Good Morning,

I Built my 3D printer yesterday and tryed to make a first test last night. But i had an issue with extruder motor. the filament don't advance in the extruder. i read forums and test some changes to solve this problem. In firt step i tested to make the motor rotate with the LCD command. that didn't worked. in second time i changed the motor connection and plug it to X axis command. when i tried to command the engine with X axis the motor worked (he vibrate but filament don't advance). i tried the second plug for extruder (i changed plug connection and microcard place to test extruder 2) but the motor didn't works.

Could you help me about the breakdown ?
I don't know if it is a software / firmware error or card breakdown.

Thank you in adavance for your response

(Sorry if my english is not right)

Hi,
Did you solve it?
I'm not sure if you have read this post ever:

And did you heat up your extruder before test?
