Dual Extruder and Skirt.

We have finally got to a point on our machine where we are testing the second extruder. We have set all the correct settings in Slic3r to get a good print. What we have found is that the skirt operation is only performed by the first extruder. Does anyone know how to get the skirt function to use both extruders? Or is Slic3r not able to yet? Anyone have any suggestions how to get around this issue if Slic3r can't do it?

Increasing the number of skirt loops to two should turn it on however it doesn't. I reported a bug on github for this a couple of weeks ago. Waiting patiently for a fix...

Meanwhile you could try using the RepRapPro Slicer but it is painfully slow.

Thanks for the info Andy. I'll keep an eye out at github to see what happens.

Guys,
This is a job for the Importer and exporter for G-Code, I hope
If you can help me debug it and make it a usable tool
I posted it here: [sketchucation.com]
and [forums.reprap.org]
that is in [forums.reprap.org]

I need a test g-Code and a description of what I need to do to make the exported g-Code usable.

So if you are up to it - let me know :-D
