Hello!

I believe this feature should be included ASAP. It is awful for the ones that we have 3D printers with the IDEX system (each extruder travelling and working independently, letting the inactive one in a rest-place), to NOT BEING ABLE to set up different cooling settings per each extruder.

This put a critical limit to the use of this IDEX system as you can't combine different materials propperly.
For example: if you want to combine ABS and PLA in the same part with IDEX system, you can't do that because you are forced to set up the cooling settings for one of them. Everyone knows the big difference in the fan speed settings between ABS and PLA, so being unable to set it up differently per each extruder makes it impossible to use both materials in the same print regardless having the IDEX system.

Please change the "Cooling Tab" so it works more likely the "Temperature Tab" in which you can set up different settings per each extruder.

Thank you!

Waiting for that as well!!!!

Is it possible to use a workaround by using two different print processes, one for extruder1 and the other for extruder2 ?

Same here. I have a Sigmax and I want to print PLA with PVA. PVA needs almost no Fan.

I learned through my pre configured Sigma files, generated by Sigma Progen Tool, that you can change actually exact behaviour for each extruder.
Go to FFF Settings -> Scripts -> Tool Change Script

Mine looks like this:

I don't want to seem like a complete idiot (because I'm still working on the complete part) but does the tool change script replace the existing code? Should it be placed after the existing code or prior to it?

This is the answer I've been thinking about ever since I started using PVA and learned that cooling may be the primary difficulty I've had with it.

At the moment I can't seem to get Tool 1 Fan to turn on.. Tool 0 turns on.. but not tool 1 unless I do it thru the printers panel.. Go to Tune, then Fan2 and then its ok.. I'm not even turning on the heat to Tool 0..
