Maybe I am missing something but it seems that it should be relatively simple to control two extruders separate while extruding simultaneously, but I have not been able to find it so any help is appreciated.
I want to be able to control two extruders simultaneously while the control is separate. So in g-code I would envision something like this with two e values:
G1 X10 Y10 Z1 E2 E4
G1 X20 Y20 Z2 E3 E5
G1 X30 Y30 Z33 E5 E 10
Thanks in advance for any help,

This is *not* supported by the Smoothie at the moment ( there wasn’t even hardware for this before the diamond hotend came out ).
It would be reasonably easy to add ( though it wouldn’t use the syntax you mentionned ), but nobody has done it yet.
Thanks for your reply, I was already afraid that I would need to program it.
Could you give me a nudge in the right direction what is the best way to implement this.
The syntax mentioned was meant for demonstrative purposes But I would expect a similar line but then with different E characters so:
G1 X10 Y10 Z1 EA2 EB4
Or would you suggest another syntax.
Hey. If you contact me at wolf.arthur@gmail.com I can put you in contact with somebody who’s already working on this.
Cheers.
@Dolf and others: I sent Arthur an email to get in touch.
