Extruder Motor Inverted

Post by devamp »

I was trying to find out why my filament was not coming out of the nozzle even after heating the hotend.

I decided to try extruding through the repetier host software, but I noticed that instead of extruding the filament was being retracted.

I then realized that when trying to extrude through the repetier host software that the extruder motors move backwards which retracts the filament.

I then tried to manually push the filament back down and it started flowing.

I'm not too sure if this would mean any trouble for my prints.

I guess your extruder motor has a wrong direction,you should modify it in the firmware:
