Dear all
I’ve recently received the new dual extruder attached to my F350.
My prefered post processing software is Cura, currently in version 5.2.2.
There, I haven’t figured out how to activate the second extruder. I can only select “1” extruder in the related drop down menu of the machine settings.
Does any body know how to set “2” extruders under the cura machine settings?
Kind regards

I’ve been waiting for mine since June. It’s extremely annoying that everyone else is getting theirs and I haven’t heard a peep from snapmaker.
There is a tab in cura under setting for dual extruder. I believe it’s just above experimental by a tab or 2. I expected it would be an enable check box like for supports and overrides.
I’ll check when I get to work.
Sorry to hear about the delay in delivery. I got mine last week (Europe).
So far, I am very happy with it. It seems to print smoother and the (real) autoleveling is very convenient.
For now, I’ve manually added a custom profile with two extruders.
I tried mucking about in (MacOS) file /Applications/Ultimaker Cura.app/Contents/Resources/share/cura/resources/definitions/snapmaker2_A150.def.json .
I copied some dual extruder configs from felixpro2dual.def.json, but couldn’t get it to take. I’m sure it’s possible by editing the JSON, I just didn’t have the patience to keep at it.
<> it was September apologies.
I am just creating my own Cura profile, and since Luban is based on Cura, I looked around in the Luban program directory, and on Windows 64bit, here:
C:\Program Files\Snapmaker Luban\resources\app\resources\print-settings\printing\a350_dual
there are the JSON files. Infering from them, nozzle offsets for both extruders are x/y = 0, and extruder left has fan number 0, right fan number 1. However, out of curiosity, I connected with the printer and issued:
M106 P0 → Both fans spin
M107 P0 → Both fans turn off
M106 P1 → Both fans spin
M107 P1 → Both fans turn off
M106 P0 → Both fans spin
M107 P1 → Both fans turn off
So, as of now, you can’t control the fans individually. Positive: Air flow is pretty strong - I guess print cooling will not be too bad.
Side remark:
M106 P2 → Both hotend cooling fans spin
M107 P2 → Both hotend cooling fans turn off
Will this weekend try to print something using Cura - will report back.
