Topic: Extruder Stepper Motor Broken?
Last night i was having trouble with my prints and found out the extruder was not extruding. Thinking there was a jam, i pulled out the filament and replaced it only to have the drive gear twitch as i tried to feed it back through. Click forward, click back. No smooth forward motion. Even if i pressed on the filament to assists the drive gear feeding it through still clicks. I have been printing all weekend a few 7hr prints. Is it possible i burned out my motor? I did notice some weird blobbing on a few parts i'd never seen before. Other than that nothing unusual. Loose connection maybe? I checked all the connections to make sure they are secure and there was no change to the extrusion. Any ideas?
