Extruder motor wont't turn....:(

Post by xyzsuperstar » Sat Oct 06, 2018 11:45 pm

Hi

I've swapped wires and driver boards and tested the extruder motor (turns) but i can't get the extruder motor to turn during printing, or manually...i'm guessing this is a firmware problem??

Does anyone know how to edit the firmware for this issue? I'm running Marlin 1.1.8.

I'm a complete beginner to 3D printing so help would be much appreciated!

John

PROBLEM SOLVED. I changed DISABLE_INACTIVE_EXTRUDER to false and now the stepper motor rotates.
