· Weird additional retraction of second extruder
I am not sure on how to modify/edit a post so I will add some additional information in this reply.
After reading my post I think the problem is not exactly specified 😕
The weird thing is, that I have to do a manual retract (30-45mm) of the model material at the beginning to prevent it from blocking the support material. After the first layer it does an additional (unnecessary) retraction in the heat zone length. But when it comes to printing with model material it only pushes the 1x the heat zone length into the extruder which is not enough as he did an additional 45mm retract after the first layer.
So I need to get rid of the unnecessary retraction after layer one or make cura to move it to the start, so I can remove my own start gcode...
Thanks a lot
Jan
