Has anyone bought the dual filament kit from seemecnc? I have it installed and have been playing around with it. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it yet.
I'm not entirely sure how to tweak the settings for filament switching.

Re: 2 Filament Kit
looks like a poor mans prometheus dual extrusion kit. I hadn't seen it before to day. You're looking for the "retraction on tool change" setting.

I have been playing with that but there is switching code hard coded into the firmware build.

The Bowden feeds to the splitter which is a few inches from the hotend. The tool change code retracts the filament before the splitter and then advances the other filament to the hotend.

Re: 2 Filament Kit
You can alter the tool change gcode by changing the following lines in Configuration.h:
Code: Select all
#define EXT0_SELECT_COMMANDS "M117 Extruder 0\nT0\nM84 P4\nG91\nG1E172F6000\nG1E5F500\nG90"
#define EXT0_DESELECT_COMMANDS "G91\nG1E-180F6000\nG90"
#define EXT1_SELECT_COMMANDS "M117 Extruder 1\nT1\nM84 P4\nG91\nG1E172F6000\nG1E5F500\nG90"
#define EXT1_DESELECT_COMMANDS "G91\nG1E-180F6000\nG90"
