Control extruder continuously

GWilkens

Hi there

I am working at a research facility and i am responsible for a food 3d printing project.
Right now we have a running prototype of a "food printing portal" with a duet 0.8.5.

Now we need to experiment with different materials and extruder-speeds. Is it possible to run the extruder continuously and vary speeds with a digital potentiometer in the web interface somehow?

Rendering of my prototype:

You can vary the extrusion amount via gcode command (there is a slider in the web interface that allows the extrusion the be varied)

But it is not possible to just let it run until i stop it, am i right?

There is no gcode command to do that.
