Dual extruder weirdeness

byarcand

Hi All,

This is a problem that's got me stumped. I recently upgraded my cartesian printer that uses a RAMBo board to dual extruders. Now in testing, the first extruder move after reaching temp will move the x-axis and extruder simultaneously. Then, the extruder will only move in one direction. this will happen with either extruder. Sometimes they will run normally, but rarely, it seems random. I imagine it's some type of configuration or compiling error, but I've not been able to figure it out. I've tried re-downloading repetier, configuring manually or using the online configuration tool. Nothing has worked so far. If I configure to use just one extruder, it works fine. Any thoughts on what to try next would be appreciated. Configuration file is below. Thanks!
