Brand new purchaser and user of a S3 getting used to this machine.  So far, excellent results with the Ultimaker Tough PLA supplied with the machine.  What I don't seem to see anywhere is how to instruct the machine to print support structures with the PVA (extruder head #2) and the part with Tough PLA (Extruder head #1).  Is this possible?  Seems possible.

    That's pretty simple to do. I've made some screenshots:

    With my amazing paint skills, I've added a circle around the button that lets you select with what extruder to print the support.

    Thanks!  That makes perfect sense.  

     

    Just starting to work with this machine.  Didn't want to break it so soon.  Thought I'd ask first until I got a little more comfortable using it.

        In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
