Thank you for your reply.
What firmware version is your Qidi running on, mine is running v7.8?
What version of Makerbot are you using, mine is v3.8.11?
What do you exactly mean by "restarting background services in Makerbot"?
I looked with a text editor in the setup-file for the Qidi in Makerbot and it recognizes the right extruder as extruder (0) and the left one as extruder (1) and is setting the selected temperatures correctly in the file. Makerbot seems to not create the correct g-codes (M104_T0/T1) in the build file and as a result, the extruders don't get heated.
Is there a way to look at the actual g-code created by Makerbot?
