Use second extruder for support material

We use this object for reference. This can only be printed well with support material
Repetier-Host has two options for dual extrusion. Both are described below.
Go to the slicer tab and choose the following:
Slicer 1: CuraEngine
Print configuration: 1_FELIX_3_0 Dual_Head_Mode
Adhesion Type: ...
Quality: ...
Support type: Everywhere
Extruder 1: Your filament type loaded.
Extruder 2: Your filament type loaded.
Press slice, this should be the result.
The white colored lines are the support material and the blue lines are the object itself
Next to the object you see a square tower, this is used to clean the nozzle when switching.
Slicer 2: SLIC3R
Print Setting: x_2_ .... Quality (... micron)
Printer Settings: Felix 3.0 DUO
Extruder 1: Your filament type loaded.
Extruder 2: Your filament type loaded.
Turn off override Slic3r Settings, unless you want to explicitly change things.
Press slice
You will see that the white lines are the support material and the blue lines the object. There is an
additional outer wall drawn, which is there to wipe the nozzle of the non-used extruder during printing.
