Dual Extrusion wizard with 3 extruders

[joestefano]

Back with 3.1.1 in the release notes S3D boasted that they made the Dual Ex Wizard work with 3 extruders. Anyone know how they changed it to work with 3 extruders??? It looks the same to me.

I have a 3-extruder printer and I wasn't able to use it at all with the dual extrusion wizard in 3.1.0. So it definitely changed for me! Now I can do dual extrusion by using the wizard, selecting my printer as the "Base Profile", and then picking the extruders I want to use for the parts from the drop downs.

It works if you only use 2 of the 3 extruders. How do you use the wizard to use all 3 extruders? It would be great if they added a 3rd selection window.

Well that wouldn't be "dual" extrusion anymore

True. Maybe they could call it "Multi Extrusion Wizard"??? Still don't have an answer for how they made it easier to use 3 extruders.

Read my post above. The Dual Extrusion Wizard in 3.1.0 did not work with 3-extruder printers AT ALL. They wouldn't show up as an option at all.

In 3.1.1+ you can choose a 3-extruder printer, and then you just pick which 2 extruders you want to use for the dual extrusion print. So considering you couldn't use it at all in 3.1.0, that's definitely an improvement!
