The screen that you captured and embedded in your post just lists the extruders, it does not select which is to be used in the upcoming print. The "Layer" tab on the left of the middle row allows you to select the primary extruder to be used in the upcoming print. If you use the "Auto Configure Extruders" selection on the upper right, it will configure the Layer extruder selection as well.

What was wrong with it? So far I've had one roll of MG ABS "sassy silver" bubble and sputter a bit as it came out of the nozzle. I had never had that happen previously with any filament. Told them and immediately got a replacement roll. Unfortunately the second roll did the same darn thing, maybe to a slightly lesser degree. After some testing, they both seem to print OK, so I am ignoring it for now, but they both still bubble and abruptly shift the direction that they are extruded from the nozzle.

I attended a Maker Fair in Silver Spring Maryland earlier today. I've never been to one before. It was primarily oriented toward exciting the interests of children in STEM, but there were over a dozen 3D printers there. About half were MakerBot variants, the remainder were Kossel Rep Rap, Prusa I3 or similar, Taz, Afinia, Tarantula, and several scratch built machines. Most were printing away. Saw some PETG prints, that material appeared very similar to, but a lot more flexible than MG Crystal PLA. And about a thousand kids with little robots or grippers or airplanes etc. I was hoping to find some other 3D printing enthusiasts in or really near Annapolis, but no joy.

If that's the case, any guess what it means if I'm working with the left extruder (as specified on the left)? I thought since that's in the non-advanced config that would be basically a quick-set default and I would be modifying it from there.
...also, does anyone ever lubricate their Qidi? And if so, where? Just the central Z-rod or are there other spots?
