Thanks for this post. I was able to get Cura working for dual color printing and it is so much better than Flashprint. Does anyone know how to set it up for Duplicate or Mirror mode printing? Inspecting the start code from Flash print, it looks like M118 changes to add a D1, but I can't find much more info about it.Β It would be nice to be able to print duplicate parts simultaneously.

Can these settings be trusted as the build volume is 200 x 148 x 150 for this printer

Hello everybody!Β
I'm new in this forum and just start to print with my T-rex dual extruder from Bresser. This printer is the exact copy of creator pro. I try your settings in Cura. and add the gx plugin (t-rex only read .gx). File is well recognize by the printer but it tells me there is an error with the file without any explanation. Maybe there is something wrong with the settings?... see attached my printer settings in cura 5.2.1.
Thanks for your help, very appreciate !
@Re-Brass
I have the same Bresser T-Rex2, ie the Flashforge Creator Pro 2.
But seems the firmware has been tweaked by Bresser as the Flashprint software will not connect viaΒ the serial port.
In the screenshot with your Start G-code you have:
M132XYZAB
which should be:
M132 X Y Z A B
At the End G-Code the
G28 XY
Should be:
G28 X Y
I would also go for the safer X (width) of 200mm

Can you share your details how to make the dual colour printing working?
Are you using multiple printer profiles?
I can print with either extruder, in single extruder mode, but when printing in dual colour the extruders try to "home" in the same corner and collide.
How do you set it up such that the left extruder will "home"Β in its left home position and the right extruder in the right home position?

Many thanks Bressy!
Did you set any nozzle offset for the extruder nΒ°2? I have 0.0mm for now. And I don't know if my head printing parameters are correct...
Thanks for your help, very appreciated!
@Re-Brass
I have the same extruder settings as in your pictures, ieΒ offset X/Y = 0 for both extruders.
We need to be careful that we are talking about the same machine
I understandΒ the following:
Β
BRESSER T-REX WLAN = Flashforge Creator Pro
Β Β Having a single head dual extruder and a Print Volume of 227*148*150mm
BRESSER T-REXΒ² = Flashforge Creator Pro 2
Β Β Having 2 separate heads (IDEX), and a Print Volume of 200*148*150mm
Mine is the BRESSER T-REXΒ²
Β
I have a t-rex wlan dual but not idea. I tested a print with a -34mm offset for the 2nd extruder. It is working. But sometimes I get the same error (unable to print the content of the file) . When it's working, I see my print with its supports on the screen of the t-rex. When not working, I see the same print without supports. Is there a limitation regarding the settings I can put with Cura and the ones my printer is able to do?

I have a Flash Forge Creator Pro 2 (actually I have 4 of them).
The settings at the top of this page cause the machine to properly home into the stops (back, right corner; bed max height). But then the print head travels x and y in the opposite direction until crashing. It's not making any Thanks.
I strongly suspect the problem is with the part "origin at center".Β I don't think that should be checked.Β Normally that is only checked for delta printers.Β and the behavior matches.Β Because cura will be sending out negative X and Y positions which would indeed make it crash in the front left corner.
Β
If that's not it then I would use flash forge slicer and look at the resulting gcode file and compare it to the start gcodes and look up each gcode that is different (I'd just look them all up).Β You only have to look at the very beginning - the first 30 or so gcodes.
Β
I guess another question is "does it crash before or after this command":
G1 Z50.000 F420
Β
The above moves the Z axis only and puts the Z position to 50 so the bed would be 50mm from the nozzle.Β then the very next move should move all 3 axes at once to the front left bottom corner.
Β
Hey.
Β
I've found tons of links about disabling the "power loss recovery" mode on marlin, but how'd I do it on griffin?
M413 was the suggested gcode.
Thank you plenty
griffin is a version of Marlin and accepts almost all the same gcodes a few exceptions but "power loss recovery" sounds like a "new" feature (maybe 5 years ago?) in Marlin that I don't believe exists in any of the UM printers.

What file type does the creator pro 2 need? Do I check the box which says apply extruder offsets to G-code? And should it be origin at centre or not?

I was able to fix the setup in Cura, but have another issue.
My Flashforge Creator Por IDEX does not recognize the files converted to X3G files. They won't show?
Any advice on this?
