Dual Extrusion - Script Hooks and Triggers

[Kiko Lobo]

So I am printing an object that has dual extruder requirements.

I am using a Sigma printer.

My question is that the profiles I download have an end script and a start script. When I run the wizard and select the factory profiles I get some custom scripts on each process. Like start script and end script.

Since I am running both processes one with one extruder and the other with the other one, my question is.. When do the scripts run?

Will each process run its own script? Like when the second process starts will it run the start script?

When the first process ends will it run its end of process script? or tool change script?

Just need to know to see how this affects my print. If the end script runs when the first process ends, then it will shut down the extruders and the bed heat.. Not good... This should happen at the very end of the print not at the middle.

Any info welcomed!

The ending script only runs at the very end of the print. Same with the starting script - only at the very beginning.

So if you use 3 processes for your print, you will still only have 1 starting script and 1 ending script. I recommend using the same script for all your processes to make sure the correct one is used (it's really easy to do anyways with grouped processes).

Thanks for the info. This clears up a lot of things!

I think the scripts are normal G-Code and M-Code.
