Extruder control grayed out
-
I can't use the extrusion control in the web control for some reason. It remains grayed out even though I have my extruder fully preheated to 235 degrees, but it stays gray and wont let me click on it. I'm so close to having this printer working again but this one has me stumped. I've even tried commenting out the 2nd extruder heater settings to bring it down to one heater and it still wont work. Suggestions? Here are my config settings.

Can you send a photo of the DWC console?
Did you select a tool? (I have a "T0" in my config.g)
What version of firmware are you running?With V3.3 I run the hotend temp up, and at about 100C the Retract button becomes active and at about 150C the Extrude button becomes active.
Here's my config.g (for a delta) if you want to look at stuff.

I have tool 0 clicked on.
here is a picture of my firmware stuff from the web control page.

@jasonpgr I see "Status" = "Printing" What's going on there?
Can you show us the status page?

as for the status, I was attempting a print when I took that screenshot to see if it would extrude under those conditions. Turns out thats a nope on that one. moved through all the motions, just no turning of the extruder motor.
So just to clarify, in my config file where it reads
M563 P0 H1 F0 ; define tool 0
it should actually read
M563 P0 H1 F0 D0 ; define tool 0
is that correct?

@jasonpgr said in Extruder control grayed out:
M563 P0 H1 F0 D0 ; define tool 0
That's what I have in my config.g

Correct, assuming that your first defined extruder drive is intended to be used with T0
