Two heads features

[chrislm72]

Hello,

I use Simplify3D with a BCN3D Sigma printer.
Here are some new features I would like to find in a future release of simplify 3D.

1) two heads different speed
I sometimes print PLA + Ninjaflex.
Currently, I reduce the speed for both (PLA and Ninjaflex).
I would like to print PLA at 3000 mm/sec and Ninjaflex at 1850 mm/sec.
May you add a print speed for each head ?

2) two heads different filling methods
I sometimes print PLA + Ninjaflex.
Currently, I use the same filling method for both.
I would like to chose the methods. PLA 20%, rectangular and Ninjaflex 100% (or less )
May you add a print filling method for each head ?

3) accurate printing time with two heads
When you estimate the printing time, he is wrong when you need to switch heads.
It's just because you didn't estimate the "switching time"
May you add a "Switching heads time" value to have a more accurate printing time with two heads

Thanks
Christophe

For #1 and #2, I usually just use two processes. So the first process prints the PLA part, while the second prints the ninjaflex. Then you can customize the speeds and infill percentages for each process. They actually let you customize anything you want using this method, so it works pretty well

I usually use one process with two heads, and I never had the idea to create two processes.
With your solution I have to use 2 processes with one head in each.
I'll try it tonight.

So #3 is stil open... (time calculation with head switching).
