  • As of now, we would like to somehow develop a code where we can turn the welder torch on and off using a relay switch every time the system feeds wire. After that, we would figure out how and where to insert that code in repetier, most likely in the…

  • The goal is to just have an on/off effect for the welder during every layer; somewhat like a laser not including temperature.

  • The welder is connected to a relay switch which could connect to the ramps but I'm unsure on where to connect it and how to configure it. Should I connect it to a 2nd extruder port and fake thermistor sensor?

  • alright, I was able to get my extruder to work, but now i have a question on how to increase the extruding amount. For example, my wire feeder is barely feeding any wire so how would I increase the amount of rotations per say.

  • Also, do i need a thermistor installed if I'm only trying to cold extrude using the "fake 25C at all times"

  • The steps per mm are set at 80, also the motor spins manually using the x y or z axes ports on the ramps.

  • So, now I think I have gotten through the cold extrusion part but when I try to rotate the extruder motor, it screeches from a low to high pitch noise depending on amps regulated. I already doubled checked if it is the stepper driver and that isn't …

  • When I connect the microcontroller, there are no error messages. Thus, i go to the manual control tab and i put in the code M302 S1. Then, I put in a STL file, slice it, and click print. Result: It moves all axes but extruder motor has no rotation. …

  • How can I set it to disable dry run automatically on startup? I have been manually clicking the circle mark next to dry run in the manual options to do so.

  • No it is not enabled, I disabled it in the manual option.

  • Thank you. I tried that but for some reason the software does not recognize my "extruder". I have a stepper motor connected to Extruder 0 port on the ramps 1.4 but no movement during the print even with cold extrusion allowed. It seems like the extr…
