Thank you so much for your answer, the custom profile is working now ! I tried with and without defining a position for the extruder without any luck. But my real mistake was to use a different ID and filename. I changed and used the same ID/filename and now it's working perfectly, thanks again !! I'm still tweaking the profile a bit, and when I think the quality is good enough I will make a pull request.

Hello everybody, I'm facing a big issue with cura + custom profile and I hope somebody can help me understand what is happening. We have 2 3D printers at work (Makerbot 2X and German Reprap X350 Pro) and we are printing a lot of parts with dual extrusion (material and support). I've discovered recently Cura software and for me it's really the best software I've tried so far. I was using Cura version 2.3.0 Beta and except a small display issue, everything was working very nicely. I made a custom json profile for the X350 printer with dual extruder and I had very nice prints. Then I upgraded to v2.3.0 final and now it's impossible to use my custom profile anymore. I compared it to the new dual extrusion profile for the ultimaker3 and it seems very similar. I think I narrowed down the issue to the dual extrusion parameter: The profile is loading fine and I can add my custom printer in cura if I set the "machine_extruder_count" value to 1 in the json file. (but of course the slicing will fail) But if I set the "machine_extruder_count" value to 2 (as it should be) the profile loads fine and when I add the custom printer nothing happens, I don't even see the build area in Cura. I see that the custom printer was added, but I cannot select it. I tried adding an ultimaker3 printer and it works fine. I dont understand what is happening and I cannot use cura anymore :( I even tried with the new V2.3.1 today, but still the same. (I'm working on windows 8.1 x64 ) Does anybody have an idea why this is happening ? You can find my custom json files here, I would be very interested to know if this behaviour can be reproduced. Any suggestion will be much appreciated !
