extruder doesnt have any torque ( Cant move anything)

jay_s_uk

One thing to note is your M584 maps 2 drivers to Z and 1 to E but the remainder of your commands have 1 Z driver and 2 E drivers.

You need to work through your drives section and standardise
e.g.

M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16:16 I1 ; configure microstepping without interpolation
M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z800.00 E723.38:800.00 ; set steps per mm

should be

M350 X16 Y16 Z16:16 E16 I1 ; configure microstepping without interpolation
M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z800.00:800.00 E723.38 ; set steps per mm

note the Z and E changes.

Note sure what affect this will have to your current issue though

Definitely clean up the double extruder values, but the Z axis doesn't need to be doubled since the values for a single motion axis must be identical anyway. It's only extruders that can be different.

You also have some spaces inserted in your commands after the :. Not sure if that would be ignored by the firmware or if it's causing an issue.

You can send M98 Pconfig.g in the console to re-run the config.g and you may catch some error messages that wouldn't otherwise be shown at boot up.

For the motor current, try setting the current to 60-85% of the rated max for the motor.

Here's how I would clean up your drives block

M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 E3 ; two Z motors connected to driver outputs Z and E1
M671 X-20:220 Y0:0 S0.5; leadscrews at left (connected to Z) and right (connected to E1) of X axis
M208 X-5:205 Y0:200 ; X carriage moves from -5 to 205, Y bed goes from 0 to 200
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1; configure microstepping without interpolation
M92 X80 Y80 Z800 E723 ; set steps per mm
M566 X1020 Y1020 Z60 E3000 ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm / min)
M203 X6000 Y6000 Z400 E8000 ; set maximum speeds (mm / min)
M201 X9000 Y9000 Z200 E3000 ; set accelerations (mm / s ^ 2)
M906 X935 Y935 Z935 E1100 I30 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

I also made some changes for your extruder and z axis speed, accel and jerk values.

@Phaedrux i will run through these in a couple hours, tbh i used the reprap config tool and that's what she spit out.

The only things i added/changed were directly related to the problems ive been having.

Ie z motors individually controlled etc.

Thanks for your input

@jay_s_uk also thanks for your input as well

@Phaedrux just out of curiosity i ran the m98 pconfig.g and it came back with this

@joehsmash I think it should be M98 P"config.g" (in inverted commas). I don't think it matters with earlier firmware but in later versions it's mandatory (not sure when in changed).

joehsmash

after changes, m98 provides me with this

@deckingman tried to run as you suggested

@Phaedrux that was it!

swapped it all out like you suggested and BAM.

stepper is so strong it wants to rip my finger off!

I guess your problem is now sorted so it doesn't really matter, but that's odd. Maybe I read something wrong here https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M98_Call_Macro_Subprogram

@deckingman spaces after the P would maybe cause that error!

I think the difference is that he's still on RRF2.

That could be.

Glad that worked.
