How to control second extruder?
-
I just installed a second hotend&extruder and updated my firmware (RRF on LPC (skr 1.4)) and everything shows up right and I can eat the second hotend, but I don't see anywhere to select the second extruder to extrude or retract filament. What do I do so I can control my second extruder?

@BlueSandbox you need to assign the extruder to a stepper driver, define a second tool and then address the two extruders by the slicer.
This documentations will help:

https://betrue3d.dk/duet-wifi-adding-a-second-extruder/ (second is a bit old, so some syntax may not fit for RRF3, but it's a good documentation) -
I already configured everything, turns out its just t1 to switch the tool back and forth

@BlueSandbox with T0 you select tool 0, with T1 you select tool 1. Most often the slicer does this, and often the T0 is selected at the end of the config.g
