[SOLVED] Cost Estimates Off!

[jadonmmiller]

First of all, thanks everyone for the valuable information here! I bought S3D somewhere around 2 weeks ago, and I'm loving it!

However, when printing with the left extruder on my Creator Pro, the cost estimations are significantly off. When I print with the right, the costs are dead-on.

When the settings are auto-configured for the right extruder in the attached file, it estimates $0.32 (correct), when configured for the left, it estimates $1.02 (incorrect). The filament usage and plastic weight stays the same. My filament-specific settings (price, density, and diameter) also stay the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You have very different diameters and pricing for each toolhead. Go to the Other tab and select Tool 0 from the filament properties menu. You have a cost of 14.83 entered for tool 0. But then when you select Tool 1, your cost is 46.00. So you need to make sure the cost for each tool is set correctly.

Thanks! I didn't know that the filament settings were tool specific. That explains the under-extrusion I've been having on the left extruder. My filament diameter was set incorrectly.
