Is there a way for UMS5 to use second nozzle support for support interface only?

Hi,

 

I don't know if this has been asked before or not.

 

I am having good luck with 5.7 Beta and use of the tree supports.

 

One thing I wanted to know is if there is a way the second extruder can be used to ONLY generate the support interface material?

Using PVA or Breakaway works great but the speed of the print suffers greatly using the second nozzle for these things.

 

My thought is that using the PVA or Breakaway only in the interface would gain the benefits of those materials AND help keep the print time as short as possible.

 

I don't know about other machines but with my Ultimaker S5's, this would be a real product boost on prints needing complex supports.

Set Support > Support Infill Extruder to the first extruder while leaving Support Extruder as the second extruder.

 

I'm close, but wrong. See @GregValiant's answer below.

Ah interesting.  I'll have to test that out.

 

Maybe in a future update they can better name it "Support Interface Extruder"   😀

It shall be as you command sire.

 

  You must enable the Support Interfaces or the settings will be hidden.
