Here's the log from one of the prints. The bed heater turned off as soon as the print started. I sent M140 through the terminal which turned the heater on again just before cancelling the print.

RE: Support material extruded by ext1 no matter what settings I use
Thanks. As mentioned, setting Support Material/Interface Extruder to "3" seems to fix the issue but unable to test until I figure out why the bed temp drops after printing starts.

Bed temperature dropping below the assigned value
As in the subject. The temperature is set to 105 degrees and the bed heats up fine. The print starts and the bed temp drops (no heating at all). Unable to turn it on again manually.
Any solutions ?

RE: Support material extruded by ext1 no matter what settings I use
Haven't tried printing 2 separate files yet however it works fine when using 2 different materials for the same stl - one nozzle is printing the support and the other the actual project. And then when it's set to use a single extruder to do both, it tries to use the second extruder for the support again - this time without heating it up (so basically is trying to cold extrude). Extruder count is set to 2.
edit: I managed to solve this partially by setting the Support Material/Interface Extruder to "3" . Haven't tested it because a new problem popped up. The bed temperature doesn't hold - any thoughts on that?

RE: Support material extruded by ext1 no matter what settings I use
Yes it's different - black. Screenshot attached. Perhaps I'm missing something in the settings - is the option in the pic below the only thing I'm supposed to change to have the support printed from the same extruder ? I noticed that the same setting is available in general settings and presets - I changed them all but maybe that's where the error is ? Just speculating here.

Support material extruded by ext1 no matter what settings I use
Hi all,
having a problem with support material - was trying to use flashforge creator with dual ext to print a small model, using ext 2 for both the model and the support. No matter what settings I use (making sure that Support Material Extruder and Support Interface are set to "2" - everywhere I can), MC is trying to print the support with ext1 instead of 2. It actually tries to cold extrude when Support Material Extruder is set to 2. When it is set to no 1, it works fine using the other spool. What am I missing here ? Thanks!
