How to edit slicer settings to rotate extruder July 01, 2014 09:42AM |
I am working on a multi-colour single extruder concept, where the filament switches at both the hot end and cold end by fixed rotation angles.
I am unsure as to how the firmware/software has to be edited in order to incorporate this?
Is it possible to edit slicer settings to enable rotation? For example, T0 and T1 commands are used to switch between extruders. So is there some command that can be used to rotate it instead?
All ideas, suggestions, helpful comments are welcome
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you could use M280 gcode command and a servo and insert your code in the tool change gcode
This is the theory
I don't know how to do it
