      Hello again,
      Is it possible to give the extruder a different idle factor?
      I've tried that but unfortunately it doesn't work. Because then all motors have an I factor of 10%

        It's not possible to set a different idle factor for different axises (axis?)

        https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m906-set-motor-currents

        From the notes section:

        The I parameter is the percentage of normal that the motor currents should be reduced to when the printer becomes idle but the motors have not been switched off. The default value is 30% and will always be at least 100mA - starting from RRF 2.02 setting it to 0 will disable the steppers after timeout like M18|M84 do and if an axis is related to the motor, throw out the "homing" of it, since it is likely that the position cannot be precisely determined anymore. Note that the idle current is applied globally for all motors and cannot be set per axis.

          @tkln Check out M913, it does the trick (I think)
