing until about 2/3 of the way in (due to vertical distance-- think stacked cylinders), the prime pillar and ooze shield settings don't seem to apply to the second extruder until several layers after the second part's printing begins. Despite the fact that prime pillar/ooze shield are set to "All extruders" in both processes.

This is also a problem because the second extruder/material is being used as a support material for the first part, which results in failed prints. The time between model/support tool changes is great enough that without priming the support extruder, the supports inevitably fail to print correctly.

Is there a way to force prime pillar and/or ooze shield for both extruders after each tool change, no matter what part of the model is being printed?

I would recommend emailing [email protected] to see if they have a profile. Using the Dual Extrusion Wizard makes things much easier.

Hi Tobin,

any luck? im having similar issues - my ooze shield and prime pillar are completely missing for the second process/extruder when I tell it to only "start printing from 'x'mm. pretty pointless considering that's when I actually need them.

Based on other things I've read, you sound like you might have an older version of S3D, the new version does not seem to create an ooze shield, pillar or skirt for processes that begin above the bed.

Does this sound right to others? and does anyone have a solution for printing multi-process prints with an ooze shield or pillar?
