I think I have a NEW extruder problem
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2017 10:40 am
When I got my Me Creator, the extruder motor worked. And I nearly had success with my first print. I increased my temperatures and voila! The extruder stopped working. Let me be specific:
I can manually move the X, Y, and Z with the knob. The Extruder, gives No action.
Extruder and bed are up to temperature.
The motor is enabled (I cannot turn it by hand)
The voltage from the power-supply is set to 110 (America)
The display IS working.
ALL of the AXIS are WORKING.
I've tested the cable and tried swapping the motor drivers around. No good.
I connected the extruder to the Z axis and tested the motor.
So:
Motor good
Cable good
Driver good
At this point, I can only assume it's a firmware issue. Has anyone had success reflashing firmware? I'd hate to botch it and be minus 1 3d printer.
