      hello all
      is it possible to keep only xyz axis motors in defined idle current ,
      i want to keep extruder motor to become zero idle current,

      or is it possible that m571 command i can define for individual extruders for some operations in which i require to allocate different outputs for different extruders,

      board; duet3 6hc, firmware 3.3
      please help

          @adhanabal said in separate idle current for extruder motors:

          iwant to keep extruder motor to become zero idle current,

          At zero current, the firmware will loose position info of the extruder.
          AFAIK it's not possible yet to set different idle current, but it can be interesting for multitool printers.

              @adhanabal If you want to power your extruders off when not printing you could just use M18 E0 at the end of a print or possibly in one of the standard macro files (you could even put it in daemon.g along with a suitable test to see if you are not printing).
