Many thanks,
Struggled a persuading the parts to be from different nozzles, but got there in the end. "Mark" had me confused but again, experiment got results.I really am very grateful, I'm now a great deal further forward.

Oh thank you! Thank you for taking the time to point me in the right direction.
OK downloaded the "Mesh" and "Printer Settings", Synced and restarted. downloaded the model, Left click, - mesh tools - Split the model. But it still has the colour of PETG , extruder 1
Right you are going to think me dumb, but...how do I follow your example and assign the gasket to extruder 2? -
Cura V5.0, this is the first version I have been able to print anything at all. I'm now hooked!
My printer is a dual head, so naturally I want to use both heads, a broken jar lid seemed to be a way to use the "Interlocking structure" to attach a TPU gasket to a PETG lid.
1. Created the model in Fusion 360 with the gasket as a separate body.
2. Exported as STL file
3. Cura shows the model as one material. The software I have been using until now, based on cura, has a "split objects" command, and a "merge objects" command, to assign a print head to each part.
How do I do this in Cura 5.0?

Hi Guys,
I did realise this was old but I am desperate to try and get my Mankati printer going. I was hoping the originator would be able to help.
CURA, I have tried to set the mankati set up as a new printer but it produces incredibly slow prints. 19 hrs for a print a similar machine completes in under an hour. The print head moves, stops, waits 20-30 seconds (enough to melt the substrate), prints, stops, waits and melts, and so on.
I'm stuck with a printer that I have spent hours and hours on fixing the mechanical problems, but I cannot produce satisfactory detailed prints.
Any help would be appreciated, please bear in mind I have not worked out what to do with plug ins yet.

Hi,
Thank for the work to do this as I want to use Cura with my XT Plus. The newer versions of Cura show the printer with only 1 print head. Do you know how to make this a dual head definition?
I know nothing about the code required, but if you can give me a heads up, I'll have a go.

I have just downloaded 4.2.1, but when I open it and go to the Mankati, Profile, there is only 1 print head, mine has 2 heads. Anybody got any ideas what I have done wrong?

Hi, New to this forum, but I have been mucking about with various ways of sticking/holding ABS, ASA, PETG, I do use PLA occasionally.
Dimafix-I have 2 glass beds that are unusable as it pulled chips of glass out of the beds when printing PETG.
I only use dimafix on a non-pourous tape. Masking tape, Kapton, 80°C to 100 no cooling, heat till end
PVA Liquid Glue, diluted 50/50 with clean water, I use a squeegee to get a smooth coat, left to dry, then print ABS, PETG 80°C to 100 no cooling.
One trick I have learned is to watch the first layers, if they start to lift, a drop of acetone at the edge, runs under the print and seems to stick the print down.

Thanks Greg, I had not spotted those!
Jumped in feet first, bought an ex demonstrator dual head and it worked really well, I thought. Same printer, Cura 5.3 Beta, and the results were far, far better! Hence my newbie questions.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me out.
