Choose Printhead

[aquaticslive 0]

I have been playing around with my second printhead trying to get it calibrated better. I can't seem to find a place to choose just that printhead to print from. I have always used another Slicer for testing, but with dual supported on Cura think I may be missing something obvious.

Anybody have a tricks to print with head #2 only?

Welcome to the UM forum

Yes, there is something missing in Cura in order to be able to switch to the second extruder for a single extruder print. But it can be done with https://github.com/Dim3nsioneer/Cura-Plugins/wiki/Select-Extruder-pluginplugin.

Thanks, saw there a a similar post too.

Been trying the plugins, but something in wrong with version 15, so rolled it back to 14.09 and got it generate for only one printhead with the plugin.

No doubt a dumb question but I cannot work out how to copy this file. I can display the code in various ways in github but cannot find a .py file that in Windows I can right click and select "copy". Help please :oops:

@yellowshark: Please go to the Wiki page with the link above and use the download link (right click) there...

@AquaticsLive: So you got it running?

Thanks Dim3nsioneer, that is what I did (plus other things as well) It does not work for me; when I right click on 15.01(download here) I get an IE menu box with Copy & Cut disabled and if you use the "save tartget as.." you just end up with a text file not a .py file

Strange. I just succeeded to download the file by right-clicking and selecting 'save target as...' with the IE10. It might be a restriction of your browser installation.

btw: what about using a reasonable browser such as Firefox, Safari or Chrome?

 

[yellowshark 153]

Lol; Chrome? too invasive, Safari? thought that was apple, firefox? been there done that.

OK as I am in the right place I will do some searching, not quite sure what is doing it but sure I will find it! Thanks
