Trouble with Dual Extruders on Taz 5 in Simplify3D
Posted this on the S3D forum but they have the silly first posts are hidden "feature".
Got my Flexi-Dualie yesterday and loaded it up with orange and white ABS.
I went through the set up by Lulz using slicr and pronterface and measuring the squares' centering. They are centerd to within .01mm (closest I can measure with digital calipers). Insane method if you ask me. So, I presumed I would be good to go in S3D.
Not so much.
I put this in the start Gcode for both orange and white processes..
Code:G28 ; home all axes M218 T1 X0.685 Y-51.705 ; Offset for Second Extruder Head
At first, I thought it might be because I had it in two processes it was doubling. That can't be as the offset is clearly not 51+mm in the X. The maximum distance appears to be at about 11'oclock so its not 45deg off nor uniformly off in both X and Y.
So, whats wrong and what did I do incorrectly? And, more importantly, how do I fix this to get it to line up? I guess I could make a square model that has a few layers of each color on top of each other (like the cone) but that seems wasteful of filament.
Printer will print perfect...
