So what program are you using? I compared prints with Cura and Axon , Cura is doing much better. You could write what you use, and send some profiles?

I looked today Cura source , I found something like this: if (flavor == GCODE_FLAVOR_BFB) { //For Bits From Bytes machines, we need to handle this completely differently. As they do not use E values but RPM values. float fspeed = speed * 60; float rpm = extrusion_per_mm * speed * 60; const float mm_per_rpm = 4.0; //All BFB machines have 4mm per RPM extrusion. rpm /= mm_per_rpm; if (rpm > 0) { if (isRetracted) { if (currentSpeed != int(rpm * 10)) { //fprintf(f, "; %f e-per-mm %d mm-width %d mm/s\n", extrusion_per_mm, lineWidth, speed); //fprintf(f, "M108 S%0.1f\r\n", rpm); *output_stream << "M108 S" << std::setprecision(1) << rpm << "\r\n"; currentSpeed = int(rpm * 10); } //Add M101 or M201 to enable the proper extruder. *output_stream << "M" << int((extruderNr + 1) * 100 + 1) << "\r\n"; isRetracted = false; In the file : CuraEngine/src/gcodeExport.cpp Looking at the code Cura has a division at M101 , M201 . Is it possible to add M208 ? I still do not know how to start " preSwitchExtruder.gcode " when I add there a command Cura does not add it to gcode what could be causing this?

Hi I have a similar problem with the printer BFB 3000 , uses the same settings for the second extruder . http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/10546-cura-with-bfb-printers/ can we pull request together?

yellowshark, there can not be set because this command M101 / M201 and M108 / M208 are in the code many times: ;TYPE:SUPPORT M108 S445.6 M101 G1 X14.939 Y15.219 Z0.300 F1500.0 G1 X-15.060 Y15.219 Z0.300 F1500.0 G1 X-15.060 Y-14.780 Z0.300 F1500.0 G1 X14.939 Y-14.780 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X13.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X13.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X10.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X10.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X7.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X7.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X4.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X4.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X1.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X1.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X-1.500 Y15.324 Z0.300 F3000.0 M101 G1 X-1.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F1500.0 M103 G1 X-4.500 Y-14.885 Z0.300 F3000.0 When I type something in addition to preswitchextruder and postswitchextruder Cura does not add this to the code. When I change the code in a file .bfb and I will add the command to change the extruder for the second, further change over all commands M101 , M108 to M201 , M208 - Bfbf 3000 runs on two extruders good. Is it possible to expand Cura to generate a command for the second extruder?

I was able to configure Cura to work with a single extruder ( BFB 3000) . The problem starts when printing on two extruders . BFB 3000 using the command : M104 extruder temperature 1 M204 extruder temperature 2 M101 enable the first extruder M201 inclusion of a second extruder M108 RPM setting for the first extruder M208 RPM setting for the second extruder Where can I change to Cura generate commands for the second extruder M201 , M208 instead of M101 , M108 ?
