Hi all

Looking for help with printing with the two extruders. I tryed using the dual extruder wizard and the normal print profiles but unsucessful. When i use the dual extrusion wizard it assumes i am using the second extruder for support and if i use the normal profiles the preview of the part becomes deformed. Here are some pictures:

Any thoughts?
Also if anyone could share some print profiles, i would be very thankfull
By the way, my printer is Leapfrog HS

Regards
JS

AHHH This is actually correct!!!! :D :D

That's the Ooze Shield that is printed around the part to catch any ooze dripping from the unused nozzle. If you go to Edit Process Settings-->Additions and disable the Ooze Shield you'll see your part is being sliced correctly. I would recommend running the print as is to verify this!

Thanks for your help.

You are correct, if I remove the ooze option the part looks fine.
I am unable to do a print to confirm but i am positive that was the issue.
