Only the Extruder not running, new machine, using replicatorg August 16, 2012 01:13PM |
Hi everybody,
I seem to have a problem that doesn't occur that often. Many topics have been regarded and hours been spend, yet no solution has been found. If anybody can be of help, i highly appreciate it! If you would recommend a different combination, please note the why as well
The problem:
My extruder stepper won't run, al the other steppers run beatifuly and the temperatures are kept beautifully constant. The strange thing however is that this only happens with the rapligatorg software (compared to Cura).
Spec's:
Checks used:
The question:
Could anyone help me to get the replicatorg software to work with the extruder?
Since I have the 3D printer working with cura, I might continue with this software. Yet I find that the replicatorg software should work to. And if the solution is found, this of course will be handy for future DIY'rs whom will want to use the same combination.
For reviewing purposes, the configuration.h file from marlin has been included below:

The problem:
My extruder stepper won't run, al the other steppers run beatifuly and the temperatures are kept beautifully constant. The strange thing however is that this only happens with the rapligatorg software (compared to Cura).
Spec's:
- Ramps_V1.4, (with polulu steppers) (two extruder outputs, E0 in use)
- Wades extruder
- Marlin 1.0.0 release candidate 2
- oftware, replicatorg/cura 12.08 Replicatorg machine: mendel with mega/ramps electronics (57900 baud)
Checks used:
- Checked stepper and motor for defects by swapping components, everyting ok.
- I have checked the pinlayout in the marlin firmware.
- By running the Cura 12.08 supplied printrun program I mangaged to use the extruder, no problem, therefore no hardware is damaged (e.g. stepper driver, mega, or ramps board) and the designated pins are ok.
- obbeying the min temperature of 170° (also in Cura ofcourse).
