Dual Extruders on one tool
-
This is a little different, but i don't see why I can't get it to work. I have a large delta similar to Little Monster, and I want add second extruder for T0 to feed the filament off of the spool ensure there is slack for the effector. I have utilized the mixing configuration, and for testing set the mix 50/50. I would like to go to 1:1 if I can get it working to maintain the correct steps/mm ratio. Here is my config below. E0 extrudes the proper amount of filament and E1 extrudes the proper amount of filament when the they are commanded idividually from the web interface. They both run in parallel when the "ALL" button is pushed. But the "MIX" button only extrudes E0. and G1 E50 F500 only extrudes E0. I'm running a Nimble for the E0 and a Mark 8 for E1. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,

I can't see anything wrong with that, but if G1 E50 F500 only turns E0 then it looks like the M567 command has not been recognised. Try sending M567 P0 and see what ratio it reports.

Thanks for the fast reply. Here is the output.
M567 P0
Tool 0 mix ratios: 1.000:0.000That's not right. You are on to something…but I don't know what.

You have started the comment on the M567 line with a colon instead of a semicolon.

That was it!!!! I have been cutting and pasting that around for two days. Good eye! It is printing great Now! By the way, this is a great platform. I can't wait to upgrade my other printer to Duet3d!
