Using Dual Z drivers + dual extruders on the Rumba board running repetier?
December 30, 2013 12:36PM
Anyone here using the Rumba board from reprapdiscount?
I`m building my ORD BOT Hadron using this board + Bulldog Lite extruder.
I have studied the Marlin firmware and got X,Y and Z axis + extruder + end stops to work fine. But I plan to use dual drivers on the Z axis (one for each stepper) + dual Bulldog Lite extruder setup and have some problems finding how to configure this in Marlin.

Is this possible in Repetier?

Anyone have a config file to share where dual Z + dual extruder is in use?

Checkout the development version of the firmware on Github. It has the option in configuration.h to "duplicate motors" to open extruders.

That is now very simple. Go to http://www.repetier.com/firmware/v091/ and set configuration level to normal or higher. Then you can select the mirroring option for each axis.

That configuration page was impressive :-) Now I have to test Repetier firmware.
