Specifying Temp For Each Extruder

Post by inventabuild »

I enter the following code in "Printer G-code / Prefix" tab:

T0
M104 S<TEMP> ; set ext temp no wait
T1
M109 S<TEMP> ; set ext temp wait

and both extruders heat to the Material temp of the Material loaded into T0. How do I heat each extruder to its correct temperature as set in the Material's tab?

Edit:
By the way I have the following code in the "Printer G-code / Select New Ext & Warm" tab:

T<EXT+0>
M109 S<TEMP> ; ; set extruder temp and wait till it's there

This is a hack, but you can use the Keep Warm temperature setting, then use the <WARM1> through <WARM4> tokens. If you still need the keep warm temperatures, maybe you could adopt a convention on how much lower keep-warm temp is over the regular extrusion temp. For example if the keep warm temp is always regular temp - 100 C, then you could use the tokens as follows:

T0
M104 S<WARM1+100>
T1
M104 S<WARM2+100>

Does that work?

Thanks for the help, but not really ideal...not sure if a constant value of 100 or whatever plays well w/ all materials.

Why doesn't <TEMP> work when an extruder is selected in Printer / Prefix tab, but <WARM> does?
