It had gotten switched to relative somehow. Thanks I love this forum.

Make sure it is set to 5D firmware, and the extruder is set to absolute and not relative.

Yesterday Kisslicer was working fine. Now when I slice and import into R/H it just shows some of the movement path but it doesn't extrude anything. I have gone back over all of my settings and can't find what has changed.Any ideas.

I found the answer myself. For single extruder printers it is not necessary to send a tool change message. So delete the T-Command. For me it was the solution.

Kisslicer: Extruder does not extrude plastic

Hello,
yesterday I experimented a while with kisslicer. Everything seems to work fine. But when me mendelmax starts with the gcode the extruder only ticks somehow but no plastic is coming out. As I look at the gcode it seems to me, that kisslicer has some problems with addressing the extruder.
Do I have to change something in the gcode section at "extruder selection"? I left it untouched standard. Some lines are there with code for BfB and 5D-style.
How do I select my extruder.

Thanks for Your help in advance ...
Thomas
