G-Code double extruder

Good Morning

Let's see if you can solve this problem.
I have a printer with Double Extruder, and I would like it to do some shifting between one extruder and another. The problem is that I do not clarify with G. Codes.

I summarize what I want to do.

I want the extruder 1 to stop printing on the part and before making the extruder change (from 1 to 2) before it goes to the preparation pillar or Drip Shield:
  
       - The Dual Hotend is positioned in a certain area of ​​the hot table outside the piece.

       - Extruder 1 is cooled to a temperature that I program with the code, (example 170 °), and the Extruder 2 begins to heat to the printing temperature, (example 210 °).

 Once this is done, the next step is to go to (the stack or the shield) for the subsequent purging of the extruder and continue the printing. That's all the time until I finish doing the piece.
If you would put the codes and where I should put them I would appreciate it. I imagine that I would have to put them in the section (Scripts change of head), and you will comment me. If there is something that I must put or modify, you will tell me


Thank you

Re: G-Code double extruder

All you want is not needed.

The perfect dual extrusion is only possible with a single nozzle extrusion system.

If you cooldown a nozzle that have a blob .... you can explode the print if the carriage move. All the nozzles have to be hot

It's impossible to make a perfect dial print with two nozzles separated. The second nozzle will dirty the surface wiped.

I have all tried many year. Now i have my single nozzle system and i don't need shield . I just use the zlift and the pillar.

Good

Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking of changing into a nozzle with a single nozzle and feeds with the two filaments, (I send the link so you can see it and tell me what you think of this system).
