Based on the feedbacks from users of RaiseTouch version 0.9.10, we have added a few new features and fixed a bug with the new version.
NEW FEATURES
Added Extruder Offset Settings for N series printers.
I just want to make sure my fellow users go back and read the release notes for 0.9.9 where this feature was added for the Pro2 series, but not the N series. If you use an old offset dual extrusion print file and have this enabled- or forget and do not update your Ideamaker or other slicer profiles- this can apply a double offset. Again, I highly suggest all users pay attention to this who do dual extrusion, this is a good change, but is a rather large difference from "the way it used to work". Again, this is actually a very good change, but it's one of those paradigm shifts where a rather significant change in the way dual extrusion coordinates is handled.
Just to list it out:
Pros:
Makes the gcode print file and dual extruder agnostic. This means that the same print file can print on a print farm of printers, each adjusted for it's own custom slight offsets, and since the printer does the application of the offsets- the same agnostic print files works on all of them.
Since this is the way many other slicers and printers work- preview in various alternate gcode previewers will look "correct" because there is no gcode offset in the print file. Again, this is a huge change and the way much of the rest of the 3D printing industry has been working for a long time.
Makes tuning the offset easier- no need to reslice the file over and over. Just print, change the offset, print again, until the offset in firmware is correct.
Cons:
Old print files made with an offset requires changing the setting in firmware to disable the offset- luckily, this is a toggle and retains your settings so that you can easily do this from the touch screen.
Added Enable Extruder Offset and Extruder Offset settings under More Settings -> Hardware -> Extruders.
If you have edited the Extruder Offset in IdeaMaker or other slicer, please disable this option in case of an incorrect calculation for dual-extrusion prints. Again, also ensure you label or remember that old print files created before this change- they require disabling the extruder offset in firmware because the actual gcode already has been offset.
