Firmware retraction not working as expected

Yes, it's me again with a similar issue as last time, except this time firmware retraction works, but not as expected.

G10 and G11 retract and unretract, but only the active extruder.  On my last printer it affected all 5 extruders and that is what I need.  I'm using an Arduino Due on this printer, as apposed to the Mega2560 on my AM8, but everything else is the same as my other printer.

Let me know if you need more of my config file.  Thanks!

  • Retraction of all filaments is a special feature in mixing extruders. Is this the same extruder or for a different system? If it is same printer with different board compare settings to be the same except maybe pin numbers.
  • Ok that answered my question.  Mixing extruder was way above that in the firmware so I didn't see it and forgot to set it to 1.  Thanks again for your timely and awesome help! :)

    Most of my issues are simple things that I just miss by accident.  So many settings and so little brain lol.  Purchasing your software was the smartest thing I've done!.
