Converting a Geeetech A20M to a dual extruder A20 2 in 2 out
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2019 5:33 am
I am having a lot of trouble converting my Geeetech A20M froma 2 in 1 out extruder to a 2 in 2 out extrduer. I have added two images of how I have my extruders set up. I found the thermister and heat cartridge pins online and was able to slightly modify a version of marlin from https://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopi ... 20&t=17046 . - "4.Geeetech A20 with LCD12864"
I was able to get two heat cartridges and thermisters to heat up two separate heat blocks/hot-ends. I was ready to begin a print but I noticed that
1. The heat blocks were heating up WAY too fast and were over-shooting there target temperature by about 25 degrees Celsius and then would balance out there temperature.
&
2. All axis work just fine. They home perfectly... But when I begin a print off of my SD card, the print start by homing, hits the Z limit switch, goes up about 5 mm and then starts crashing down into the limit switch very fast and wont stop. - So the axis does not need to be inverted.
I Know that nothing is wrong with the motherboard because I am able to upload the stock A20M firmware and it works fine.
I am guessing it is most likely the firmware I am using. I have also attached a zip file of my marlin firmware.
PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPP!!!!
