			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>I have really been trying to figure this out and find an answer to this problem (about 5 hours today...) but I still don&#039;t know, how to make ReplicatorG print the support layers with the second extruder I have.</p><p><strong>Here is what I have:</strong><br />MakerBot Replicator 2X with ABS standard filament (right extruder) and ABS support (dissolvable) filament (left extruder)<br />ReplicatorG with either Skeinforge or Slic3r</p><p><strong>My problems:</strong><br />using Skeinforge: I didnt find any option to build supports and raft using the other extruder - this slicer probalby can&#039;t do this... I know how to do dual extrusions, but I really don&#039;t want to model the supports myself in CAD.</p><p>using Slic3r: I have found the option to print supports with whatever extruder I want (hoooray!) BUT I am not able to find a way of saving a profile from slic3r in ReplicatorG settings - it always uses just the default ones. I tried to generate the gcode right in the Slic3r, but I ReplicatorG told me it doesn&#039;t recognise some of the commands.</p><p>using MakerWare: 1st) I don&#039;t want to use this program at all since ReplicatorG has more options, 2nd) It fails with error whenever I try to export gcode for whatever reson anyway.</p><p><strong>What I want :-) please:</strong><br />Either tell me how to save a profile from slicer in replicatorG<br />or tell me how to do it in skeinforge<br />or tell me how to do it any other suitable way</p><p>thanks a lot!</p><p>P.S.: I tried to use Repetier-Host - which seems to be working nice with Slic3r, but I lack knowledge to connect it with my printer (the program doesn&#039;t do it automaticaly as ReplicatorG)</p>]]></content>
