Custom dual extruder firmware configuration
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2016 8:27 pm
I have set up an older (mid 2013) 19v/12v M2 with a custom dual extruder using the E3D Chimera, which is basically two E3D V6s morphed together. As this is not a MakerGear supported setup, I need a bit of help with the firmware. The firmware I have currently works for my single E3D.
Since my new extruder motor mirrors the existing one, I need to reverse the direction of extrusion for the new motor. Right now, if I extrude, it retracts instead, and vice versa. Any idea where to change that setting? I don't see anything that seems to address only the new extruder in Configuration.h or in Configuration_adv.h.
As for adding the new extruder in the firmware, I see that I can change the number of extruders in Configuration.h, and then I thought I would look at the MakerGear supplied dual extruder firmware to see how to set up Configuration_adv.h.
Has anyone else done a dual setup on a 19v/12/v M2? If so, can I maybe get a copy of the firmware that I can then customize for the E3D to save a bunch of experimentation?
Thanks for reading my long explanation!
