Flux Capacitor 4 Way Extruder - Single Hotend

Controllers Smoothie
1

Hello there. I’m starting using Smoothieware software and I began with a problem:
With friends at RepRap (ImmaginaECrea.it) we made a 4 way extrusion system with a single hotend.
MagoKimbra modify the Marlin version to make us able to “sense” thermistors and heat cartridge as multiple, where is indeed one.

I saw in Smoothie that there’s a modifier “@” REPEATER MODE. Can someone explain how it works and if there’s some kind of exotic config
to make our tool work on a Smoothie?
I’m thinking about the Diamond. As far as I know, Smoothie can’t drive more than one extruder at time, but this will be not an obstacle for us.

Thanks a lot for your time and patience.

Sincerely, Cristiano.

Smoothie supports multiple extruders.

I’m not sure how repeater mode is related to that.

Care to explain some more ? What exactly are you trying to do ?

Just setup all 4 hotends to use the same input ports and same mosfet. woks like a charm did that with an e3d cyclops.

Hi!
Did you have success doing this? I’m looking for the same thing: use 4-way flux capacitor with Smoothieaware.
