Here's my config file; Only inconsistency I see is that the probe offset is set to 8mm, which isn't what it's configured to be. Other than that, it should be mostly right.

@gixxerfast I checked the cables by bridging the wires together and trying to turn the motor; That's how I checked if the wiring was right, because that was my first thought too. They're all wired up correctly.

@deckingman okay, thanks. That's very insightful. Yes, I did some google-fu, on how to add a second stepper for the Z-axis, and the answer was to simply add a second extruder to the configurator, then re-map it in the config file, which is probably how I ended up with double values for two extruders.

@alankilian I take it you're referring to the 1200:180 type of format?
The Reprap config tool made the numbers xxx:yyy, I didn't do that myself. Should I change it to be a single value, instead of two?

@engikeneer Yes, I checked the wiring. I used the cable for the extruder with the X axis - works the same as before. I also tried using a different stepper motor that is identical to the other motors for the extruder - also doesn't work. I tried using a different, known-good cable, also doesn't work.

These issues only happen on the extruder axis, what drive I set it to, or what hardware I use doesn't seem to matter.

I'm setting up a new printer, all the drives work, except for the Extruder. All it does is vibrate, not turning. I've swapped:

• Motors (to make sure the extruder wasn't broken)
• Cables (Also none broken)
• Drivers (Issue moves with different assigned driver)
  around, to amke sure nothing is borked in the hardware. Everything works, if I attach it to a different axis.

... So I came to the conclusion that I did something wrong in the Firmware. To get it out of the way, I'm a g-code noob, I configured this with the online tool, and only made some changes to the Z-axis, since I'm re-using a CR10 as the motion System. I've gone over it multiple times the past hour, and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong, so I'm asking people that do know what they are doing.

The extruder is a Hemera Direct drive kit, (409 steps/mm, according to the spec sheet)

Here's my config, I hope that helps:

I hope someone can spot what's wrong here (I sure can't, unfortunately), so thank you in advance, and happy printing.
