[Ultimaker Original Dual Extrusion] Extruder 1 doesn't extrude during prints

[CaptainJack42 0]

Hey everyone,

 

i recently got a used UMO dual extrusion for cheap and took it as an opportunity to get into 3D printing, so i'm still quite new to the whole topic. So far it was a bumpy road, but i got most things to work. Currently i'm trying to print with the second extruder, later on i want to try printing using both extruders, but currently i just want to be able to print in different colors without the need of swapping the filament. The problem is that as soon as the print starts the extruder will just not move anymore, i can extract filament via the Terminal and also using Octoprints Control UI, it will also execute the extrusion and retraction at the very beginning of the print, but as soon as it should start printing the extruder won't move at all anymore. I also think i know what the Problem is, i took a look at the GCODE (see below) and found that after the gcode switches to Tool 0 (in line 6) it doesn't switch back to Tool 1 ever.

Even if i disable Extruder 1 in Cura completely it'll still swap to Extruder 1 in the gcode and not swap back. So i guess my question is, is there any way to fix this? Is it even possible printing only with Extruder 2?

 

Cheers and thx for the help in advance ✌️
