This is the gcode I've pieced together from various sources & got working. I have to set up each extruder as a separate printer. So I can use the left or the right but no dual extrusion. With the X3GWriter plugin by Ghostkeeper cura will output x3g.

I use the same end gcode for both extruders
M73 P100 ; end build progress
M140 S0 ; set bed temperature to 0
M104 S0 T0 ; set extruder temperature to 0
M104 S0 T1 ; set extruder temperature to 0
G92 E1
G1 E-5 F300
G28 X Y F2500 ; home X and Y axes
M18 ; disable all stepper motors
M70 P5 (We <3 Making Things!)
M72 P1 ; Play Ta-Da song
Hope this helps some of you.
