Printer Flasforge Dreamer: I had problems with dual extruder print.
But in version 3.0 it works very well, this is a huge improvement.
Please let me know what someone else experiences

YES!!! Made things much easier. I went from having to setup two processes, (change the infill, layer extruder choices for each), then using the select models button to just using the Dual Extrusion Wizard AND it has Ooze Shield now.
Definitely helped with my Dreamer prints.

I was excited to see this feature but they don't have a profile for the Taz 5 with dual extruder option yet, just the stock single. So I will still have to set it up manually.

Yeah I was hoping I'd be able to just turn on dual extrusion myself. I have a ... highly customized TAZ4 - auto bed leveling, custom dual extruder using a single stepper motor, all sorts of stuff. But no dual extrusion wizard. :C

I'm guessing that's because LulzBot doesn't sell an off-the-shelf model that has 2 extruders. It has to be an additional upgrade.
Either way, you can always email the S3D support guys. I'm sure they could setup the profile for you.

I thought I had S3D configured correctly to use with the dual extruder, but S3D seems to disregarding my 2nd extruder offset. I'm able to get everything else to work, it just puts the second extruder parts 52 mm away in the y-axis.

The dual extrusion in V3.0 is amazing!
Before it was totally nothing with S3D and Makerbot Desktop was way better, but now it is completely the other way.
The way S3D handels the color change with the tiny walls around the object is superb.
No colors flowed in each other, just a perfect print with smooth colors.
Great Job!
