Okay stuck again for some reason extruder is not feeding filament

2

What’s going on exactly. Is they extruder’s motor not turning ?

Okay here is the best explanation. The extruder motor on the printer is not turning so I hooked up another stepper motor I had and it din’t respond. I used the code to disable waiting for hot end to heat and allowed the hotend to come to temp. Out of frustration I re hooked up my RAMPS board and it turns the extruder. Sooo help me @Arthur_Wolf

Hey.

So your extruder motor is not turning, even if you connect another stepper motor ? Did it use to work before ?

Cheers.

I don’t think it ever did I just wasn’t sure if it was a firmware setting. Can I use extruder 2 by itself and how do I configure firmware. Just to check if it’s the driver?

You just need to change the step/direction/enable pins for your extruder module in config, set the current for the epsilon driver, and plug the motor into the 5th motor driver.
