So uh, my Taz 6 dual extruded like this, even though the model looks like this?

Used the dual extrusion wizard.

Set up for Taz 6 Dual.

Slicer looks like this:

Print ended up doing layers like this:

Obviously, this is not correct.

Suggestions? How do I correct the location of the second extruder relative to the first?

It's in the process settings under the output tab. The section entitled : "Toolhead Offsets"

Ok, well the offset is there correctly (50 mm), but it seems it's not being applied?

Typically you set the toolhead offsets in the firmware. Have you already done that?

Using the official Lulzbot Dual Extruder Firmware.

Now that I think about it. I'm wondering if it thinks I have the new Dual v3. I have the old V2.

EDIT: The firmware is correct. Still having an issue with the printer. It's just not applying the offset.

EDIT 2: I've checked the box that says "Modify output coordinates using toolhead offsets." and the issue has been resolved. Models look funky in the slicer now, but the prints come out fine. Probably not the fix? But it works, for now.
