dual extruder, single nozzle settings - E1 stuck at "E1 heating..."
August 10, 2017 03:33AM
Hello! - Im trying to upgrade my 3d printer to a dual extruder setup - Im going to use a bowden Y-splitter to my hotend.

Im running a MKS gen.1.4 with Marlin 1.1.4

After uploading the firmware, the first extruder (E0) works just fine, but the second (E1), when i try to move that, the LCD display says "E1 heating...." and then just hangs there - there goes a little click sound before it happens, but that's it.

I have defined it to be a SINGLENOZZLE in the configurations, but it still expect a second thermoresistor I think -

what changes do I need?

Check the attached file.

I have a single filament single nozzle and my LCD display says "E1 heating...." also so this may be misleading, because others have stated the same.
will be watching this as want to learn this myself.

Might have to look a bit deeper into the hardware then -

Found out what the problem was - The premade cable i bought for the stepper was incorrectly wired - the 2 center wires was switched arround..


NEXT question is:

I have defined in configuration.h

"#define EXTRUDERS 2"

But on the LCD display in prepare->move axis - I have 3 extruders - Extruder - Extruder1 and Extruder 2

Is that normal?
