Da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix
Is it possible to modify a Da Vinci Duo profile so that I can use simplify3d to print on the jr. 2.0 Mix? Like if I edited the .3w file after it's saved out from simplify3d? Thanks!

I just did a test by using the presets for the Da Vinci Jr. (changed a few settings), saved the .3w to an sd card, and the Da Vinci Jr. 2.0 Mix printed it just fine. Only issue with the Jr. 2.0 Mix is getting it to recognize two extruders/colors. The Jr. 2.0 Mix uses a single nozzle with the filament being fed to a y-split at the top of the extruder. I'm positive that getting this up and running would be a simple matter to add the Jr. 2.0 Mix if:
A) I can get the printer to see two colors
B) It primes the nozzle at the appropriate time - when the printer is switching from one color to the other.
C) Appropriate retraction settings
I'm willing to test any suggestions. I have ThreeDubber.exe and Notepad ++ and a decent understanding of code.

I was able to get it to work with dual extrusion quite nicely.
I used the following (found here: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/15319/th ... jr/page/2/) in the tool change:
/////////////////////////////////////////////
; toolchange script runs post-retraction old_tool's E is <= 0 right now
; don't use S3D's toolchange retraction with this or distances will get messed up
; move new hotend out of the way for cleaning purge
T0 ; move relative to T0
G1 X-32 F6000; move X left for reload
; if we want to purge do this...
;{IF NEWTOOL=0} G1 X-32 F6000; move X left for T0 purge
;{IF NEWTOOL=1} G1 X-32 F6000; move X left for T1 purge
T[old_tool] ; switch back to old/current tool for retraction past splitter
G1 E-100 F6000
; switch to new tool and issue our own restart gcode. S3D's restart length if set will extrude beyond this point
T[new_tool]
G1 E-30 F6000 ; restart (fast most of the way)
G1 E0 F300 ; restart slow last 30mm
; skip purge for now
; G1 E25 F100 ; purge 25mm
; G92 E0 ; reset position to ignore purge length
/////////////////////////////////////////////
I wanted to know if the S3D toolchange retraction bug was ever fixed? Also sorry that the white filament is blown out in the photo..
