I would like to print in dual extrusion mode with PLA in extruder #1 and Flexible PLA in extruder #2. But the two materials require different parameters (slow print speed and no retraction for flexible PLA).
Is there any option in Cura to have fully independent settings for each extruder ?
May be that can be done with a custom plugin ?
Frederic.
At the moment the only truly extruder independent setting in Cura is the temperature setting. This might change
- with the new GUI to come
- with the introduction of an UM2 dual extruder.
Or it might not. Cura is not supposed to offer equally detailed options such as e.g. Slic3r.
A plugin could do the job. Please feel free to write one and to share it if you like... :-)
