Finaly did it. I was so close throwing in a dowel on this one. I think it took me like literally 30 tries. Finaly what did it was standart cura with most of @sebastian waters settings. As u can see my print was 13h, did it in 2 parts (point of pause is seen on print as well). 0 nozzle gloggs and for some reason had to manually push the nr 2 color filamet in for first color swap. (Somethig to do with cura settings, had to do it every try, but only for the first swap) So in my experience "Prime tower size" is in correlation with "Prime Tower minimum Volume". For example for me setting the minimum volume to 18 was just not clearing the color enough and i tried setting it 30 as my tower size was 20. But that made it even worse, meaning when it was time to change the color it was really unstable with one time correct amount (for example 15) of circles in prime tower and for the other it was doing only 1-2 circles and back to print. So my final go it was 30 for both. Also its highly reccomened to set the "Nozzle standby temp" equal to print temp. Otherwise it means it will wait quite long until the temp lowers to that standby temp, and it does that on your print. For some reason not ooozing nearly as much as with Makertech cura. I also added 1 line of code "G1" to one extruder end setting. Just for it to move to certain spot on the table after it was finished extruding its layer. For coinsidence it moved right over my purge tower and i had "Wipe inactive nozzle on prime tower" also ticked. So i quess thats why my prime tower has miljon of tots on it. Also for cause of the massive lenght of the "Nozzle retraction distance" if u have 1kg spool on the printer it will move ur filament off the spool and if u dont correct it in every 0.5 to 1 hour it will ruin ur print :) For conclusion i really think that Makertech slice for dual extrusion is sooo much better if only they would remove that 5sec temp check setting that causes the plob on the prime tower. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE @Makertech remove it on the next cura version. so as u can see the amount of filament and time wasted is ridicoulus but nobody ever said it would be easy, i just did not think it would be this hard 🎤
