Process #2 starts too early.

Hi,

I wanted to print a black piece with white text.

For this I defined a custom zone from height 0 to 2 mm for the right nozzle (black, process #1) and a zone from 2 mm for the left nozzle (white, process #2).

I defined extruder temperature for both nozzles.

But: the printer only started raising the temperature of the white nozzle when the printing of the text started.
When the target temperature was reached, the text had long since been "printed" (that is, the white plastic of course just made a mess.

How do I make printing in process #2 wait until its nozzle has reached working temperature?

Please find attached the factory file.

Re: Process #2 starts too early.

You can use the Cooldown Extruder While Idle settings in the Temperature tab of the process. One of the settings defines the amount of time before the next tool change to start heating the nozzle.
