octoprint.LeftExtruder.log

I have been using Octoprint for the Creator Pro 2. When I first got it working it worked find for the right extruder but would not print from the left extruder at all. One day last week I decided to try the left extruder again and it worked. Then I played around with some cancel G-Code and it stopped working again. Mysterious..

Do I dug in a bit.
tailing -f serial.log showed that 2 things were happening.

  1. In some scenarios, when using the left extruder, Octoprint starts sending the g-code too soon before the extruders are up to temperature and over runs the buffer, ignoring messages that the buffer is full. This is hard to reproduce and I am still working on it. So no logs for this one yet. Anyway once this happens the printer needs a reboot and Octoprint seems to need one too.

  2. In most cases when using the left extruder Octoprint does not start sending g-code like normal. Its send out g-code very slowly.

If you need some help debugging let me know and if you can tell me how to get a debugger attached to it I am more than willing to take a look and help. In fact very interested in doing so.

Thanks for all your work
