Thanks everyone for your help, I wanted to do this last night, I am gonna try set this up tonight. Thanks for the input, I think those commands should be fine, the fan is not the biggest issue, just the heater and the extruder.
Will provide feedback soon!
@dc42 Thanks for the response, so then I don't need to do multiple heads in CURA, as long as I combine all the extruder drivers into one tool on Duet Firmware? My only concern would be to stop a failed hot end nozzle including its extruder, during the process should this happen, without stopping the entire print. This I would want to do on the paneldue? On the console perhaps?
@sebkritikel Thank appreciate it, will check it out, I wanted to keep the tools separate so you could switch an extruder off if a jam or something happens.
I have checked in Cura, still trying to load a single part that is multiplied across the four tools, because the offsets are fixed, DQEX is probably a better system, I have two independent X-axis each with two nozzles at a fixed distance from each other, and the Two X-axis are at a fixed offset in the Y-axis.
@MaracMB I know this is an old post, but taking a chance, currently building a DQEX or IQEX. Very similar to this, a modified E5 Plus printer, is there a way of activating all 4 extruders and nozzles at once? Or will this be done from the slicers side? I have a Duet2 + Duex5 wired up, just need to set the Z limit switch, everything works so far. But the next step would be to slice a part on an appropriate slicer - Any suggestions on the slicer I should use?
I have been able to control all the part cooling fans and the hot end fans, as well as extruders. Interested in duplicate or mirror printing, nothing else, need high throughput.
Utilized the new config tool, and I think 3.5X firmware, was very cool to set it up.
