        <title>Extruder motor not running while printing</title>
        <description> Hi! 
I have an Ormerod 2 and have it set to extrude using a paste extruder instead of the ABS/PLA. When I manually extrude using Pronterface, the motor works fine, but when I send a print from the SD card, the nozzle moves as if it&#039;s printing, but the extruder motor doesn&#039;t turn. Do you have any suggestions? It&#039;s connected by USB as well as to a power supply so I think it should be getting enough current.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ In the instructions here: [<a href="https://reprappro.com/documentation/using-the-paste-extruder/" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">reprappro.com</a>] they tell you to add some g-code in the config.g and one of those is to allow cold extrudes.  Have you done this?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Here's what I have for the paste extruder:<br />
[<a href="https://reprappro.com/documentation/paste-extruder/" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">reprappro.com</a>]<br />
<br />
I have a file that's config.g that seems to have all the parameters, where would I find configuration.h?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure what a paste extruder is.  Does it require heat?  If not, then Marlin is probably preventing the extruder from moving due to the temperature constraint.<br />
<br />
Look for EXTRUDE_MINTEMP in Configuration.h.  It is set to 170 by default I think.  Set it to 0 to disable.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ What firmware?  I don't know if pronterface can override it, but marlin firmware has a temperature cutoff below which the extruder will not run.]]></description>
