Cannot slice ... assigned to a disabled extruder

Posted · Cannot slice ... assigned to a disabled extruder

I have the BIBO Pro.  I have red in one nozzle and black in the other.  I have printed a model fine, but if I attempt to print it on nozzle 2 the software won't slice.  The complaint is out of the print area or 'assigned to a disabled extruder.' Since I'm printing the model with nozzle one, it's not out of the build area and the error only occurs when I disable nozzle one and enable nozzle two.  The error message says to enable a nozzle.  I have enabled number 2, but it isn't recognized.

 

How would it know (or care) which nozzle it's using?  Assuming the fix is probable how it's configure, what do I need to change?

 

-------------------

 

I think this is a bug.  I've set the active nozzle to 2, exited the program.  Invoked the program, nozzle two is active and the slicer works properly.  Just can't change them when it's running.

    Hi,

    if a model is loaded into Cura, it's automatically assigned to extruder 1 by default.

    If you want to print it with extruder 2, you have to mark it and select extruder 2 on the left sided menu (lowest icon).

    Regards

    Thanks... But it will not slice if I change the nozzle while the software is running.  It did slice by setting the nozzle to two then closing and re-opening the program.  When the code was run on the BIBO, it seemed OK heating nozzle two, but never would extrude any filament during the movement of the nozzle head.  I know the nozzle is working.  Have not looked into the gcode to see if I could see what it was or wasn't doing. Thanks for the help... :_)

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
