Tool changer for more than two tools?
-
Hi, I successfully setup my Duet to auto select T0 or T1 and auto park them when a print job is running (starting by both tools parked and finishing by both tools parked).
Now the question is how to achieve the same results with more tools added, say total of 4?
@dc42 will be there any developments to make this process semi automatic? Like the Duet automatically detects the current tool then park it at its parking (according to a macro) when a new tool is selected or a print job is done etc? -
RRF already knows which tool is selected, and runs the tool change macro files when switching between them. Have you not read about the tool change macros? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareCartesianPrinter#Section_Tool_change_files

Oh I don't know why I got confused, seems the same process for two or more tools, and at the end of my gcode I can add
T0
M98 P/macros/parkT0
to park all tools..
Will the Duet automatically add tpre, tfree and tpost files when I select the number of extruders, say 4 extruders when setting it up?
Thanks! -
You have to create the tfree, tpre and tpost files yourself.
