Can smoothieware handle a dual X carriage 3d printer at this time?
I’m talking about a setup where each extruder has it’s own carriage, like BCN3D.
Marlin does this quite well now, both in fully automatic mode (firmware moves tools for you) and in manual mode (gcode needed to move/swap tools).
As far as I know that was something that was written into Marlin firmware and is not something I have seen in the smoothie code. It could potentially be handled in the program that makes the gcode, but not as seamlessly as Marlin does it.
Hey.
Nobody added this to Smoothie yet.
You could implement it with custom gcodes and a bit of special wiring, (ie without having to change the code ), this has been done and is known to work, but it’s not “natively” supported.
Cheers.
