Simplify3D Tool Change Script

Simplify3D Tool Change Script This script is inspired by a thread on the Simplify3D forum, specifically a post by user blaknite7. My version of Simplify3D doesn't parse placeholder variables for tool temperatures in the tool change script, so I used my absolute printing temperatures instead. The clear benefit of this approach is near full elimination of oozing and drips on the print. The drawback is that print time on multicolour layers are near doubled in printing time. Be warned! There are two versions here of the script, one for M133 script and another for M109 command. I used the M133 script on my Sailfish firmware Wanhao Duplicator 4S printer because it doesn't honor the M109 command. The second version uses a M109 command as designed by blaknite7. The model I have printed to test this script is made by MakeALot and is called two colour calibration cubes. I highly recommend using those objects to calibrate your dual nozzle printing. M109 Script ; Tool change script start G1 X0 Y40 F4000 ; Move out of the way while it stabilises active tool temp. {IF NEWTOOL=0}; RIGHT Extruder is active (T0) M104 S165 T1 ; Cool inactive extruder to 165c (T1) M109 S210 T0 ; Heat active extruder to 210c (T0). {IF NEWTOOL=1}; LEFT Extruder is active (T1) M104 S165 T0 ; Cool inactive extruder to 165c (T0) M109 S210 T1 ; Heat active extruder to 210c (T1). ; Tool change script end There are two things to change here, the coordinates where oozing can happen, and your print temperature. M133 Script ; Tool change script start G1 X0 Y40 F4000 ; Move out of the way while it stabilises active tool temp. {IF NEWTOOL=0}; RIGHT Extruder is active M104 S165 T1 ; Cool inactive extruder to 165c (T1) M104 S210 T0 ; Heat active extruder to 210c (T0). M133 T0 ; Stabilise T0 temperature {IF NEWTOOL=1}; LEFT Extruder is active M104 S165 T0 ; Cool inactive extruder to 165c (T0) M104 S210 T1 ; Heat active extruder to 210c (T0). M133 T1 ; Stabilise T1 temperature ; Tool change script end Same things need changing here, the coordinates where oozing can happen, and your print temperature.
