📢 Cura LulzBot Edition 4.13 v2.4 Beta Testing - Now with more MAC in every download!

The workhorse does have an hotend timeout. I was just curious since I made a thread about in that in May and got this official response.

@Glitch404 - Currently the TAZ Pro does not have a hot end idle timeout. This is a known issue that is being worked on

Which is why when I reviewed the patchnotes, I noted that v2.9 had firmware that made the Pro “safer” than the previous firmware

@Wrathernaut

While not being experienced enough in programming to debug it thoroughly, I suspect that it has to do with the Z steppers holding this gantry in position that is being seen as motion, which keeps resetting the timeout, thus preventing the hot end from cooling down. You’ll notice that the Pro will disable the X/Y steppers (causing them to go to ?s for coordinates), but the Z never does.

Thus I wonder how the workhorse has a timeout if its held by the z axis motors based on what you said back then?

Is it because that would not be possible without Marlin 2?
