Prusa i3 Pro , dual extruder, issues
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:04 pm
Hi,
I just built my Prusa I3 Dual Extruder, and have some issues I can't seem to resolve.
1. Marginal issue - what model do I have? The Frame is acrylic, the X-Axix assembly is printed parts, but the Extruder tray is steel
2. What do I need to change (and where), for the dual extruder? Is there a separate firmware?
3.The axis steppers run fine, endstops are recognized, extruder nozzle heats up and temperature is displayed correctely. However, the extruder (so far I tested only the left one, Extruder1) does not move. I checked the voltage at the driver (pot to GND-Point), and is reads 1.91V. I checked the cable, it is OK (I measured Ohms from end to end for each pin)
4. I conected the extruder stepper to the x-axis port, and it is still not working - do I Need to Change the Jumpers under the Driver for the Extruder Steppers? Are they different from the axix-motors?
5. are there ready-made Cura / Slic3r profiles I can download for the dual Extruder, or the Prusa i3 in General?
...what else am I missing?
