Today I was doing my first dual extrusion job. It's a piece that is printed one half one filament the other another filament color.

I set two processes. One starts at 0 and ends at 50% the size and the other starts at 50% and ends T 100%.

The process works ok, but the temprerature in the second extrusor is set to 0 when it becomes active. Even though the temperature in the process is set correctly.

When the time comes the second tool starts to work at the right moment but no filament comes out because of the temperature issue.

Is there a setting I am missing or something?

It would probably help if you posted your factory file and said what printer you are using

I am using a Sigma from BCN3D.

I don't see a way to attach file?


Could it be the GCODE that it's automatically inserted for the start process?
