Just select "Both Extruders" for the auto-configure extruders option and then go to the Temperature tab and edit the temperatures for the left and right extruders as needed.

You can then select what extruder is used for the part, raft, support, etc. It's all in the process settings.

Have a look at this thread....if you haven't already. It explains every setting in the print profile...some in great detail.

And it's easy to find....at the top of the General Discussions section of the forum!

I learned a lot just from watching their youtube series, so I would suggest starting there

They also have many articles on their website that explain some of these topics (like multi-model printing and dual-extrusion)
