My 3D printer is a Monoprice Maker Select v2 and the G-code is being written with VS Code locally and sent with OctoPrint (I have tried directly from the SD as well to no avail).
I have macgyvered the extruder so that it extrudes solder instead of plastic filament for a project. The solder still extrudes using the physical dial on the 3D printer through settings but does not work with through G-code.
I thought this could be from the firmware's cold extrusion prevention, so I played around with the M302 command. I tried using the P parameter and setting the S parameter very low as per this question suggestions.
It still doesn't work and I'm getting a little frustrated as I do not want to have to change the conf and reflash the firmware just for this project.
My code is below. I hope I missed something basic, but whatever it is, any help would be greatly appreciated.
M17 ; enable steppers
M302 S20 ; disable extruder cold safety
M82 ; relative extrusion
G92 E0 ; zero extruded length
G1 F200 E5 ; extrude 5mm
G90 ; absolute positioning
G28 X Y ; home x and y
G0 F10000 ; set feedrate for all following G0 and G1 commands
M300 S0 P100 ; play tone
