Problem with HBP setpoints

I'm running a Flashforge Creator Pro and have encountered a problem I can't seem to figure out. When I add a second temperature setpoint for my HBP while using my left nozzle, my machine will switch to the right nozzle when it gets to the second set point. This doesn't happen when using my right nozzle.

Thanks,

Re: Problem with HBP setpoints

I've had extensive problems with this. It's a combination bug and just quirk of the way the temperature set command works.
You can search the threads for the full descriptions and work arounds but in short...

- temperature set command causes a tool change to T0
- workaround is to add a corresponding temperature set for the same layer on the extruder (you can just keep the same temperature)
- for the workaround to work the extruder must be listed after the hotbed in your temperature controllers so that on that layer the extruder temperature is set after the hotbed is set.

This causes the toolchange to occur to set the hotbed and then it sets again and changes back when it sets the extruder temperature.

Another thing that might work but I haven't tried is to put a toolchange to T1 in the layer switch gcode. That would probably break dual extrusion prints though (which I don't use S3D for anyway I guess)

Did it months ago. Just search/comment and +1 so they're reminded to fix it.
