      I have my printer with dual extruders...
      I am performing trial prints to check if all is well but I am still encountering issues...

      I have the following in Config;-

      M591 D0 P6 C"e0stop" R1:600 E3 S1
      M591 D1 P6 C"e1stop" R1:600 E3 S1

      I am trying to print with Extruder 1

      as soon as I try a print, I get an error that I do not have No Filament in extruder 0
      I cancel and resume...

      I get an error that I do not have filament in Extruder 1

      My Question 1 ;- Why do I get an error connected with extruder 1 when I am working with extruder 0 ?

      I put filament in the extruder 1 just enough to activate the filament present microswitch
      the machine still pauses and tells me there is no filament in Extruder 0 again.
      the error related to extruder 1 is not present any more. Looks like whether I am using extruder 0 or extruder 1, filament must be present in both extruders. Is this correct?

      I try to print and still the machine does continue to bring the error for extruder 1...
      Then I push the command;- M591 D0 P5 C"e0stop" R1:600 E3 S1 ( No filament present micro-switch) machine works.

      This is sending me crazy... Can anybody suggest some tests i can do?

      Note that when I switch on the machine, the LED flash correctly as described ....

        What firmware version?

        If you disable the filament sensor that is not currently in use, does it still complain?

          I have firmware version 3.
          I will try what you suggest, however will take a day or two as I have taken the controller off to complete the case...

            Exactly which version? Send M115 to find out.
