      Ok:

      I was under the impression that the script file from Simplify3d would overwrite the bed / config files from DWC.

      Here is my current script file:
      M104
      T0
      M92 X80 Y80 Z1600 E822 ; define steps / mm configurations
      G28 ; home all
      G92 E0
      G1 Z0.1 F1000
      G1 X8.0 F2000
      G1 Y60.0 E4.0 F1000.0 ; prime
      G1 Y100.0 E8.5 F1000.0 ; prime
      G92 E0

      When I uploaded the file to DWC, the printer ran what appears to be the autobed compensation file as I saw errors indicating that the Z probe had not triggered during the hot end's move.

      Here is the home all content which is called from the Simplify3d script:
      ; homeall.g
      ; called to home all axes
      ;
      ; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool on Fri Sep 08 2017 09:50:05 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

      ; Relative positioning

      ; Lift Z
      G1 Z5 F6000

      ; Course home X and Y
      G1 X-195 Y-285 F1800 S1

      ; Move away from the endstops
      G1 X5 Y5 F6000

      ; Fine home X and Y
      G1 X-195 Y-285 F360 S1

      ; Tell the firmware where we are
      G92 Z2.5

      ; Uncomment the following line to lift the nozzle after probing
      ;G1 Z5 F100

      The hot end is still high and I am not getting much extrusion (if any), so I killed the print.

      I am now going to go through the manual tests to measure the steps / mm settings that you referenced in your post.
      Thanks,
      Tim

        Note
        Sorry, I forgot to mention that I still get the messages indicating movement with no tools selected and then heating an extruder without a tool selected.

          Ok . Travel distances

          X moved forward 100MM
          Y moved forward 100MM
          Z moved up 30MM

          E made a lot of noise but did not move. Set the heater to 240 and clicked to unload filament. No unload.
          Unlocked the plastic tube where it enters the hot end and removed it with the filament. Good solid 5mm length of filament at the end that was removed. Looks like the tube did not go all the way in, or something else is off in the hot end. I will take it apart, check the nozzle for a clog, and then check to make sure the metal tube is sitting against the back end of the nozzle before I put it back together.

          Nozzle is clogged.

          Thanks,

          Tim

            Unclogged. I can manually push on the filament and it will flow out of the nozzle. I've played with the feedrate and amount settings and it doesn't seem to want to push it through.

            If I manually get it started, it will feed for a bit, and then it will stop and the stepper just rocks back and forth, seemingly between forward and backward. Any chance it need more current to turn the motor against the backpressure of feeding the filament out of the nozzle?
            Thanks
            Tim

                Ok, after your post of 20:12

                Current M92 in config.g :
                X640 Y640 Z3200 E400

                Changed to
                M92 X80 Y80 Z1600 E822

                Commented two lines that set Z probe since I don't have mine yet.
                Rmoved M92 line from script file

                Edited last line in Config.g to change tool to T0 since I only have 1 extruder.
                Moved T0 to M104 line in script file:

                  How many amps do your motors use? Should be a sticker on them.

                    Woah

                    I think it might be doing something, but it is really hard to tell. It took forever to make the effort to home all and it did that very slowly and so far it has not moved off of home.

                    I had forgotten the other change to M92. for the extruder settings so I have done that and reset.

                    I am still getting "attempting to extrude with no tool selected" and the extruder is not feeding.

                      After the last reset, the speed is ok, but still "attempting to extrude with no tool selected."

                        Under tools. M563 P0 instead of P1.

                          The G10's under it, change to P0 as well.

                            Make sure you do these steps too.

                              The sticker says Tevo 17HD4401-c5.18

                              Google was no help on that number. I found a posting on their facebook owner page where someone got a spec sheet. Theirs is 1.5A, and Tevo says 1.4 to 1.7 is ok to use.

                                Once you get everything squared away, you can up the numbers in M906 X855 Y855 Z855 to 1200 or so and even E up to a 1000 or so.
