Temperature Setpoints Defeating Tool Change Script

I have a dual extruder setup, and I'm trying to implement standby temperatures so that the currently inactive extruder is set to a standby temperature (170). I'm close, but I'm running into a conflict with the per layer temperature setpoints.

Here's my per layer temperature setpoints.

And here's my tool change script.

And here's the generated gcode at the beginning of layer 2.

Code: Select all

G92 E0.0000
G1 E-1.0000 F1800
; process Color1
; layer 2, Z = 0.380
M106 S255
M104 S190 T0
M104 S190 T1
; feature ooze shield
; tool H0.200 W0.400
G1 Z0.380 F1002
G1 X95.609 Y133.100 F4800
G1 E0.0000 F1800
G92 E0.0000
G1 X89.400 Y126.891 E0.2599 F3600
G1 X89.400 Y78.109 E1.7039
The tool change code works fine on all layers *except* for layer 2, where the temperature setpoint code appears to override the tool change script. I tried adding a layer change script to set the temperature, and it works, but it changes the temperature before the setpoint, and then the setpoint just changes it back.

Does anyone know how to get this working?

Thanks,
Steve

Re: Temperature Setpoints Defeating Tool Change Script

I'm sure we can help you with this. Can you attach your factory file or show the lay set points for the right extruder as well? I don't see a tool change taking place in the cod you've shown so I'm not sure why you're saying it's overriding your toolchange script.
