Guys i cant understand what i am doing wrong . i assume that the first extruder is x0 y0 ( G10 command) and from that i offset the second extruder which is right from the left closer to x0 -5mm but that doesn't do the trick. where is the wrong ?

Post your config.g file. Which firmware version are you running?

I prefer to use the mid point between the nozzles as the head reference point and offset them from there in opposite directions, but it's up to you.

I didn't spot anything wrong with your config.g. Try this test:

Home the printer
Send T-1 to ensure no tool is selected
Send G1 X100. Web interface or M114 should show the X position as 100.
Send T0. Assuming you don't have any movement commands in your tool change files, the X position reported should now be 102.35.
Send T1. The X position should be reported as 97.35.

@DC42,

David, are you saying that if you have a negative X offset for the tool of say minus 20mm and X home is zero, then when printing the head will be able to move to X-20?

Although i dont believe it is a hardware or duet problem but a slic3r one ( it looks like this post ) i ll do as you told and i ll come back.

it shows 102.3 and 97.3.

So the firmware is applying your nozzle offsets properly. Now make sure that you do not also have nozzle offsets configured in your slicer.

i do not have them in slic3r configured . they are 0,0 both .

but when i started researching the problem i ve noticed that no matter where i offset the two nozzles the print was just had the same offset..! there is must be something that i am doing wrong in slicer .

Here's another test then. Home the printer, send T0, then send the nozzle a particular place e.g. by sending G1 X100 Y100. Mark the point that the first nozzle is over. Then send T1, then G1 X100 Y100 again. The second nozzle should be over the same point.

One thing that could be messing it up is if you are X or Y homing on a tool change and you have G92 commands in your homing files. Don't use G92 in your homing files, use M208 and M208 S1 to define the homing positions of the head reference point instead. You don't need to do any homing on a tool change either.

i think i ve told you before u r brilliant..! Yep it wasn't at the same point and the offset that i am getting is the same as τηε ονε i am getting at the prints.

David i have my X trigger at max so i have to set negative values ?
M208 X-270 Y230 Z150 is this correct

guys i am so embarrassing . i think i found it . the offsets that i was given to the config. was missing some decimals . instead of 23.5 i was setting 2.35 . Now i ve corrected this it seems it is working perfect....!

Let me ask something about the M208 . If the endstop is at high ( in my case 280mm ) but the bed is smaller ( 270mm) what can you do so the nozzle won't get out of the printing boundaries ?

Thanks for ur help david

Does it matter if the nozzle can go outside the printable boundary? I guess you could use M208 X280 near the start of homex.g and homeall.g, and M208 X270 near the end.
