[Auto inserted M104 T0 S0 during print with dual extrusion.]

At last, I've found the solution : there are two versions of Cura json files for the A10M. One of them doesn't works for me.

 

The good one is on Geeetech forum:

There are some changes to make in Cura Machine Settings : size of the printer setting is wrong, change the width, depth and height (X 235 Y 235 Z 260. And in Left and Right extruders tab: Size nozzle 0.4 and material 1.75 mm.

 

In Cura all the G-code is in the Printer tab. Extruders tabs are empty. And it works fine even for the prime tower. I think I'll need to configure its size for a better purge but it is already a big improvement.

 

In Start G-code, I've added G-code for drawing two straight lines before beginning printing and in End G-code to bring the bed at the front for easy removal of the print.

 

Here is my Start G-code

Hope it will help some users. If someone want the explanation in French, let me know.

No result, still the same as before.

I'm thinking to try reinstalling json files or look at Marlin firmware.

For the moment I'll take a break and print only with one color at a time. 

I'll come back if I find a solution.

Thank you I'll try that.

A skirt is only for the first layer so the problem isn't solved for the purge betwen colors in higher layers...

I'll tell you later if your solution works for the gcode for the A10M.

I use Cura 3.6.0

Here is my configuration :

With the 1rst extruder all is correct, the prints are perfect.

But when I want to print with 2 colors, after printing the 1rst color the nozzle stay in place for several seconds, doesn't move to the prime tower and, before beginning the 2nd color of the model, the temperature fall (in the LCD screen to 175°) so the extrusion isn't hot enough for the 2nd color.
I've tried to put some M104 instructions in some places but with no result...

 

Thanks for your help !

I have the same problem with my Geeetech A10M (one nozzle two extruders). It's very frustrating, I cannot print a bicolor model with Cura.

My printer works in bicolor models in Repetier-Host using Cura profile where the gcode is situated in one place for both the printer and the extruders. The dual extruder is configurable (one nozzle for 2 extruders), while in Cura this configuration doesn't exist....
