Hi’
Can someone upload their simplify3d settings for a ctc makerbot please.
i’ve tried to set mine up but its not printing on the build plate, in fact the build plate stays at the bottom and the extruder prints in mid air and not in the correct location.
Here’s mine. It’s actually a FFF file, so just change the file extension (from PDF) and import into Simplify3D.

Did you switch your firmware from Marlin/Sprinter/Reprap to Sailfish?
Hi’
Yes i did
cheers
I put the profile in and tried to do a test run but the start code or something is not right for my printer, because the print head goes straight into print, no heating extruder’s so i had to quickly stop it.
This start code works for my (ctc mk8 extruder printer)

so now i have got that part worked out i need to work out how to dual extrude because every time i try it just says i have no dual extruder profile even though i do.
Hello any chance you can upload the settings again please desperately need them, not getting very far !
Did you ever get the dual extruder wizard to work or figure out how to dual extrude. Not much info out there. Hate using makerbot for my dual extrusion prints. Any help would be greatly appreciated
