Save_config not Autogenerating

General Discussion

I think my issue is the Z endstop. I have had the extruder / bed save config working. but not the probe. I feel i am missing a step in the initial setup that tells the printer where the Z endstop is, but being that i am using tap, i think i may have missed a step.

When i comment out the extruder control pid: I get this error:
Option ‘control’ in section ‘extruder’ must be specified

I don’t get an error when i comment it out with the Bed

Got it figured. The save_config only reads from the prtinter,cfg file. so my [include sb2240] file was not being read. I moved the [extruder], [probe] to printer.cfg, reran all my initial steps and all is working.

My apologies for my lack of Knowledge and wasting all your time. I do a lot of trial and error. it just takes longer.

Sorry I missed that - yes, you’re right when you have an include with parameters that are updated by SAVE_CONFIG they are ignored. I found that out the hard way myself.

Good luck with your printer!
