Hi
My setup is not retracting what ever I do. In the marlin menu I try to move the axis E backwards resulting in normal direction move, aka trying to move it what ever direction causes it to move in the positive direction. When printing there is no retraction, it is probably also into the positive direction thus harder to see. I tried to measure the voltage between DIR pin and GND pin on my driver when trying to retract (moving axis E into negative direction in Marlin's menu in my printer), resulting 0 volts.
I have been changing the retract settings in Marlins config file without success.
Here are my movement settings:
//// MOVEMENT SETTINGS
#define NUM_AXIS 4 // The axis order in all axis related arrays is X, Y, Z, E
#define HOMING_FEEDRATE {100*60, 100*60, 3*60, 0} // set the homing speeds (mm/min)
// default settings
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {40,40,513,120} // default steps per unit for Ultimaker
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {250, 250, 5, 25} // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION {1000,1000,30,10000} // X, Y, Z, E maximum start speed for accelerated moves. E default values are good for Skeinforge 40+, for older versions raise them a lot.
#define DEFAULT_ACCELERATION 1000 // X, Y, Z and E acceleration in mm/s^2 for printing moves
#define DEFAULT_RETRACT_ACCELERATION 1000 // E acceleration in mm/s^2 for retracts
#define DEFAULT_TRAVEL_ACCELERATION 700 // X, Y, Z acceleration in mm/s^2 for travel (non printing) moves
// Offset of the extruders (uncomment if using more than one and relying on firmware to position when changing).
// The offset has to be X=0, Y=0 for the extruder 0 hotend (default extruder).
// For the other hotends it is their distance from the extruder 0 hotend.
// #define EXTRUDER_OFFSET_X {0.0, 20.00} // (in mm) for each extruder, offset of the hotend on the X axis
// #define EXTRUDER_OFFSET_Y {0.0, 5.00} // (in mm) for each extruder, offset of the hotend on the Y axis
// The speed change that does not require acceleration (i.e. the software might assume it can be done instantaneously)
#define DEFAULT_XYJERK 20.0 // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_ZJERK 0.4 // (mm/sec)
#define DEFAULT_EJERK 5.0 // (mm/sec)
Any help very much appreciated
Thanks
