Ditto, mirror, dual head
-
Wondering if there is documentation I am not finding on idexx machines. I have my dual gantry dual head corexy printing and was wanting to start a dual head print in ditto mode. But I'm not finding the documentation on it.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringMultipleIndependentXcarriagesCartesian should have you covered.

Here is my RRF 2 config of my IDEX printer. It does not have a mirror mode but copy mode works and the only difference between copy and mirror mode is inverting the U axis.
https://github.com/oliof/printerconfigs/blob/main/cr20/system/config.g
For copy mode, I have a second printer profile in my slicer (I use superslicer) that
a) has the print surface halved, i.e. rather than 220x220 it's 100x220 (a bit less than half to ensure clearance)
b) selects Tool2 in the custom start gcode(T2
)
c) unselects all tools in the custom end gcode (T-1
)For mirror mode I would add axis mapping and unmapping in another printer profile.
Superslicer has its own options to manage tool parking and standby temps, but I use the free/tpre/tpost macro facilities of RRF so all those slicer features are unused.

ok so mapping the tool to my drive you have this line...
M563 P1 D1 H3 X3 F3 S"Rechts" ; Define tool 1 (runs on U carriage, uses heater 3 and fan 3 for part cooling)
this is what I have but I don't know that it is right.
M563 P1 D0 H2 F4 ; Define tool 0
G10 P1 U0 V925 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets -
@oliof I think I got duplication down...
; Tools
M563 P0 D0 H1 ; Define tool 0

G10 P2 U0 V-450 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets

looks about right. Are the X and Y offsets correct?
