Dual X-axis purging over part
Hi,
short intro: I do have a highly modified CR10 printer which
got now a complete new, selfmade X-axis with two print heads.
I already did some working repetier configurations (Version
1.0.3) in the past, but now it is my first time with dual-x mode.
First: Print heads and offsets are calibrated and working.
The only thing I am really struggling is the firmware behaviour at tool changes.
--> the new tool is always directly moving to the old tool
position by firmware. I cannot influence that by gcode. This is for sure very
bad if I want to purge the new tool before printing. This purging action will be done than directly at the position of the old tool...not good ![]()
I'd like to purge the new tool at parking position (similar
to BCN3d sigma printer) bevor it does any move at all. Am I too silly to see
that option? I am in fact a bit desperate because normally I am getting this
small issues solved flawlessly ![]()
Is my problem clearly described? According my understanding I
cannot solve it via a tool change script because the firmware is forcing the
new tool to old position of old tool before he is reading the next gcode lines.

Set it to 1 for lazy mode. Then it will move to position with first extrusion and otherwise stay at park position.
You might want to upgrade to 1.0.4dev which has some improvements here.
--> So, I figured out that I have to add the line manually into the configuration.h (I pasted it right under #define DUAL_X_AXIS 1)
Would be cool to directly implement this option as standard I guess?
