Dual extruders

[Eriejeep]

Is their a way to have both extrudes printing at the same time? I am printing multiple parts and it would increase my overall print time if i could activate both extrudes.

Yes it is possible, it's called Ditto printing.

On the LCD screen of the printer you go to - Utilities > General Settings > Ditto Printing.

Thank for the assistance markdirk.

Ditto printing is only for printing duplicates of the same object, and that object cannot be any wider than the distance between the nozzles.

In order to make it work you have to configure your slicer to treat your printer as a single extruder, then choose the ditto option in the firmware.

yep it's on the one with sailfish. But not on the creator x. Which is the right way round as it happens.
Bugger me - had no idea I could do that :-)
Thanks for the info
