#define PREVENT_DANGEROUS_EXTRUDE

and change


#define HEATER_0_MINTEMP 5 -> #define HEATER_0_MINTEMP 0

#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 150 -> #define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 0

If you are planning on using this for a router or some along those lines, then you might be putting new firmware on anyways and this won't matter. Just make sure you don't run your machine with hotends using this configuration. This will break something if you do.

If it gets disconnected, the firmware halts the job. Plenty of work arounds if you don't mind playing with the firmware.

Was curious about the printhead/extruder. I'm repurposing the printhead as a hobby project, but it seems like when the connection is broken from the red and blue cable (I'm assuming the thermocouple and heater), there is no signal sent to the xyz motors to move the printhead ...?

anyone else come across this before ?

thanks so much. so excited to start using this BEAST !
