NikoMan update issue
I really appreciate your help, a lot of this is over my head and need a lot of help. I don't know why the pressure advance has to be set, I tried it both ways and it would only work with that set. I will learn more as I go, but for now just need workarounds so that I can still print with IDEX. I bought this machine for two reasons, the copy print, twice as fast, and two colors, fast and without all the waste. I am producing parts that I will sell and need the speed and quality.

Forgot to say, that in my above Gcode edits, there is included the "Pause GCode
PAUSE "
this needs to be removed, just set ; Filament gcode
SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.05 and it works. Ok thats it. thanks

OK that printer Gcode is what I have also documented from Helge, however it doesn't work just by itself, the filament Gcode needs this addition: Start filament GCode
; Filament gcode
SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.05
after saving the gcode entries then you have to regenerate the part gcode. It is now working fine printing full IDEX copy. I was hoping there was a shortcut to all of this, maybe write a macro to make these entries, but at least its all working now, thank you very much for all of your effort.

OK in IDEX for the same file I get : " Error evaluating 'gcode_macro START_PRINT:gcode': jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: list object has no element 1" I have solved this in the past and printed in copy mode by editing the gcode according to Helge's instructions. I was hoping the IDEX copy macro would do that for me, it has worked in the past without those setting and gcode edits. Maybe its the sequence of the printing process, anyway thanks for your help. Is this what I have to do everytime to get the IDEX copy to work: Start GCode for IDEX printers

Ok after power cycling the machine error was still coming up, even in single print mode. So I resliced the object and generated new gcode, the single print is now working. After this finishes I will then try the IDEX copy mode.

Hi I was able to finally ssh in and ran ratos doctor, it is better no packages show need of update but this is error keeps coming up, even though I have entered the "unsupported slicer" line to the printer.cfg
Post-processing Error: slicer version not supported
You can allow unsupported slicers by adding the following to printer.cfg.
[ratos]
allow_unsupported_slicer_versions: True
Reasons for failure:
The file format is from an old version of RatOS which is no longer supported. The original file must be re-uploaded or re-sliced.
