I am trying to set up a dual bowden extruder using Slic3r as the slicing software, but I am having some issues with ooze on the non-active extruder. Over time, the inactive extruder begins to ooze and when it finally travels over the part, it will wipe itself on the part, leaving messy trails. Slic3r has a setting for retraction when the extruder is disabled, and I have been playing with this aby downeym - General

you want the nozzle to tighten up against the heat break so that there is no gap between them. If you tighten the nozzle against the heater block, then there can be a small gap between the nozzle and the heat break where molten plastic can accumulate and cause flow issues and/or jamming.by downeym - General
this is cool, but after browsing the database, I could not really find anything worth printing. A few trilobite fossils looked decent, but not interesting enough to clean up and print... anyone find anything awesome in this database?by downeym - General
